I stumbled upon an article titled rCLLarge Language MuddlerCY,
subtitled rCLItrCOs OK to be a Luddite!rCY, in the magazin named rCLn+1rCY published in Brooklyn, New York, USA, with issue numbered 51,
titled rCLForce MajeurerCY, available online at:
https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-51/the-intellectual-situation/large-language-muddle/
It touches on so many things!
- LLM impact on writers, authors
- LLM impact on teaching at universities
- We need to teach people media literacy: how to avoid becoming
stupid because you ask ChatGPT everything.
- Praise human intelligence not only as more fault-prone, but also
truely positively as creative etc.
- Normatively call out LLM usage as bad for humanity: bad for
climate, for wealth inequality etc.
- and much more!
Even though it mentions Karl Marx and Das Kapital, I wish the
article dived more into how recent developments in AI/LLM show
that we as society/societies must gain democratic control over the
economy, so that we can decide whether we as a society want an AI
that steels creative work of others and rephrases it, while
consuming gigantic amounts of energy, making the ultra-rich
billionaires richer, and information easily fakable and thus
untrustable. Communism/socialism at its heart is about abolishing
the distinction between economy and politics through the means of
councils where people, due to imperative mandate, decide bottom-up
about social life, including the production sphere.
