No. For all the memes and fake nonsense, LLMs still give access to a swath of knowledge at a degree easier to access. The current kids using LLMs for questions are probably going to be quite a bit smarter than us
What are you talking about?
Hallucinations in LLMs are so common that you basically can't trust them with anything they tell you.
And if I have to fact-check everything an LLM spits out, I need to to the manual research anyways.
I don't really think that's a bad thing when you really think about it. Teaching kids "No matter how confident someone is about what they tell you, it's a good idea to double check the facts" doesn't seem like the worst thing to teach them.
I believe there's a better way to teach people that without consuming the electricity of a small country.
Maybe it will teach critical thinking and less trust in accepting the status quo.
Yea that didn't happen either when people were warned about false information online...
Like the picture?
Eh, I have serious reservations about this. Not everyone using them will double check stuff that doesn't sound quite right, and LLMs may often say shit that's very wrong, but doesn't look wrong, especially to someone who doesn't know a thing about the topic.
