Its already a dumpster fire, right? LLMs might be generating burning garbage, but if they do so more cheaply than the burning garbage generated by humans then maybe its still a win??
I mean, ok?
Yeah I think uncritically reading a 2 sentence summary-gloss from a medium or low traffic wiki page and regurgitating it without citing your source is comparably bad to covertly including LLM paragraphs.
As I mentioned elsewhere in the comments, the OP is centrally about good discourse in general, and LLMs are only the most obvious foil (and something I had a rant in me about).
And I could say “I asked Grok and didn’t do any fact checking, but maybe it helps you to know that he said: <copypasta>” and the attribution/plagiarism concerns would be solved.
I mean, ok, but I might want to block you, because I might pretty easily come to believe that you aren’t well-calibrated about when that’s useful. I think it is fairly similar to googling something for me; it definitely COULD be helpful, but could also be annoying. Like, maybe you have that one friend / acquaintance who knows you’ve worked on “something involving AI” and sends you articles about, like, datacenter water usage or [insert thing only the slightest bit related to what you care about] or something, asking “So what about this??” and you might care about them and not be rude or judgemental but it is still them injecting a bit of noise, if you see what I mean.
