LLMs are also feeding into the current state of unwillingness to think of a lot of people. People seem to just want an answer to their questions instead of an explanation. People just want a short version of “the truth” handed to them instead of making the effort to learn, research, and think critically.

While I do believe in the usefulness of AI and the advantages it possesses, but I also think it’s very dangerous in the modern age of “information consumerism”. We should teach kids about AI but also encourage critical thinking and problem solving instead of depending on LLMs to solve our problems for us. At the end LLMs are just machines that guesses what the next word would be according to its training dataset and some sophisticated algorithms for logical “reasoning” and mathematical computions (optional).

How long before AI runs on this?

Biological artificial intelligence would be very very creepy we are basically playing God here. It feels like creation another species so we don’t feel lonely in the universe.

As a computer engineering student who has just got into this whole fediverse thing recently I find the concept of decentralised social media to be pretty mesmerizing. I didn’t think people would actually seek the ability to cross-communicate too.
