It’s telling that comments like these hit all the same points. “Plagiarism machine”, “convincing bullshit”, with the millions of people making productive use of ChatGPT belittled as “hype”, all based purely on one person’s hypothesis.

The proof is in the puddling. I am far from being alone in my use of LLMs, namely ChatGPT and Copilot, day-to-day in my work. So how does this reconcile with your worldview? Do I have a do-nothing job? Am I not capable of determining whether or not I’m being productive? It’s really hard for me to take posts like these seriously when they all basically say “anyone that perceives any emergent abilities of this tech is an idiot”.
