This problem is far more insidious than people realise.
It's not about the big confirmations. Most of us catch that andd are reasonably good at it.
It's the subtle continuous colour the "conversations" have.
It's the Reddit echo chamber problem on steroids.
You have a comforting affirming niche right in your pocket.
Every anxiety, every worry, every uncertain thought.
Vomitted to a faceless (for now)"intelligence" and regurgitated with an air of certainty.
Will people have time to ponder at all going forwards?
In a funny way it reminds me of writing survey questions. You have to be so careful not to introduce some bias just with the wording, as you can basically nudge the LLM to the answer you want with some little hints in the q e.g. "is it right that..."
Yes. It is all about making uncertain things "certain".
It’s making management manic, cult-like, and near psychotic. They have stopped caring about all the safeties and their only metric is how much LLMs are infused into everything. I use it, but having grown up in a cult this feels like a virus that’s infected everyone and nobody is making informed or good decisions anymore, because there is already an Answer and the only thing is finding the right questions that lead to it.
Advocating openclaw, LLMs attached to everything without any containment. We are in for a reckoning it feels like. The closest thing I can approximate this feeling to is like a massive bloom of insects where there is this huge amount of fuel in the systems we use. I do hope I’m wrong, and I’m surprised there haven’t been as many high profile hard crashes, so maybe my fear is overblown.
