ChatGPT has a billion users so surely not all of the public hates it

I use LLMs and I think they should be nuked from orbit. [Speaking figuratively, NSA.]

Helpful, sure. Would humanity be better off without generative AI? Definitely.

I feel like this can be explained in part by “I like using it for myself, but I hate when others use it.”

When you use ChatGPT for yourself, you may have a sense that what you see is made up; when someone else that you trust uses it and pronounces the output in a way that suggests it is their own, you are left doing much more complex social math to figure out if your trust in this person or entity can hold. It gets exhausting, personally.

Usage != positive feelings.

why? I think both generally track. And I won't appreciate category errors such as calling it similar to smoking

		That's your experience, perhaps. I use it extensively in my work, and some in my personal life. I also think it's a net negative for society, will likely be highly destructive, and I would be happy to give up my use of it in exchange for its elimination.

That’s not really an accurate measure, assuming it’s true, but I for one have an openAI account but I never used it, like not once, and you can imagine a lot of people too are the same, rest maybe casually, others only on free tier.

> ChatGPT has a billion users

And their company's leadership is famous for compulsively lying. Pardon me if I suspect they might be arriving at that number using creative math.
