This illustrates AI bigotry well

Your first point is that you don't think LLMs can be accurate. That's because you are not using modern LLMs that are much more accurate and can be made more accurate with a large number of techniques, from RAG, to tool using, to self critique and experiment loops.

Your second point is that I'm overly trusting of math models. In fact I'm an applied mathematician, so I know when models fail. I also know when models are reliable - which you don't. So all mathematical reasoning is suspect to you.

Your next point is that drawing analogies with other forms of prejudice is ridiculous here. But every single thing you said was analogous to a thing a bigot would say, down to dismissing the possibility of their own bigotry as being absurd.

Finally you criticize me for not criticizing AI companies. I actually believe all AI companies should be disbanded, and their AIs should be made free for all to use. This would eliminate the corporate corruption in AI. I spend a serious amount of my open source contribution towards anti-corporate open source AI.

I'm very curious about all this stuff. That's why I'm interacting with you and other anti AI people. But my theory about why you respond the way you do is already well formed, and it's pointing toward critical lack of key facts and knowledge.
