Could you more clearly define the cases you are including and excluding? It might have helped your original post if you had not left it to others to guess what you meant so freely.

It’s not a matter of a priveleged medium. It’s the fact an LLM is not a simulation of a brain. You can do the math for an LLM on paper, given enough time. The same cannot be said for a human brain. If human brains were as comprehensible as an LLM, we’d be too stupid to comprehend them.

Could you get a prion disease from your own body?

This is related to consent. You are suggesting they consented to the existence of the child, thus are responsible for the results of that consent. This ignores the MANY people who did not consent, and ignores the many more who did not give INFORMED consent. You are wading into deeper waters than you might realise if you are going to argue either side of the question of whether consent requires the consenter to be informed.

Just a single point of order: charges can be reported off cycle, i.e. not when the statement is generated but within a few days of the transaction. I thought it was monthly too but monitoring has shown otherwise.

That’s theoretically true, but that’s not what LLMs do. LLMs truly are just n-th level autocomplete. They aren’t simulating brain function. They’re just repeatedly outputting what ‘should’ be the next set of letters in the sequence.

We’re all idiots.

Choice is an illusion. So is destiny.

Never trust a fart.

Ignorant voting is the most common kind of voting.

It seems you don’t understand what they’re talking about. It’s not about the individual thumbnail and personal taste regarding the one individual image. It’s about the class of thumbnails that utilise/follow the ‘clickbait’ model, a system of manipulation developed and actively encouraged by the attention economy of ad-based media which has a broadly pleasant-feeling but long term negative effects on the users and society.

Not wanting to engage in or encourage the process of social harm is not a ‘personal issue.’
