"the level of dopamine i've been getting from interacting with LLMs is not healthy" is such a strange thing to say in the context of using it to help you search for research papers for putting together youtube videos. why is it worded like he is dating chatgpt
The funny thing is this is actually more true for Google search than it is for modern LLMs but these people will tell you to prefer Google search over LLMs.
This is just plain luddite behaviour
If you’re a good researcher you can use it as a web search tool assistant and basically just save time on research you’d have done yourself. It’s not lower quality than going out and doing the same searches manually.
Is people’s understanding of “research using ChatGPT” still that you ask it stuff and it hallucinates you the answer? You do realize that these tools will google stuff and provide links to their sources when they answer a question? There’s nothing credibility destroying here
You know what would help with rare book access? If someone could scan the books and put PDFs online to download.
You know what's not legal in most places?
Copyright terms used to be 14 years in the US. If you hate Anthropic for this, hate Disney >100x more.
people often say that libraries couldn't be invented in the modern day because "who would want to pay taxes to give out free books" but the real answer is that they would not survive the slightest contact with copyright law
Piracy would have allowed AI companies to train their models without destroying rare books, and piracy is how many rare books will survive the AI companies destroying the physical copy to train their models. There is a clear moral to this story for those with the ears to hear it.
the worst part of this is the copyright bullshit that made it necessary. in a better world, libgen would be a public service on par with wikipedia, the anthropic library would be open source, and claude would be able to recite books for me and directly quote source material.
