Those people are their own worst enemies.

Some people will always look for ways to "cheat". I don't want to hold back everyone else just because a few people will harm themselves by using this stuff as a replacement for learning and developing themselves.



Do you genuinely believe that this only applies to "a few people"?

This new post gets at the issue: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45868271


I don't understand the argument that post is making.

I agree that people using LLMs in a lazy way that has negative consequences - like posting slop on social media - is bad.

What's not clearly to me is the scale of the problem. Is it 1/100 people who do this, or is it more like 1/4?

Just a few people behaving badly on social media can be viewed by thousands or even millions more.

Does that mean we should discard the entire technology, or should we focus on teaching people how to use it more positively, or should we regulate its use?
