It's so ridiculous to make this argument when the people who stand to benefit the most from this technology are the massive corporations that can subsidize the compute and capital costs of this technology. Is it democratization when Google pulls something your wrote on your website then runs it through an LLM so they can serve it directly to a user? You say people see this as a threat to their status but the reality is this is a massive consolidation of the information economy of the internet in the hands of a few corporate interests.
- terminalshort 9mo agoThe people who stand to benefit are you. If I have to pay a lawyer $1000 to review a contract, or spend $10 in tokens, I win. OpenAI may make $9 off of those tokens, or they may make $1. But that doesn't matter at all to me. I care about the $1000 vs $10, not the $9 vs $1.
- chrisjj 9mo agoDoes the quality of the work matter at all to you?
- terminalshort 9mo agoIt certainly does, but that's not guaranteed with humans either. Nor is it the only factor that matters. It's a cost benefit tradeoff. If I am on trial for a crime, obviously I will pay for the quality. If I want to know what some language in a simple contract means, I will ask a LLM.
