> People like the output of LLMs so much that ChatGPT is the fastest growing app ever

While people seem to love the output of their own queries they seem to hate the output of other people's queries, so maybe what people actually love is to interact with chatbots.

If people loved LLM outputs in general then Google, OpenAI and Anthropic would be in the business of producing and selling content.

Google does put AI output at the top of every search now, and sometimes it's helpful and sometimes it's crap. They have been trying since long before LLMs to not just provide the links for a search but also the content.

Google used to be interested in making sure you clicked either the paid link or the top link in the results, but for a few years now they'd prefer that a user doesn't even click a link after a search (at least to a non-Google site)

Low effort Youtube shorts with AI voice annoy the crap out of me.

After all this hype, they still can't do text to speech properly. Pause at the wrong part of the sentence all the time.

I think the thing people hate about that is the lack of effort and attention to detail. It’s an incredible enabler for laziness if misused.

If somebody writes a design or a report, you expect that they’ve put in the time and effort to make sure it is correct and well thought out.

If you then find the person actually just had ChatGPT generate it and didn’t put any effort into editing it and checking for correctness, then that is very infuriating.

They are essentially farming out the process of creating the document to AI and farming out the process of reviewing it to their colleagues. So what is their job then, exactly?

These are tools, not a replacement for human thought and work. Maybe someday we can just have ChatGPT serve as an engineer or a lawyer, but certainly not today.

		This is the biggest impact I have noticed in my job. The inundation of verbose, low SNR text and documents. Maybe someone put thought into all of those words. Maybe they vibed it into existence with a single prompt and it’s filled with irrelevant dot points and vague, generic observations. There is no way to know which you’re dealing with until you read it, or can make assumptions based on who wrote it.

Listening or trying to read other peoples chats with these things is like listening to somebody describe a dream. It’s just not that interesting most of the time. It’s remarkable for the person experiencing it but it is deeply personal.

If I cared about the output from other people's queries then wouldn't they be my queries? I don't care about ChatGPTs response to your queries is because I don't care about your queries. I don't care if they came from ChatGPT or the world's foremost expert in whatever your query was about.
