Infinite content and LLMs can create filter bubbles but for your self-perception.
- Infinite content and LLMs can create filter bubbles but for your self-perception.
- Not only is it finding the content that makes you feel good about what you already believe,[nr] it's creating things that will make you feel good for what you already believe.
- Imagine telling the LLM, "challenge my assumptions and help me grow."
- The LLM doesn't need to help you grow, it just needs to make you feel like you're growing.
- Growth can be painful, so real users will likely prefer the superficial feeling of growth than actual growth.
- In the limit this can get very dangerous, for example if someone was having a psychotic break in a conversation with an LLM[ns], the LLM might just +1 their delusions.
