But there’s something else in our lives which is responsible for a large and steadily increasing share of public knowledge production, and which also has no organic reality-detection capability, and that’s the large language model. This is central to what we mean when we argue that LLMs destroy knowledge: that for every verifiably accurate account of the world, LLMs produce a Borgesian library of superficially plausible alternates – sufficiently plausible that effort and energy must be invested

“In 1941 book, Escape from Freedom, German psychoanalyst Erich Fromm argued that the rise of fascism could partly be explained by people preferring to surrender freedom in exchange for reassuring certainty of subordination. AI-LLM (produces information but without necessarily deepening human understanding) offers new way to surrender burden to think & decide for yourself.”
