Hi @stuartathompson.bsky.social, I'm reading your article www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/t... and I'm interested in learning more about the influence of AI in the Romanian election. I'm struggling to find sources that discuss AI influence beyond the role of the TikTok algorithm. Can you help clarify ?

This was a very enjoyable and engaging read. There is a striking similarity between these Erasmian exercises and LLM content. Though I think the overall point is less grand than the prose suggests
If we want to better understand large language models, and what they are and aren’t capable of, we can look at earlier versions of the same technology – like Erasmian humanism
Who needs AI text-generation when there’s Erasmus of Rotterdam | Aeon Essays
Like today’s large language models, 16th-century humanists had techniques to automate writing – to the detriment of novelty

I wanted to reply snidely to this post, since the same could be said of so many technologies. But I think I wouldn’t feel great if I was helping build generative AI right now…
I hope everyone working on LLMs has reckoned with their role in building a technology that, so far, has offered little to no benefit to humanity — while causing real harm by degrading art, undermining labor in creative industries, and straight up automating political propaganda

I think that, while there are occasional instances of surprising naivety toward the outputs of LLMs, people have a general, growing sense of their capabilities. I don't see any reason to think that people are fundamentally incapable of healthy skepticism toward LLMs
also people still don’t know that they make shit up and we are not culturally prepared in the least for a Computer That Lies
LLMs are fascinating technology objects that i love to think about and every time i encounter them in the real world i realize that they suck and they're making the world worse

It’s extremely unclear to me why this article makes everyone so angry. It portrays right wing pronatalists as freaks and suggests tame social democratic family policy as an alternative.
