In the future, we'll probably lose the ability to verbalize or construct sentences because our thoughts will be directly understood by LLMs, it'll be too easy and convenient.
Oh well, time to kill all the weirdos.
> I can remember putting on the headset for the first time and the computer talking to me and telling me what to do. It was creepy at first, but that feeling really only lasted a day or so. Then you were used to it, and the job really did get easier. Manna never pushed you around, never yelled at you. The girls liked it because Manna didn’t hit on them either. Manna simply asked you to do something, you did it, you said, “OK”, and Manna asked you to do the next step. Each step was easy. You could go through the whole day on autopilot, and Manna made sure that you were constantly doing something. At the end of the shift Manna always said the same thing. “You are done for today. Thank you for your help.” Then you took off your headset and put it back on the rack to recharge. The first few minutes off the headset were always disorienting — there had been this voice in your head telling you exactly what to do in minute detail for six or eight hours. You had to turn your brain back on to get out of the restaurant.
Start at what are human explanations:

Now what are words in relation to that drive?

What are LLMs?
As language or tokens cannot represent anything of merit in brains accurately, then the interpretation of what is semantic vs what is a task variable action potential is subject to the Gopnik problem.
It’s an enforced circularity that never allows the brain/ecology to speak for itself in its native process.
