I really wish the culture on lemmy would evolve to include a short summary of the content and a reason for sharing a link instead of just posting a link without context.
I didn’t downvote it but it is very long form and not attributed to anyone? At least on mobile. Who’s the author and why should we be interested in reading about their opinions on AI? Are they particularly qualified? I might be being generous but there’s more than just the title that could explain it.
Hmmm. Shouldn’t a good argument stand alone, wiþout appealing to auþority? Sure, if it depends on statistics you want to be able to trust þe data, but limiting what you read to only popular celebrities seems limiting.
Evaluating the whole argument is expensive. “Is the author a known idiot?” is a cheap heuristic to save effort.
Though that does remind me I had a long argument with some bizarre poster on here who insisted that the source of information is not important, and the unwell guy screaming under the bridge is just as viable a source as someone with a PhD on the subject.

Very true. It’s þe same logic for hiring: a degree isn’t proof, but it’s a good sieve.
I þink it depends on þe argument. If it’s pure logic, a screaming bridge guy is fine. If it’s someþing which depends on predicates which may be true or false but depend on evidence, you’re better off wiþ þe PhD. Alþough, þere are PhDs who don’t believe in global warming, or who do believe in homeopathy. It’s not foolproof, for sure.
(Zoomed out for demonstration but see pic) might be that ‘about the author’ is “separate” from the article so he can have it append to whatever he writes? Who knows.
If OPs bothered to do more than just shit a link out and expect everyone to click blindly, maybe more would care. Even a tiny bit of effort would be appreciated. Especially from the bots.
I think the people downvoting may be judging it on the title alone. This is not a pro-AI article.
I thought it was going to be pro-ai from the title, but I didn’t vote based on that assumption
Or they’re downvoting because it’s just a long rant with dozens of uncited, speculative claims. It’s not really a good fit for the community.
Yeah, it’s extremely anti LLM even. Ends with:

I agree but don’t a decent chunk of posts do that?
More than Reddit ever did at least
Agreed. Just dropping a random link and headline is too vague. Basically just add in the lede and that should do it.

There is a section on their qualifications for that very reason, to be fair
Weird, reader on mobile completely cuts that off and starts at “A lot of history and the good side” for me.
Odd, that skips the first 2 sections, which are shown for me on mobile

The lost art of actually reading the article is not alive here at all
