    LLMs are useful for a great deal of things, particularly offline translation without having to send data to Google’s servers. Sometimes I want to send a long message to friends and family but don’t want to write it in English, Polish, and Hindi.

    But who thought using it for news headlines was a good idea?! Given the tens of thousands of news headlines published daily, some of them are statistically guaranteed to be falsely presented by AI.

    E: not sure whether people are downvoting because they want Google to have their data, they don’t want people from different cultures talking to one another, or because they want AI-altered news stories.

      People giving the “screw AI” downvote, while understandable, are just handing the world to corporate LLMs at the expense of locally runnable ones. Why do you think Altman, Google shareholders and such are pushing the LLM danger angle so hard?
