I love and appreciate my friends so I don’t want to sound ungrateful, but why did I ask for a tofu recipe and get sent a reel. Is this how we do things now?

Is it cynical to say that I think they’re just trying to get folks to drag out their subscriptions over several months instead of binging a whole season and the canceling their subscription? Because I can’t think of a reason why they’d do this

The arrest of online fanfic erotica writers (99% young women) in China is still ongoing, some are getting sentenced to 10 years in prison
I didn’t see any newer international coverage of this but I saw on Weibo today that more writers are getting sentenced right now

Personally I feel like most of the things I could use LLMs for in my personal life, (writing, art, coding, planning etc.) I care about and enjoy too much to want to use LLMs for them? Combined with the ethical and environmental concerns, they haven’t had any appeal for me
There are a lot of critiques of LLMs that I agree with but "they suck and aren't useful" doesn't really hold water.
I understand people not using them because of social, economic, and environmental concerns. And I also understand people using them because they can be very useful.
Thoughts?
