This topic bums me out, because the kneejerk reaction to a firehouse of quasi-information is reverting to a model of "trusted sources." Which usually means: sources which other people seem to trust.
The information nodes become centralized, DYOR becomes a potential hazard, and the climb is steep for fresh contributors to gain enough clout to break through the filter.
It at least feels easy to spot llm content now, so most people aren't retreating into closed circles just yet - but it seems like the direction we're headed.
I wonder if llm's could produce content that doesn't have those "crucially wrong" bits, how comfortable would people be knowingly consuming it then? Is it truly the potential errors, presented with certainty, that creep people out? Or something deeper?
Humans are still the most abundant and confident source of "mostly right, but crucially wrong" information. So to me, llm's have just further surfaced some of the challenges which arise when everyone has a printing press and distribution.
I don't see the dust settling on this issue in my lifetime.
Anyone seen @nemo? Did @darthcoin finally take him round the back of the woodshed?
