If we can change the rules of a discussion midway through, everyone loses. The parent replied to a question "What damage can be done with an llm without guardrails?" (regardless of the grandparent, this is how conversations work, you talk about the thing the other person talked about if you reply to them) and the response was to rattle off a bunch of stuff that LLMs can't do. Yes, they connected an LLM to an image generation AI. No, that doesn't mean "LLMs can generate images" aside from triggering some thing to happen. It's not pedantic or unreasonable to divide the two. The question was blatantly about LLMs.
If y'all want to rant and fear monger about any AI technology, including tech that has existed for years (deepfakes existed well before LLMs were mainstream), do that in a different thread. Don't just force every conversation to be about whatever your mind wants to rant about.
That said, arguing with you people is pointless. You don't even seem to think.

Then we lost repeatedly at almost every other step back to the root, because it switched between those two loads of times.
The change to LLMs was itself one such shift.

The aside is important.
> It's not pedantic or unreasonable to divide the two.
It is unreasonable on the question of "guardrails, good or bad?"
It is unreasonable on the question of "can it cause harm?"
It's not unreasonable if you are building one.

And caused problems for years.

Communication isn't a single-player game, I can't make you understand something you're actively unwilling to accept, like the idea that tools enable people to do more, for good and ill, and AI is such a tool.
Perhaps you should spend less time insulting people on the internet you don't understand. Go for a walk or something. Eat a Snickers, take a nap. Come back when you're less cranky.
