It's unfortunate how many random questions LLMs can answer, I was essentially raised on tech forum posts I'd never think to ask or how to refine them to an answer through inquiry.

I hope my own model for learning is subsumed by leveraging the infinite patience of an LLM for another. But I worry there's just a certain kind of competency you don't get to from here. We'll see.

Even now I'm holding back on posting kind of general trivial questions because everybody knows I could just ask an LLM. I should override that instinct and instead just post it.

@SwiftOnSecurity tbh, I’d rather you ask here rather than ask an LLM. Better for the environment. Sometimes the question has nuance people are best equipped to answer. Finally, BUILDING COMMUNITY 🥰

@brennx0r @SwiftOnSecurity is it really better for the environment? I'm not sure.

@evan @brennx0r @SwiftOnSecurity yes, trivially so. both in the immediate case and in terms of the secondary effects of contributing to market signals that lead to further expenditure of energy on new models and integration into more systems.
