The tu quoque argument doesn't really work here. LLMs are specifically designed to output either material from their training set or instances that look statistically like it. Humans are not.

LOL. Tolkien invented multiple languages. There are/were probably 100 000 languages on this planet. That's without including dialects.

We use existing languages not because we love to copy, it's because languages are a medium for communication. They're only useful if they're understood by others.

If you wanted to prove a point: writing is much, much harder to invent, yet it was invented independently at least 3 times in history. By definition LLMs can't invent something truly novel like writing. Because nobody trained the first writers. There was no "training set".

It's fine, LLMs can still be useful. Science is looking at the gaps and most of the gaps that are useful are small and LLMs can explore those faster than us. That could potentially improve many lives. Though not in this corporate LLM world, most likely.

I’m sorry but I find this to be the worst response possible lol.

Do you honestly not see how there is a difference between a computer regurgitating information vs a human uses what they’ve learned and applying it?

I just can’t take your argument seriously, it’s so disingenuous
