Lol what? Ad hominems? Oh Jesus Christ you're one of those... So I ignored your argument and said you didn't know what you were talking about because you were a janitor? Or that you can't possibly understand LLMs because you're too old/young/uneducated?
No. Disagreeing is not an ad hominem. Claiming you don't understand something is not an ad hominem. Misunderstanding is not an ad hominem. I even apologized for the misunderstanding. And if you can't see how "I believe in X because I care about humanity," doesn't directly insinuate that not caring about X means you don't care about humanity, then holy fuck communication was never going to work.
It's a shame, because you had some good points, and I was hoping that apologizing would have reduced your hostility. But I can see now that your goal has been to "Win" the argument. I've literally never seen that ad hominem claim used incorrectly, by somebody trying to have an honest discussion.
Also. Nothing I said is ad hominem either. It's direct commentary of events within this conversation, independent of what your profession is or who you are. Even the "You're one of those," comment is not ad hominem.
I'm done ๐.
Chill out, dude. Touch some grass. Re-examine your interactions with people. You seem to be doing a lot of projecting.
