``` adding an untrusted middleman to your information diet and all of your personal communications will eventually become a disaster that will be obvious in hindsight ```
...seems like it could be said for Google right now.
And I guarantee we all have seen ads generated by an LLM already. The front page of Reddit is filled with LLM posts whose comments are similarly rich with bots.
One common one is an image post of a snarky t-shirt where a high rated comment gives you a link to the storefront. The bots no longer need to recycle old posts and comments which can be easily detected as duplicates when an LLM can freshen it up.
It's like the difference of someone handing out printed tour guides vs an in-person tour guide. It's typically can be easier to tell which are the ads, the extent of the curation, etc. with the printed guide(but not always!). While with the in-person guide you just have to just have to take everything they say at face value since there's no other surrounding information to judge.
I don’t trust LLMs even that far. Is it possible for “agentic AI” to send an email to my competitor with confidential company data attached? Absolutely it’s possible. So no, that statement doesn’t apply to Google as a company nearly as aptly as it applies to an agentic LLM.
My only pet peeve have been fines from eu being too gentle
So, how will that go with LLM tools which start with you already entirely separated from the sources, with no real way to get to them?
