FWIW, I am in the top 1% of Stack Overflow participants and I am likely to never ask or answer another question on the site if it's going to be intentionally turned into machine-generated sludge
@glyph this isn't procgen please don't call this procgen ._. there is nothing "procedural" about LLM snake oil. Procgen is a word that already meant something different, and I'm terrified that everyone is going to start thinking the kind of art I make is just some inhuman ai bullshit when it has nothing to do with neural nets or machine learning and I spent an obscene amount of time building it.
@aeva I would quibble with you on the semantics (I have seen beautiful procgen art that did use linear algebra and/or neural networks, that was not sludge, and I do think that LLMs are "procedural") but out of respect I will avoid calling it that in the future. I don't want to do it the respect of calling it "GenAI" since it is not AI either, and "LLM" doesn't cover the equally-problematic image or song generation stuff, so the terminology continues to be annoying…
If that's not a universal and timeless truth, I don't know what is.
(Especially given how much any useful terminology almost immediately ceases to be useful due to con artists finding it profitable to co-opt such utility.)
