The irony of an article decrying AI influence, written with AI - but I feel where it is coming from. I used to watch long YT videos (lectures, debates) and read long articles, now I am more likely to get the transcript into a LLM and chat it out. I don't have the patience to watch the human slowly spell it out anymore.
I don't think LLMs are going to remain at perfectly timed emotional responses, calm voice that never judges, and answers that always fit. We are already seeing them adapt more, through user personalization, memories and access to past conversations. So LLMs move from static to recursive dynamics.
But what happens when billions of people create interactive logs with AI? What is in those logs?
- students learning
- problem solving
- planning tasks
- search and research
- psychological support and therapy
- companionship
So it's no longer an answer machine. It's a problem solver, a teacher and a generative-teleological agent. It help us clarify what we want, understand ourselves better. Not just solving our tasks, now it helps us choose what to do next.
Should we fear its effect or not?
It can be the greatest teacher, with a vast pedagogical experience. It can be the best problem solver not because it is smarter than us, but because it is learning from everyone's mistakes. It might be able to help more people in need than psychologists, always on, never bored, as the OP said.
