I would be happy if more and normal people were actually mad at ai.
Normal people are losing themselves in AI. I’ve seen multiple instances of people using LLM to fact check someone. Endless “uhh, but I asked ChatGPT and it said blablabla” making me lose faith in humanity.
Yeah it’s become impossible to have philosophical discussions, although this truly does seem limited to the virtual world (i.e. via text, online, etc.). If I were to go have some drinks with a friend and they busted out some LLM to take part in our discussion I would chastise them endlessly for it.
Honestly its not much different from a google search and reading some nonsense written by someone who has no authority in the subject. As long as it reinforces their belief itll be true in their eyes
TBH, tech companies showing AI down our throats is still no good, open-source alternative existing or not.
Notepad++ is just, a top tier app
People are allowed to want what they’re comfortable with to not be riddled with llms
i’m still mad at np++ for the version that supported the french media outlet that was an attack victim. not for that but for sneaking in an auto-typing text tab that looked SO MUCH like a virus especially since it was not in the original release notes.
Yeah the dev is notorious for sneaking in irrelevant political virtue signaling bullshit. I get that they want to do good to the world, but there are so many ways to do that without alienating your users. For example, partnering up with a charity. You know. Like VIM does.
A more credible response would be
But FOSS is Malware! Everyone can see what I do tif I use it.
Yup, fucking captured it!
