LLMs can be very useful for my personal life. How can I deal with this in the future?

• the quality highly depends on model, size, internet access, etc.
• They get seemingly more accurate over time

Personally, I can find information within a second. I can ask it which philosopher wrote about "free will" and it'll provide me a good chunk of information that sounds very plausible. Gemini is very impressive from a layman's perspective. llama is worse in this regard but still ok. It may only be good on the surface but I can ask it for the book as well and it'll provide me information. It will get better over time.

Google already knows a lot of stuff and now it will collect even more information about people. I caught myself asking it a philosophical thought of myself.

I was asking the computer. I was not judging an output of it. I was asking to judge my output.

I was asking the computer a philosophical question that has no clear answer. I evaluated the computer's output and was happy it told me that I was right.

I also do maths with a computer. I trust it, it is usually deterministic.

I've also asked it about medical advice, which sounded good.

Today, I wanted to ask it something else, and I was observing that I ask a computer a question. I'd need many minutes, many difficult minutes to think about it. I'd need to research more information, talk to people. But I chose to prompt it.

I realised that I would need to think about this and prompt a community to think about it to exchange information by (hopefully) humans.

Using llms, especially online llms, e.g. google, yield higher quality output than local llms in my experience, hence I'd like to use online llms. But I do not want to give every question I have to google. I do not want all of us giving everything to google. Am I overreacting? Fear of new technology?

It can save me a lot of time. "I could achieve more" by using it. could I really? wouldn't the ai achieve it for me? do i want the achievement anyway? Do I want to get a headstart with ai? I write code for a living. is there a huge difference in writing deterministic code and the probabilistic llm output?

Fear of missing out is kicking in.

I do not want to get left behind but I also do not want to give up my free will.

I do not want to lose my privacy (to google).

I do not want to lose my philosophical maturity, or at least what's left of it.

Fear of missing out is kicking in.
