The Information Services era has concluded, progress to the next era at your leisure.
Words & Art help us express what exist in our minds. A tool can help bring thoughts out, but a tool that takes away your agency and intention, that creates for you, bastardizes the inherent intent of expression. The quirks & mistakes are often what make it truly you.
Do not resign your agency.

This is not a pro-GenAI / LLM post, I do not recommend these tools or replicating my experiment. This is purely educational to show how much they have advanced.

They did this because they want you to ask co-Pilot to do it for you. Companies build software to push you towards preferred behavior, not your desired behavrior: e.g. use our new tools instead of old ones.

Forget how we get to the left image, this prompt should not be able to turn it into the right image.

I don't even think most LLM / GenAI haters actually get how powerful they are. Gemini Search gives terrible results, I've seen it firsthand.
When used with intention, though, this is too easy to make realistic content. Or just sit there and say, "More please" and its endless

I continue to co-sign everything below but I am providing an update, based on experimenting with Co-Pilot, ChatGPT, and Gemini recently:
-LLMs continue to scale up
-They are immensely powerful today
-They remain a tool
-AGI sounds silly
My vote for the politician who regulates LLMs, open to ideas.

Hello to the new folks!
3 months ago I resigned as a Director of IT because I couldn't persuade my org against GenAI use and I stand by it.
GenAI/LLMs are powerful tech but
-They don't work as marketed
-Destroy critical thinking
-Easy to manipulate
-Immense cost
-Main models run by evil companies

This week, I resigned from my position as Director of IT/Tech at an org I truly believed in. I wanted us to stop using Generative AI and was told no.
This thread will explain my decision and why I believe this is a true crisis. I hope ya see this and if you want to chat, + or -, lets do it 1/

![I've been taking the prompt: Review my cover letter: [CV] to additional steps. I first pushed it to keep being harsher until it wouldn't be any harsher. It would always suggest I re-write, no other option, so I told it to consider other options and be harsh. It told me to reconsider applying.
Then I asked it "can you reconcile why a LLM powered chabot would provide such distinct responses depending on the user. Does that sound wise?" and then after that response, I asked it "Does this still make sense in a world with numerous LLMs that share no collective framework? How about in a world of limitless LLMs"
Final answer, shown in the text:
👉 Bottom line: In today’s world of a few major LLMs, distinct responses are wise because they personalize without breaking trust. In a future of limitless, uncoordinated LLMs, that same adaptability could collapse into chaos unless there’s at least some shared framework for truth and responsibility.
Would you like me to sketch out what a collective framework for LLMs might look like — almost like a “constitution” for AI systems — to prevent that chaos?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7dpmbj2hff3qqbwyqixvtbzf/bafkreie4pqvv5rtq54krxorswx4pb63nqlxeqyu4iai64yyhu4rzrmwou4@jpeg)

And here we are, where we maybe should have been after the first prompt. Some will say this is user error, that I should take prompt trainings. Use the bot different and my experience would have been better.
That fundamentally misunderstands how most people use technology.
