This story about ChatGPT causing people to have harmful delusions has mind-blowing anecdotes.@Wyatt_H_Knott @futurebird @grammargirl I implore you wonderful people to try local LLMs with an open mind. Like most powerful tools, you get out of it what you put in and it can surely be misused.
Once it's running on an aging, modest computer right next to you, it's hard to not notice the staggering implications for our relationship with society's existing power structures. I have a personal tutor right out of Star Trek that nobody can take away from me or use to spy on me. Apart from all the cool automation and human-machine interaction it opens up, for an increasing number of tasks I can completely stop using search engines.
I think the "AI is just NFTs again but more evil; it just means the inevitable acceleration of billionaire takeover and ecosystem destruction; everyone who uses it is a gullible rube at best and an enemy at worst" clickbait ecosystem is misleading and unhealthy. It fuels conspiratorial thinking, incurious stigma, and a lot of unnecessary infighting.
