alt Hacker NewsI think it is amazing and it will democratise information. A lot of times the concept ends up being simple with a lot of jargon exists as a gatekeeping method. Well of course the incumbents wouldn't like that rando from outside gets to understand and speak about things they worked on for many years. Sure he doesn't get it right 100% but he's in the correct direction.

Partially true, but only partially. It also makes people believe they understand more than they do, because every answer comes so easily to them. But the LLMs are easily steered and tend to agree with what you want them to say.
Another delusional take.
What exactly have you done with this quote on quote free access to information?
Informational accessibility is/was pretty much a solved problem. What llm’s now do is let amateurs think they can easily become experts.
Awesome, now balance that out will education levels dropping like a rock, due to various factor but also due to LLMs, and things will be balanced out by also democratizing stupidity, until we live in Idiocracy.
I very much doubt it will do that because access to that information was already available to anyone who wanted to know. It was not a secret. All AI did was to provide it via single interface, for a fee - which strangely do not go back to the original source of the knowledge, but to the AI company these days. This is not democratisation of information, it's commodification of it.
