One of the most aggravating things to me in this world has to be the absolutely rampant anti-intellectualism that dominates so many conversations and debates, and its influence just seems to be expanding. Do you think there will ever actually be a time when this ends? I'd hope so once people become more educated and cultural changes eventually happen, but as of now it honestly infuriates me like few things ever have.

    Well I don’t have a dog in the AI fight. I did sufficiently couch my comments as a thought experiment. I could have postulated the opposite scenario I suppose. Or none at all. I do see that there are some strong and confident predictions as to the outcomes.

      I see what’s already happened so far with LLMs and there is no sign of “uplifting” outside of marketing propaganda.

      Yeah most people don’t “couch ideas as thought experiments” they just say what they think. Although i don’t think anyone replying made a prediction really. We can already see what’s happening and we know that bias is inherent to the entire design of LLMs.
