Angry Russians displaced after Ukraine crossed the border and invaded the Kursk region last week have vented their frustrations online to President Vladimir Putin.
The criticisms represent an unusually public show of defiance in a country where any cracks at the leader or military can draw harsh punishments.
Then OP should have found a way to present it so that people could more easily verify it and not just expect us all to trust software which constantly lies.
It’s not a 14 page paper, it’s two references to widely known historical events. I feel like I’m going insane…
Prompt: In 1-2 sentences, summarize the Russian revolution”s impact on social unrest.
Responses: Amidst widespread dissatisfaction with the Tsarist regime due to economic hardship, military failures, and political repression, the Russian people ultimately overthrew a centuries-old monarchy.
I’m not saying “create me a story about Russian people revolting”. I’m taking an event I’m already aware of and asking for it to get boiled down to a simple statement.
I would know if it’s lying because I paid attention in high school and college & I know what the Russian revolution is.
This is being blown way out of proportion because people see “LLM” and freak out. I use LLMs constantly in my day to day life for shit like this (and I’m not going to stop). I also feed it things I’ve written and ask it to check grammar and tighten it up. The LLM isn’t “creating” anything in those cases either, it’s just making things easier to read/understand; acting as an editor.
Sorry if that scares you.
It doesn’t scare me. I just see no reason to trust LLMs after all the lies. There are plenty of legitimate sources that could be quoted.
A People’s Tragedy: The Russian Revolution: 1891-1924.
Orlando Figes, 1998
Go read it and tell me what you learn; happy?
Believe it or not, there is a huge gulf between “paste what a lying sentence construction machine says” and “require people to go to the right library.”
But of course, that would require you to be arguing in good faith.
Lmao, we aren’t talking about some obscure, niche topic. You asked for a source and I gave you one…
Stop moving the goalposts; if anyone is arguing in bad faith it’s you my friend.
Google “russian revolution 1917” and read the first academic article you see. Your lack of research is not my responsibility…
I never moved the goalposts. If you can’t figure out how to paste text from and then link to a couple of websites on the subject or even Wikipedia and thus rely on the thing that tells people to put glue on pizza, don’t be surprised if you’re criticized for it.
I’m perfectly capable of pasting a link to a website; I chose to use a source from a book I read in college and is sitting on a shelf at my house.
I’m not obligated to do a Google search for you.
And again, the LLM isn’t doing my research for me; it’s summarizing an event that I’m already aware of.
I’m afraid you don’t understand how the burden of proof works. I’d give you an easy link to understand it, but someone told me recently, “I’m not obligated to do a Google search for you.”
I find it extremely difficult to believe two events over 70 years apart that I know are very different in many ways could ultimately have the same underlying cause.
And as you haven’t actually made a point, just asserted they do, there’s no reason to believe they do. LLM or not
I don’t know what to tell you. You can pretty easily look up the agreed upon causes of two pretty impactful and well known historical events. We aren’t talking about some small conflict in some small village in sub-Saharan Africa; the events in question are the Russian revolution and fall of the Soviet Union.
I’m sure you can find dissenting opinions, but what I commented is largely agreed upon.
Had I not been honest about using LLMs to summarize a few sentences, we wouldn’t even be having this discussion. If you want to play devils advocate, provide a differing opinion. Your only hang up seems to be that I used a LLM in any capacity.
I’m not even saying it’s the only cause, just that it contributed…
