> That we are using LLMs for inflation should not be taken as a criticism of these wonderful tools. It might, however, make us consider why we find ourselves inflating content. At best we’re implicitly rewarding obfuscation and time wasting; at worst we’re allowing a lack of clear thinking to be covered up. I think we’ve all known this to be true, but LLMs allow us to see the full extent of this with our own eyes. Perhaps it will encourage us to change! Yeah, this is the problem. Wealth distribution stopped working sometime in the late 20th century and we're fighting each others for competitive advantages. That's the core of this phenomenon. No one needs containers full of baby sized left shoes, but proof of work must be shown. So the leathers must be cut and shoes must be sewn, only to be left in the ever growing pile in the backyard. That's kind of wrong.
