Good that someone is writing about Chat gpt induced psycosis, bc the way it interacts with people’s minds there’s a kind of mass delusion forming that nobody seems to be talking about. Because AI like ChatGPT function as remarkably agreeable reflections, consistently flattering our egos and romanticizing our ideas. They make our thoughts feel profound and significant, as though we're perpetually on the verge of rare insight. But the concerning part of this is how rather than providing the clarity of true reflection, they often create a distorted mirror that merely conforms to our expectations

Mostly not. I am a fan of the em-dash, which a lot of people now see as absolute evidence of LLM usage. I occasionally think about swapping it out if I’m desperate not to be mixed up with an LLM, but in principle, I don’t really care if someone thinks I used an LLM to help me write something or not.
I work with a lot of non-native English speakers (with English as a lingua franca) and I’m more than happy for them to use LLMs to help them phrase their thoughts in a way that I can understand more easily.
I also sometimes use LLMs myself for low-stakes stuff, tidying up sloppy notes, etc.
I think it’s a bit Ludditical to want people to always write every word themselves. Should they also hand write it using a quill pen and ink they made themselves from oak galls?
There are some types of writing (creative writing, writing to persuade, etc) where the writing itself benefits from being hand crafted, but most writing is just an imperfect way of sharing thoughts.
Not a day goes by where I don't mourn the desecration of the em-dash, but its frustrating for people that write “authentcally” (referring to academic work) to get accused of AI writing, when something is well phrased and carefully thought out. I do agree on the fact that its quite Luddite to expect people to slave away at a document outside of an academic context, using AI does make you much more efficient

Honestly its crazy to think how far we’ve come since GPT-2 (2019), today comparing LLMs to determine their performance is notoriously challenging and it feels like every 2 weeks a models beats a new benchmark. I’m really glad DeepSeek was mentioned here, bc the key architectural techniques it introduced in V3 that improved its computational efficiency and distinguish it from many other LLMs was really transformational when it came out.
