A New Reality Show Will Pay Cash if Players Can Convince Experts the Earth Is Flat
  • That's a red herring. I don't care about the original post because, like you pointed out, it's about entertainment, not science.

    Back to the original question I asked the parent poster, I'd like to know what value would bring two experienced astronauts debating a flat earth argument.

  • I wish I was as bold as these authors.
  • I don't follow how you went from being concerned about using profanity in research papers because of audiences such as religious communities, to being concerned about LLMs spewing inaccurate things.

    Has your original question always been about the latter?

    I love the term too but I wonder how it'll be used in situations where profanity is discouraged

  • I wish I was as bold as these authors.
  • You're one fine poster, and I like your discussion style.

    Sorry if I sounded harsh at times.

    I didn't even think of how would neurodiverse people in the picture, and now you have made me think about things.

  • I wish I was as bold as these authors.
  • I didn't downvote you, by the way.

    But I'm curious: are you still talking about LLMs discussions that include profanity?

    Or are you talking about something different, the fact that LLMs can spew bullshit, and that religious congregators should be informed about this?

  • I wish I was as bold as these authors.
  • I'm just an individual, so my opinion may be just that. My opinion.

    To answer your question, families may ban the use of said words in the sanctity of their own homes, for example.

    The only reason I may feel that curse words are inappropriate in any situation is because I'm already conditioned, from childhood, to think of them as "they may offend." But if no such conditioning existed, I'd say they would be okay in any instance, because the words per se are not offending. The intent is.

    Take, for example, an eulogy. A person speaking of someone who recently passed away, may say "Excuse me everyone, but gosh darn, why did he have to leave so soon? I feel like a failure, because I could have done more. I'm a failure!" Why should it be different from "Excuse me everyone, but fuck, why did he have to leave so soon? I feel like I fucked up because I could have done more. I'm a fuckup!" Really, the only reason we may silently gasp at the second version is because we were conditioned to "gasp" at those words while growing up. Not because the words cause actual psychological, irreparable harm.

    You touched the topic of religion in other comments. I guarantee you that when God, before killing everyone with a flood during Noah's ark times, I'm sure He at least, at the very least looked at the state of the "failed world" and said "well, shit!"

  • I wish I was as bold as these authors.
  • Which ones? The ones that allow raping of children by their leaders?

    Or the ones that promote violence in their holy books, like killings and torturing to death? Oh, but the profanity! Not the profanity.
