It takes considerable energy to train models and run inference. You can't dismiss AI generated content as "low effort", but you can dismiss it as a wasteful diversion.

That's like saying that low effort human-generated posts are worth your time because the phones and computers they're writing on take a lot of time and effort to build from scratch.

The person copy-pasting an AI response is generally not the person who trained said AI. Even if the total amount of effort is fairly large, the amount of effort put in by the person you're actually interacting with, is generally small.

Back when people would train Markov bots on IRC that was actually something novel for the first 30 minutes and you could appreciate it because they put in the work

You can’t take credit for other people’s work to displace the absence of your own

Way to miss the point. Bob on the other side of the room didn't train the model

@dang it's too bad the most interesting single comment in this whole thread is grayed out. as much as i love reading the same thing written 1,200 different ways, maybe the whole system needs to be revisited
