Wait til AI takes prominence. What effect on intellectualism that might have remains to be seen. As long as LLMs aren't tailored to bias certain views, it may just lift humanity.
I'm already seeing people come into software dev support forums asking "ChatGPT said you could do this but it's not compiling" and people replying that no, that's not possible and them arguing about it because ChatGPT said it.
Once Elon Musk unleashes his "uncensored" AI chat bot, we're going to be flooded with made-up misinformation, it's going to be a bloodbath.
Well I don't have a dog in the AI fight. I did sufficiently couch my comments as a thought experiment. I could have postulated the opposite scenario I suppose. Or none at all. I do see that there are some strong and confident predictions as to the outcomes.
I somehow envy your optimism.
