If they can't distinguish LLM text, then why should they care?

Anti-AI people like to bring up hallucination as if everything AI generates is false.

I can write pages of text, with my own content, and then use AI to improve my writing and clarity. Then I review and edit. It might have some LLM markers in there, which I remove sometimes because it's distracting. But the final, AI assisted writing is easier to read and better organized. But all the ideas are mine. Hallucinations are not remotely a problem in this case.

If you can’t distinguish between fake images and real ones why should you care?

[kevin42]

That depends on the purpose of the image.

If it's used to create a false narrative (like a deep fake), sure, you should care. But if it's used as an alternative to a stock photo, or as an easy way to make an infographic then no, I don't think you should care.

Why should I care? The world is full of false narratives.

How can I have the bandwidth to care about everything all of the time?

I swear that more than half of the complaining that I find here comes from priveledged people bike shedding over inane topics, and who have never had to really worry about serious survival-level (how am I going to eat today?) issues in their lives.

Why submit to the false narratives proliferation? It's goal is to make everyone's lives worse, including yours.

From the mere fact USA has a staggering number of school massacres doesn't mean we all should stop caring.

And when an LLM starts hallucinating, and I emphasize “when,” is that not the same issue as creating a false narrative?
