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.
having no internal monologue doesn’t save me from songs or song fragments looping in my head 😅
it also doesn’t mean i’m not thinking. i can have a millionty different ideas swirling in my head at once, they’re just conceptual and not being voiced by an internal narrator
this might be a bit off-topic for fuck_ai tho, apologies to the mods if so!
That’s awesome! Thank you! ( and mods)
