To an extent that I have yet to clarify for myself, I think LLMs are basically just reflecting all the shit we used to get away with because there was no other solution. Used to be if you had a question about say social etiquette, medication warnings, whatever else, you’d have to ask the internet and invariable a bunch of selfish know-it-alls would come in and chew you out for even daring to ask. Or judging your choices or the reason you’re asking the question. Likewise with teens talking to LLMs instead of their parents, why is it they don’t feel comfortable talking to their parents? Is it really the teen’s fault, or is it the parent’s?
That’s not to say things can’t be different but I think LLMs will definitely change how we approach social situations in the coming years.
