“How” as in “what tool” is a different “how” as in “with what intent”. LLM was used to produce a bunch of arguments supporting a pre-intended outcome. Doesn’t matter much whether it was a machine or a human (and whether it was “expert” himself or a ghostwriter), but it does matter - a lot - how the outcome was the pre-selected and the task was to cherry-pick the facts to support it.
- Terr_ 1mo ago> LLM was used to produce a bunch of arguments [...] Doesn’t matter much whether it was a machine or a human (and whether it was “expert” himself or a ghostwriter) Even ignoring the intent-issue, the process used matters because we don't just care about whether each argument is individually true, we care about which arguments and claims appear at all. Do we trust that the LLM-brain is just as good at bringing up relevant issues as the brain of a human (real) expert? Like the blind men and the elephant [0]: They're not wrong that there one part is like a rope, and one part is like a spear, and one part is like a fan, etc... But we'd vastly prefer "this is a large land mammal". [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_men_and_an_elephant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_men_and_an_elephant
