    I don’t know about going that far - LLMs can be a great starting point …. As long as you click through to the sources rather than blindly accept

      Creating science Youtube videos is not more important than maintaining a livable planet. AI is unnecessary and harmful, and should not be used outside of certain brute-force type of applications like protein folding, simulating new drug structures, or preliminary cancer diagnosis.

        I mean you could say the same thing about YouTube being unnecessary and wasting power.

          Yes, I could, and then I’d look very stupid and annoying, so I won’t.

          Use of Youtube isn’t spiking fossil fuel consumption to an appreciable extent like AI is.

      Then you can also just as well skip that extra step and just do it yourself

        I could have always skipped the dewey decimal card catalog and just read the entire library but I’m not mycroft fucking holmes. You don’t have to use a search engine, you can just follow hyperlinks until you find the content you’re looking for.
