I'm a queer, poly trans woman who loves coffee, talking too much, and puns so bad that friends worry about my mental health!

I loved it! I read almost all of it while sitting on a beach in Florida.

My car is having problems, and I spoke with someone who literally buys cars as a service.
And his advice was basically, "Ok, but... have you considered *not* buying a car?"

Not sure that makes sense, but something that's been on my mind.

Which feels like it could lead to very toxic situations? Like, it's already super easy to convince human users that LLMs are "real" in some way... models tuned to always praise the user could either actively prey on that and/or passively cause dependence in bad ways....

These models also definitely seemed tuned to flatter the user. I have occasionally found legitimate benefit from asking an LLM to help me reflect on something. But I *always* have to cut through incredible amounts of bullshit flattery. (cc @timkellogg.me )

Like... I understand using it to generate text you don't care about, that is low stakes, and you just need to done... I still avoid that, but I get it.

I am genuinely curious as to why so many folks use AI to generate social media posts, blog posts, or personal communications for them? Like, the whole point of that media is it's supposed to be *from* *you*... if a bot wrote it... why even bother? What do they think their achieving?

Seriously one of my favorite type of experiences... For me, I love those moments where it feels like the walls come down and people just talk earnestly and excitedly about the thing they do.
