- fleebee 1y agoNot everyone has a deep understanding of LLMs or the self-control to avoid the temptation of off-loading thinking to one. Many people are desperate enough to look to LLMs for medical advice or even friendship[0]. As workplaces and schools partner with Big Tech[1], LLM interfaces have already become embedded in everyday life as something you can't ignore. There are no guardrails to LLMs. They remove friction from tasks that used to require critical thinking. We're constantly pressured into using them. I think only blaming the end-user is naive.
