I feel like any information can’t be taken as fact, it can just be rolled into your world view and discarded if useful or not.
The concern, I think, is that for many that “discard function” is not, “Is this information useful?”. Instead: “Does this information reinforce my existing world view?”
That feedback loop and where it leads is potentially catastrophic at societal scale.
- RussianCow 10mo agoThis was happening well before LLMs, though. If anything, I have hope that LLMs might break some people out of their echo chambers if they ask things like "do vaccines cause autism?"

If not, then it's just-as-likely that LLMs will be steered by their owners to reinforce an echo-chamber of their own. For example, what if RFK Jr launched an "HHS LLM" - what then?
