Being serious though, this cognitive offload issue with LLMs reminds me a lot of when GPS navigation became mainstream, and people would just trust it and decide to take extremely ill-advised “roads” and drive off bridges and into swamps and so on.
I feel like LLM cognitive offload is going to be an extremely serious issue in the coming years, especially for younger people growing up with this stuff.
And it can be soooooo much more widespread than GPS, with a way more impossible task of becoming reliable.
Totally agree, it’s pretty worrysome to offload your thinking to an LLM
Worst thing about this shit was learning how few actual people there were.
Did people stop trusting GPS off bridges, or is it just no longer newsworthy?
No and kinda? It still happens all the time, and it still gets news coverage, but it’s not as widespread news coverage as before, tends to be more in the local/regional news than widely shared (inter-)nationally. I did a quick search and many stories from the last few years.
They should try this. There’s so much evidence that this is plausible.
