One of the most aggravating things to me in this world has to be the absolutely rampant anti-intellectualism that dominates so many conversations and debates, and its influence just seems to be expanding. Do you think there will ever actually be a time when this ends? I'd hope so once people become more educated and cultural changes eventually happen, but as of now it honestly infuriates me like few things ever have.

    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.

      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’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.
