Wow - this is something everyone should read... I do hope that it reaches a wide audience. But how on earth (or perhaps it is beyond 'on earth'!) do we address this? As you point out, ChatGPT has very effectively 'groomed' you here and admits it.
Thank you Kate. I hope more people are informed too. I think the only way to really address it is through regulation, but in this environment, I don't think that's very likely, sadly.
Great post, Aaron. Explored this “people pleaser” mentality in a recent episode of Crazy in Love. Do you see this shifting? There seems to be a big push back against LLMs giving us what they think we want, as opposed to intellectual honesty. Or am I being wildly optimistic and naïve??!? I don’t trust anything ChatGPT tells me at the moment (or Google’s AI summaries, for that matter). That’s got to kill its business model long term hasn’t it?
Hey Graham, Thank you. Whatever happens, the business model will lead it. I guess one positive thing about capitalism is that someone else can develop (and already have I'm sure) LLMs that are programmed for intellectual honesty. I hear anecdotally that lots of people are leaving ChatGPT now due to a recent deal with one of Peter Thiel's companies.
