    Poe’s law.

    I’ve seen tech bros unironically argue that

    • The sole purpose of art is the end product
    • The objectively correct thing to do with a piece of human-made art that is not up to your standard of quality is to feed it through an image to image model to “improve” it so that it is up to a publishable standard
    • Their LLM is better than them at their day job
    • Resolving marital disputes by asking ChatGPT who’s right is an appropriate thing to do
    • Letting an LLM answer every single email you get eliminates the need to read them yourself
    • An LLM is sapient and has its own thoughts and opinions
    • Making and eating food is a waste of time, and eliminating it from their day using meal replacement shakes feels “liberating”

    In light of that, this isn’t too farfetched.
