@alex@dair-community.social I've had similar, exponentially less well-articulated thoughts. Thank you for this. Brilliant. People need to look beyond all the other horrible stuff LLMs/generative AI are doing and realize that even if we resolved all that, the exploitative nature and cognitive surrender still remains, and that cannot be resolved in the global environment we have today.

@alex@dair-community.social With respect to Kai Decker's observations: The fact that "Do I allow them to record me?" is used with reference to a software notetaking app, a process that does not record, but rather provides commentary upon and then discards the original speech, is frankly astounding. "Where does the data go?" Digital or even analog recorders are still a thing. The data goes nowhere but the device. But that would entail the friction of carrying a separate device. Or even purchasing such a device in a market that obfuscates anything but the newfangled. This, in turn, entailing a "mental model of how you think the world works" that doesn't rest frictionlessly within the immediately convenient and immanently conventional. 1/4
