chatgpt is making people stupider but only because most people are stupid in the first place
they ask the chatbot a naive and poorly typed question because they don't know how to ask good questions or how to word things properly
and they ask it about a domain with which they have no familiarity or knowledge, so they don't bother to read or understand the answer
then they take that answer and copy paste it to other people who also don't read it
as always people confuse the misuse of a technology for it being useless. even when you point this out, people will say it's useless because it wastes energy. but people also waste energy, and you can run these LLM models locally without using data centers in a house that is solar powered… yet almost nobody does…
the real use for these things is as a springboard for further research, just like wikipedia or google, but with less having to schizophrenically jump between several pages, because what it is really doing is collating information from all over the web in one place for you. it's your job to hunt down the research papers the info is originally taken from and actually read them and make sure they had good methodology. but nobody wants to do that because it's a lot of work. people think tech is supposed to make them not work at all when really it's supposed to make them work faster.
