    The automobile has been a net benefit to society dosent stop Daren going 80 in a 50 zone ( 30 during school hours ). I feel like LLMs are largely the same. They are useful and can do good things, but they can also be used to do totaly inane shit… Dont be Daren.

      The automobile has been a net benefit to society

      Automobiles are also in practice quite harmful to public health because their addictive and user-lock-in effects and the resulting total lack of exercise. US Americans are mostly not aware of that because the notion to walk half an hour to get somewhere is already completely alien to them. Like somebody who first drinks two bottles of beer in the morning, in order to barely function, can possibly not understand that somebody can just drink whater when they are thirsty.

      AI as it is forced on people today will probably be worse for both critical thinking, and social cognitive abilities.
