Turns out, people here are just as opinionated and snarky as anywhere else. It's grounding, really.

I admit I may have rose colored glasses on, but the snark, toxicity and the need to “gotcha” feels like it has gotten acutely worse over the last couple of years. My unfounded theory is that with the democratization of software development with LLMs, it has encouraged more to participate in tech dedicated forums. So, you trend towards forums like Reddit level comments now.

The degradation of comment quality has always been a complaint over years well before LLMs, but it feels much worse recently is all. There was a repost of an article where someone made a LAN gaming house and I was dismayed just how toxic the overall comments were of someone’s success. Compared to years prior where the comments were of a much different positive tone.

"i don't like llms" (someone's opinion)

someone else gives their opinion

"waaah"

Please, please consider keeping this style of posting restricted to other parts of the internet.

maybe you should limit your time on the internet.

you're clearly not equipped to handle interacting with other people who might have different opinions from you. what's with the white knighting? you're telling people to fit your world view.

you do realize the title of the article posted is literally "I don't like LLMs" right?
