Raw LLM Responses

I'm at a stage with AI where I'm thinking it's got a higher floor than 'internet.' That is, if young men go to chatGPT for life advice or medical advice... that's better than what many of them are doing now. Same with all demos. Less andrew Tate, Less RFK Jr., less anti-vax, less racism, etc. Now of course optimally you've got critical thinkers engaged with high level texts ,yada yada yada. But most of the 'omg can you believe AI is doing this' ... is something TikTok etc. is already doing, and doing far worse. People worry about critical thinking atrophying - like, for one, we don't know that's an actual result of what happens when you engage with AI - it's more literate than most of the dopamine slop people spend their days scrolling through. For two, bros the critical thinking left the barn a long time ago, and at least if you're talking with ChatGPT you'll get general good advice. It's not to say that there's nothing to be worried about here, but caterwauling doesn't make sense to me when \*gestures broadly to the rise of conspiracy theories. ChatGPT has better information literacy than a lot of the most influential people in media and on the planet. Better to get advice from Joe Rogan, RFK Jr., or ChatGPT?
