This is a Nazi’s wet dream, because they have always been enemies of thought, and now they have a machine that eloquently sells their animalistic ideas.

    … Twitter served a similar function, a decade ago, by literally condensing politics into slogans that could fit into a tweet.

    Yeah, LLMs are another level of bad, but… we’ve collectively been at this for a while, stupifying our level and breadth of discourse.

      I would counter that by saying Twitter encouraged people to learn brevity and clarity when communicating their thoughts. LLMs on the other hand encourage a bloated verbosity that no one wants to read. It’s like Corporate Memphis but with words.

        I would counter that with: no, no it did not.

        It just turned people into hypocrites, hypocrites with better marketability.

        Brevity? Maybe, kind of, if you count a barrage of snippets as brief.

        Clarity? … No. Because without a format that fully allows a nuanced but actually coherent and consistent position or explanation… it just makes you into a hypocrite.
