I’ve never used any of the LLM chatbots, avoided them even in the early days, because they had all the hallmarks of a major cognitive and psychological hazard from the very beginning.

“I’m not gonna use this shit until I can be sure it won’t mess me or others up” is an entirely reasonable position to take, but for some reason it makes even those who are otherwise lukewarm on the tech quite angry.

@baldur people complaining about the option of using a chatbot, in a sidebar of Firefox, caused me to occasionally experiment with chatbots in the sidebar.

When people make unreasonable demands: the listener will do the opposite of what's demanded.

Human nature.
