LLMs don't have their ego wrapped up in any given lens.
- LLMs don't have their ego wrapped up in any given lens.[aoy]
- They don't have an ego in the first place!
- Often, when there's a lens that is very tied to our identity, it is hard to put it down.
- It's intertwined with our ego.
- Imagine for example an economics professor, and how tightly they'd hold to the lens that they studied and wrote papers on.
- When debating a problem, it's hard to know which lenses will be most useful to use.
- When some of the debaters have their ego intertwined with their lens, it's hard to know if the lens is actually useful in this context… or if it would merely be damaging to their ego to put it down.
- But when you explore ideas with an LLM, it has no ego connected to any lens.
- LLMs are happy to put on different lenses whenever you want.
