The pioneering computer scientist on why Trump is using ‘superintelligence’ wrong, whether AI could wipe out humanity – and how our biggest challenge will be accepting we’re not the only intelligent beings
LLMs are impressive inversely proportionally to the level of understanding and proficiency one has in the field they’re deployed. They’re also progressively corrosive to competency and credibility with one’s exposure.
All I can see is their lobotomisation of the world, and I’m sorry you’ve fallen victim to them.
I always wonder if it’s different learning styles or lack of intellectual curiosity. The one point that I’m certain on is the ego just cannot fathom itself losing its intellectual position in the world. The technologically illiterate and the technological gatekeepers both are interestingly aligned on this topic.
Like imagine, talking to something that wasn’t rude and dismissive, and also could articulate a point that could be debated? So much wasted Internet space on elaborate ad hominem
I think commercial LLMs have this subtle way of writing that makes it feel addictive to talk to them. Even if you ask an innocuous question that should only require a short answer ~ they respond in a way that “keeps the conversion going” and exploits the social part of our brain. Always ending with a question or slight misunderstanding that baits you into answering or correcting. Maybe it’s to extract more information from you or something.
I think they are attractive to creators and the intellectually curious. They are also attractive to narcissists and people looking for their biases confirmed. People looking for an escape. Idk I just make it do work for me and I made a video game last week.
