This is something that I think should be studied more. I think a large reason chatbots are so popular, is that they are just used as a sounding board for people who either have no inner monologue, or no one else to talk to, or they’ve never kept a notebook/journal of any kind. The bots help them get their thoughts out, and while stroking their ego, it helps them think through problems. The llm isn’t actually solving anything. It’s just helping those people think through it.
It’s interesting to me. I think a lot of people addicted to LLM’s probably aren’t good at critical thinking, and that’s why they enjoy using it, because it guides them along (and can reinforce their preconceived beliefs, which is the dangerous part).
It’s definitely a bad thing for human brains. It will be an interesting field of study in the future for sure.
i just think in thoughts & concepts, i’m not sure how else to explain it. i suppose thought must have evolved before language did, going back far enough in our evolution. and if it isn’t broken, why fix it? 😅
i can get songs & music stuck in my head, or sometimes just a fragment of a song stuck on a loop, so it’s not all silence all the time.
that might be getting a bit off-topic for fuck_ai tho. but essentially, i see how gen-ai chatbots are designed to prey on people who are lonely/isolated/lacking community & who are feeling low enough that they don’t care about their own long-term wellbeing (let alone future generations’), but idk if thinking differently is necessarily exploitable the same way.
