alt Hacker NewsWhat is most troubling for me is seeing kids just switch off when LLMs are available. Doing homework they will have zero interpretation or contemplation, just enter the question as a prompt and record the result. LLMs appear to have the ability to interfere with the most basic aspects of attention and executive function.
That’s got nothing to do with llm’s and it’s got nothing go do with ‘how technology is used’.
I’m not even sure why this has to be said.
Universal fact 1) most people lack the self discipline to choose what really benefits them and takes care of their well being. We already know this - obesity rates, excessive screen time etc.
The solution is to control the actions of people. But most of you ain’t ready for that conversation.
