Also I don’t think it’s fair to compare using LLMs to do your work for you (AKA burdening your coworkers with part of your workload because they will have to point out your garbage) is the same as “Counterfeits to human connection“.
At work I’m not trying to connect with people on any more level than just being on the same level as to what we are working on. Maybe on break but while deep-working I just want the information necessary to do the job, the communication being there to communicate the information, efficiently.
If you outsource your sending of communication to SlopBot and I outsource my reading of said communication to another SlopBot to summarize or whatbeit we are adding so much noise it’s just more fucking work.
It’s not the same as pornography, I think it’s an odd thing to compare it to. Yes you _can_ replace “human connection” with pornography but this is human connection that is not required for things like your job ((i hope, haha)). You need to communicate information and people outsourcing their writing to LLMs is just adding extra fuzz for the people having to work with said information.
It’s a nice blogpost, the pornography comparison is just out of place.

The problem is that we are slowly be pushed to become cogs who only really think this way. We shouldn't just want to be the most efficient possible. Technology already reduces the ability for us to connect, which is why connections at work seem weird or shallow in the first place. We simply don't need each other as much, so it makes sense that AI seems like the next logical step.
Your sentiments are just your instinctual desire to move to the next local maximum in a sequence of descending maxima that lead to the bottom.
