I’ve received some positive reception on this post from people who are both quite pro-AI as well as skeptics. I think people are starting to come around to the idea that LLMs are best treated as tools and not magic work machines.

I think I’m especially interested in this sort of speedrun that is happening - the Kant quote I start the piece with refers to Sapere Aude as the motto of the enlightenment. But back then there certainly weren’t computers that could convince you of things. Or even fast or easy access to information.

I think we’ll see a new Age of Enlightenment, albeit not likely on the scale of 150 years, where there is a return to the value of individual reasoning. Rather than kings and lords and religious leaders be the mandates we break free from, it’ll be the machines.
