I'm generally very critical of the idea that people are relying on ai, but the thing I didn't realize in the past and that I see many like me haven't is that the literacy of an average citizen is surprising low. I know people who get very useful life advice from these models. Life advice anyone over 16 should know, but that doesn't matter. This trust people incorrectly put in models means they actually listen. And SOTA models are pretty accurate when it comes to common sense. Most of the time. So it actually works out.
I still get very anxious at the idea of people relying on llms though. It just works out more often than we think.

We should all be anxious about technology which is almost guaranteed to turn into metaphorical mind control. Some day these systems will be turned into highly personalized and effective brainwashing machines and topple our supposed democracies overnight. The more people trust them and rely on them, the easier it gets.
