🤦 the whole article is just repackaged corpo propaganda suggesting "this is just something that happens with big new comms tech"
this entire article is just selling LLMs as relevant comms tech, it fucking isn't
Thank you for saving me what would have been in infuriating click.
Started reading and the very first line is:
Stopped right there and came back here. Clearly, not wasting my time by continuing was the correct decision.
I stopped at "Internet ethnographer."
I'd argue the article's point is "new communication technology encourages a particular form of psychosis, and LLMs are especially prone to encouraging psychosis because they generate such a believable imitation of speech".
I've been coming to believe LLMs dangerous to mental health in general for a lot of reasons, and I thought this was an interesting discussion of how a basic human instinct - to look for patterns and assume rational thought and meaning behind those patterns - has always gone wrong when applied to technology and is particularly dangerous when applied to LLM-generated content.
(Because there is a reason for every LLM-generated utterance, and that reason is "make the company money". LLMs are capitalist speech acts in their purest form.)
BTW, what's wrong with Substack? Is it just the "Substack hosts fascist blogs so everyone using Substack is fascist by association" thing?
Is that not enough for you?
If I boycotted any platform that hosted shitty people I certainly wouldn't be on Lemmy 😆
Being a Nazi is worse than being an asshole.
🫠 what do you mean "just" fritz?
Complete with an AI slop illustration.
