Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

It was already known that “users with access to GenAI tools produce a less diverse set of outcomes for the same task.”

Why is this portrayed as a bad thing? Correct answers are correct answers. The only thing LLMs typically are bad at, are things that are seldom discussed or have some ambiguity behind them. So long as users understand the limitations of AI and understand when and where to trust them - then why is their diversity in output a bad thing?

Regularly we seek uniformity in output in order to better handle its output in tasks further down. I don't see this as a bad thing at all.

Lol what, how many questions you ask in your life are entirely unambiguous and devoid of nuance? That sounds like a you issue.

Correct answers are correct answers.

So long as users understand the limitations of AI

I have read the paper, how about not immediately jumping to the condescending, patronizing tone?

Also, you didn't answer the question. It simply says "users with access to GenAI tools". You've added your own qualifications separate from the question at hand.

how about you go fuck yourself

The only thing LLMs typically are bad at

is everything. including summarizing research since it’s pretty fucking obvious you didn’t read shit. now fuck off

also, holy fuck their post history is essentially nothing but unsubtle dogwhistles and pro-AI garbage

The condescension and patronisation is well deserved. Your question is answered in the fucking title of the paper.

The Impact of Generative AI on Critical Thinking

If you’d ever engaged in critical thinking, then maybe we could have avoided this exercise.
