> So in the current iteration, I think LLMs are a shortcutting tool for experts. I can tell when it spits out a snippet of code that is correct, and when it's wrong. Someone who wasn't working in my domain would get fooled. The real horror is when there's going to be an entire generation that grew up not by relying on experts/historic facts and reality, but on something that AI generated that looks good enough and is a neat answer. Imagine this generation in positions of power over actual experts, or equating AI opinion with the opinion of an older-generation expert. Progress in all of human history has always hinged on our ability to disregard idiots in favor of experts. Now, the position of the idiot is stronger than ever, because anyone can type a prompt into GPT without real understanding. That's the real scary part.
