For someone highly literate, llms aren't going to help you write better. If you're borderline functionally illiterate (this is > 50% of the population according to some studies), I'm sure the llms are awesome.

I've long thought the same about all the hype around coding (plenty of examples from years ago now), but will continue to test the new models. They are improving.

I think my anxieties would be different if I were confident a DDR guide full of lies would be spurned and unprofitable.

In a way, I'm not worried about the LLMs per se as much as a kind of moral and ethical collapse. A debasement of the currency of communication, a market of intellectual-lemons.

I saw electroboom's latest video lamenting facebook AI slop about electricity, such as a way to wire a three-way switch that blows a fuse when you turn the light on. For some reason, I am shadowbanned on HN.
