This is a reality as most people will abandon those skills, and many more will never learn them to begin with. I'm actually very worried about children who will grow up learning to communicate with AI and being dependent on it to effectively communicate with people and navigate the world, potentially needing AI as a communication assistant/translator.

AI is patient, always available, predicts desires and effectively assumes intent. If I type a sentence with spelling mistakes, chatgpt knows what I meant 99% of the time. This will mean children don't need to spell or structure sentences correctly to effectively communicate with AI, which means they don't need to think in a way other human being can understand, as long as an AI does. The more time kids spend with AI, the less developed their communication skills will be with people. GenZ and GenA already exhibit these issues without AI. Most people go experience this communicating across generations, as language and culture context changes. This will emphasize those differences to a problematic degree.

Kids will learn to communicate will people and with AI, but those two styles with be radically different. AI communication will be lazy, saying only enough for AI to understand. With communication history, which is inevitable tbh, and AI improving every day, it can develop a unique communication style for each child, what's amounts to a personal language only the child and AI can understand. AI may learn to understand a child better than their parents do and make the child dependent on AI to effectively communicate, creating a corporate filter of communication between human being. The implications of this kind of dependency are terrifying. Your own kid talks to you through an AI translator, their teachers, friends, all their relationships could be impacted.

I have absolutely zero beleif that the private interests of these technology owners will benefit anyone other than themselves and at the expense of human freedom.

I know someone who very likely had ChatGPT write an apology for them once. Blew my mind.

We're in a post truth world where most web searches about important topics give you bullshit answers. But LLMs have read basically all the articles already and has at least the potential make deductions and associations about it - like this belongs to "propaganda network 4335". Or "the source of this claim is someone who has engaged in deception before". Something like a complex fact check machine.

This is sci-fi currently because it's an ocean wide but can't think deeply or analyze well, but if you press GPT about something it can give you different "perspectives". The next generations might become more useful in this in filtering out fake propaganda. So you might get answers that are sourced and referenced and which can also reference or dispute wrong answers / talking points and their motivation. And possibly what emotional manipulation and logical fallacies they use to deceive you.

This is your reminder that LLMs are associative models. They produce things that look like other things. If you ask a question, it will produce something that looks like the right answer. It might even BE the right answer, but LLMs care only about looks, not facts.

Oh look, it's the LLMentalist o'clock!

A lot of people really hate uncertainty and just want an answer. They do not care much if the answer is right or not. Being certain is more important than being correct.

Yeah, I don't get the people who think it'll replace your brain. I find it useful for learning even if it's not always entirely correct but that's why I use my brain too. Even if it gets me 60% of the way there, that's useful.

You should try this thing, its pretty neat, just press maya or miles. Though it requires a microphone so you may have to open it on your phone.

Using it for porn sounds funny to me given the whole concept of "rule 34" being pretty ubiquitous. If it exists, there's porn of it! Like even from a completely pragmatic prespective, it sounds like generating pictures of cats. Surely there is a never ending ocean of cat pictures which you can search and refine, do you really need to bring a hallucination machine into the mix? Maybe your friend has an extremely specific fetish list that nothing else will scratch? That's all I can think of.

Hmm, I find chatGPT is pretty decent at very basic techsupport asked with the correct jargon. Like "How do I add a custom string to cell formatting in excel".

It absolutely sucks for anything specific, or asked with the wrong jargon.
