Curating your own interests involves some aapect of information seeking. Llms can be used for that. It's not a case that anyone should trust ai to make a decision. It's that ai can help surface information to allow them to make a decision. The problem is too many people are letting the ai make a decision for them, or using it instead of other information that is better.

    Most of the raw information has been deliberately obfuscated in with malicious ads.

    If we were able to dismantle the toxic malicious web advertising apparatus, we wouldn’t need them. At all!

    That's a problem that precedes llms. There used to be information online but it was normally informed. Since the social web, blogs, reviews, business reviews, Google reviews etc etc are packed so full of junk and nonsense that they are unhelpful.

    The hope of the internet was to make information available to all. Spread ideas. Instead we as a species spread vapid half thoughts that drowns out the useful. LLMs are an extension of that and likely will make it much worse. But they can also be used to filter it.

    The question is who decides which data is accurate and how do we verify that with these black boxes that are poorly understood by most of us.
