LLMs are already doing fascists a favor by ensuring that anything that is reasonably eloquently worded on social media is automatically suspected of having been written by LLMs. (lemmy.world)

This is a Nazi's wet dream, because they have always been enemies of thought, and now they have a machine that eloquently sells their animalistic ideas.

... Twitter served a similar function, a decade ago, by literally condensing politics into slogans that could fit into a tweet.

Yeah, LLMs are another level of bad, but... we've collectively been at this for a while, stupifying our level and breadth of discourse.

    I would counter that by saying Twitter encouraged people to learn brevity and clarity when communicating their thoughts. LLMs on the other hand encourage a bloated verbosity that no one wants to read. It’s like Corporate Memphis but with words.

    I would counter that with: no, no it did not.

    It just turned people into hypocrites, hypocrites with better marketability.

    Brevity? Maybe, kind of, if you count a barrage of snippets as brief.

    Clarity? ... No. Because without a format that fully allows a nuanced but actually coherent and consistent position or explanation... it just makes you into a hypocrite.

    I remember when Twitter was juuust gaining popularity and someone explained what it was to me. I was really confused. "Why would I post to a platform with a character limit??" Like I couldn't wrap my head around that self-imposed limitation.

    By the time I saw/heard people writing whole essays and breaking them into 20 posts I was just like.. why would you subject yourself to this? Blogs exist, go back to them.
