Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Absolutely. And to be clear, the "researcher" being quoted is just a guy on the internet who self-published an official looking "paper".
That said- I think that's partly why it's so interesting that this particular group of people identified the problem, because this group of people are pretty extreme LLM devotees and already ascribe unrealistic traits to LLMs. So if they are noticing people "taking it too seriously" then you know it must be bad.
They didn't identify any problem...
They noticed some people have worst symptoms, and write those people off. While not even second-guessing their own delusions.
That's not rare either, it's default human behavior.
You're being awfully hard on them for having so much in common....
In the article they quoted the moderator (emphasis mine):
It seems pretty clear to me that they view it as a problem. Why ban something if they don't see it as a problem?
Then I'm shocked you didn't make it to the second sentence:
Or even worse, you did read that and just can't realize the connection between two sentences.
But I'll never understand why people want to argue, you could have asked and I'd have explained it, you'd have learned something.
Instead you wanted a slap fight because you didn't understand what someone said.
