> It’s so flammable, right now, too. We talk and then suddenly misunderstand, and the misunderstandings jump from conversation to conversation faster than we can track. No-one is on the same page, because there are no pages — just scrolling and backscrolls.
Is the author's final point that we might use LLMs to help deal with these issues? Perhaps so, but I think instead of asking how to simply cope with it, we might ask ourselves what the underlying reasons are and how to deal with them.
I do agree with them though, in that we often subject ourselves to too much noise, and not enough signal (meaningful, productive conversations and relationships) but what would introducing LLMs really do here? Allow us to more efficiently consume noise, and maybe respond more verbosely to the signal, just resulting in more noise? On the other hand, trying to, for example, build communities where people can develop meaningful connections with people, have substantive conversations, and grow with each other, might produce better results.
