What it boils down to is that you’re refusing the perfectly viable solution right in front of you for a trivial reason. You would hate it if someone did that to you. If you took your phone to the repair shop because some part was broken and the repair shop refused to give you the part they had because they didn’t think it looked good enough, you go ballistic. Yet when we go ballistic for you refusing to give us a perfectly viable speech engine because it doesn’t live up to your idealism, we’re bad.

It’s on the thread where the original blog post was posted. I try to be understanding earlier in the year because there was genuinely no solution.

If you bought an iPhone and it was missing a screen, you’d flip your lid. if the repair shop near you had the green and just refuse to put it in, you’d flip your lid. There is a speech engine here that would work and they’re refusing it. That speech engine is my screen. Without it, I can’t use the device. I tried to help out when there was genuinely no solution, but now there is a solution and it’s being refused because it’s not good enough 2025-05-25T18:37:30Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsd9x9jctnkkcx6n6st9kc7ylgxhtux4e4v4dpnwkheve92t03nydszypj6lhjgs609mr9n2zx3l5aqmz7rf94dcketgvch4al4wq4kuzlpgs278c6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswyyd5ef76wq024rmez7k3wjszduztuqxsad0g08z58fy9v234uwgsncaex'>nevent1q…caex</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>the moment when using an LLM came into the discussion for the solution.
