Unfortunately I give a shit because I don’t want to have to resort to using an LLM to get an answer to the many obscure questions I have that are rarely answered anywhere else.
I think LLMs are a great tool for searching through lots of information. I just think their monopolization and monolithical mass adoption is bad. The people who run them are bad. The scale at which they do it is bad. The dangers are very real and bad.
But they’re great at sifting through and collating information. Private ones are great. The tech is awesome. The current implementation is problematic. Like we got nuclear energy and atom bombs at the same time. This is that.
Have you noticed the news being watered down too? Like I’m seeing some real news here and there mixed with way more stupid fluff pieces in r /news the past year or 2.
You can’t even find news on reddit anymore. Who gives a shit.

Understandable but resorting to Reddit in its current state (with current leadership) is probably worse

That’s what LLMs are great at. With search MCPs they can quickly look through data and hand you a source to answer your question.
I’m aware and that’s the problem. Using LLMs makes me feel guilty because of the resource waste.
