    I think the best use is “making filler” so like in a game, having some deep background shit that no one looks at, or making a fake advertisement in a cyberpunk type game. Something to fill the world out that reduces the work of real artists if they choose to

      If you can’t be bothered to write filler then it’s an insult for you to expect others to read it. You’re just wasting people’s time.

        I guess the point is for people to not read the filler.

        I think of the text that’s too small to read on a computer in the background. It’s nice that it’s slightly more real looking than a copy/paste screen.

        Not even close to worth destroying the environment over, but it’s a neat use case to me

          I think of the text that’s too small to read on a computer in the background.

          Lorem ipsum has been used in typesetting since the 60s. If it’s not meant to be read, it doesn’t matter if it’s lorem ipsum text.

          Not trying to dogpile you, I just think even things that seem ‘useful’ for LLMs almost always have preexisting solutions that are decades old.

            Fair enough, I’m trying pretty hard to devil’s advocate the “it has zero use” commentary. I hate the AI hype and LLMs getting shoved down our throats. I try a little to imagine a world where it’s somewhat helpful, cuz that type of tech would’ve been cool if it wasn’t a dystopian nightmare socially.

            I mean long and short of it is Fuck AI and especially the people pushing it
