Storing a childs’ tracing of the mona lisa in a vault is a form of preservation, doesn’t make it useful outside of very specific contexts.

That’s hyperbole of course, but slop conversions are a facsimile of greatly varying quality.

That’s vastly underselling the importance of actual translation.

You are free to chose “nothing”, but I really do not understand why you would complain here.

All pro-llm arguments are prefaced with:

“If we ignore the massive environmental, ethical and moral issues with how they came about and are continuing to be served/developed then…”

The cost of LLM’s as a whole is a pretty reliable platform upon which to complain.

It’s not always useful, but it is always applicable.
