Seeing how completely crazy people across vast swathes of society have gone for AI/LLMs has significantly downgraded my opinion of other people, which was already pretty low.
You don’t have to have a wide knowledge base to figure out these things hallucinate constantly if you ask them anything that isn’t super easy to find yourself on a search engine—and if you can do that, why bother with LLM? And yet I still (with horror) see some people say that they ‘learn’ things from it and that it’s their favorite way to ‘learn’! If you aren’t constantly fact checking you’re doing the digital equivalent of casting bones to see what it says.
