Jim StormdancerI'm actually optimistic that the generation of kids who grow up with LLMs will internalize the lesson that confident authority has absolutely no correlation with competence or correctness. That's a world I'd love to live in.
chuckadeus kummerer@mogwai_poet then again the correlation wasn't there before LLMs and AFAICS very few got the memo
GeofCoxMany years ago there was a 'reality TV' programme which involved a group finding their way across an island. At one point there was disagreement about the right direction. Several participants worked out the right way, but most were unsure. One, however, argued strongly for an alternative (wrong) route - and ended by saying 'Well I'm going this way' and simply went. Some of the group followed, then others, clearly torn, gradually did so too - until finally even those who were sure it was the wrong direction followed.

@GeofCox Hello, do you remember which reality show that was, and when?
I think it was this one - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castaway_2000 - but not absolutely sure.
@GeofCox Thank you.
Trannus🇻🇪🇵🇸🇺🇦🇮🇷Aran@mogwai_poet certainly the fact that "AI-generated" still firmly means "shit quality hand-waving as something passable" gives me some hope in that regard

Sol Schmidt@mogwai_poet I fear they'll get too much used to being right https://hachyderm.io/@schmidt/114624183477151290

It’s worrying how little we talk about the psychological mechanics of ChatGPT & co. These chats simulate a comfort zone to make users *feel* good - breeding a self-satisfied echo chamber. We're raising a new generation of even higher-level ego-people.
Daniel M Karlsson@mogwai_poet This is a very nice thought. Thank you for sharing.
MFDoomer@mogwai_poet I have heard that some young folks are inoculated to the nonsense of social media. but from the just leaving school generation so not full e-kids.
my concern is that the effect will compound, we've got a few generations now where cumulative effects are probably not well studied in terms of development phases pre-school - early school - high school - adult:
older: analog - analog - analog - internet
mid: analog - analog - internet - AI
youngest: internet - internet - AI - AI+??
Dibs@mogwai_poet I had Co-Pilot contradicting itself with complete confidence the other day.
lord pthenq1"De hecho, soy optimista de que la generación de jóvenes que crezcan con una maestría en Derecho asimilará la lección de que la autoridad segura no tiene ninguna correlación con la competencia ni la corrección. Me encantaría vivir en ese mundo."
⁂ Fish Id Wardrobe@mogwai_poet that's a happy thought! hope so!
