Shrikant Joshi @shrikant.bksy.social posts "That's a very dismissive construct of LLMs, IMHO.

All the terrible shit McConnell did was when he was majority leader."

A series of tweets by Jeannette Ng: Eye-opening little anecdote from a friend who ran a table top game for his all male gaming group. He gender flipped every character in the pre-written module resulting in an all female setting. His players grew increasingly paranoid and were convinced of a conspiracy. The players (convinced there's some sort of murder cult going on) started scouring the setting for men. The pre-written module's village contained only one female character: The wife of the blacksmith. Unnamed. Which of course was all the more suspicious to them. There was absolutely nothing my friend could do to convince his players that there wasn't a great conspiracy or at least a basement full of dead dudes.
