> The author seems to imply that the "framing" of an argument is done so in bad faith in order to win an argument (...) This tactic by the author is a straw-man argument This is what I was expecting from the title, but not really what I found in the content in the end. Instead, to me it read to be more about argumentation and inevitibilism in general, than about LLMs specifically. From my perspective, to claim and ride it otherwise rings as mischaracterization. ... Which is also an acknowledgement I missed from the article. The use of inevitability as a framing device is just one of the many forms of loaded language, and of the encoding of shared assumptions without preestablishing that the other person actually shares them. Notice how I didn't say that you're mischaracterizing the article outright - we clearly read what was written differently. To assert my interpretation as correct by encoding it as framing would be pretty nasty. Sadly not uncommon though, and it's one of those things that if you try to actually control for, writing in a digestable way in general becomes very hard to impossible. |
