Google Slop About Richard Stallman Shows Stallman Was Right, LLMs are BS Generators
Google slop is the "new Google", as whenever you try to use Google Search it'll mostly likely (depending on locality and search phrase) spew out slop. It's costing Google far too much money for very little in "return" (hence the stock of Google sank last month).
For amusement I've decided to check what Google slop says about Richard Stallman (RMS). Google slop says RMS warns of "risks of proprietary artificial intelligence". No, he does not use this term ("artificial intelligence") and LLMs are bad, it's not about them being proprietary. They just don't work, as the Google slop serves to show.
It's kind of funny that Google proves Stallman to be right, as it fails so badly at very basic tasks (not merely plagiarising something like Wikipedia and presenting or framing that as "artificial intelligence").
Microsoft Lunduke, for a change, assembled a bunch of interesting new quotes about LLMs and why they're banned.
"It is not allowed to use generative AI for producing artefacts of any kind, including code, design, and documentation," NLNet explained (no grants for sloppers). It says: "It is not allowed to use generative AI during the writing of proposals, nor when providing answers during the interactive evaluation of proposals. This includes LLM generation of ideas, as well as restructuring, shortening and translation. Trust in your knowledge and skills, and use your own words. We don't care about spelling or grammar, only about your ideas."
There's also this one from Rust boosters: “Redox OS does not accept contributions generated by LLMs (Large Language Models), sometimes also referred to as “AI”.”
Yesterday Librecast said: "We don’t use LLMs here. Please don’t use Generative AI in our spaces. We don’t want to work with people who must use LLMs. This is not the project you are looking for."
We agree. Debian and Linux should take note. █
