there absolutely is something wrong with sending the basis for decisions in matters of state to a foreign actor, though.

As i wrote in another comment, you can run a local instance of chatgpt or other ai on your own computer, no internet involved

[–] lime@feddit.nu 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

of course you can. why would a career politician who has very visibly been interested only in politics since his teens know how to do that?

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hah, true. But the point still stands that using an llm itself wasn't a bad thing

[–] lime@feddit.nu 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i'd say it's still bad because this is the leader of a government consulting with a stochastic parrot instead of experts.

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Presumably it wasn't instead of, it was in addition to, and therefore totally fine

[–] lime@feddit.nu 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

it's still not fine, as per my first point. it's leaking information to foreign interests.

[–] Beacon@fedia.io -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Right, but we already addressed that above. If it's done on a local pc's ai that doesn't operate using a net connection, and is used in addition to rather than instead of consulting with people, then it's totally fine

yeah but then we're no longer discussing the topic the thread is about.
