Not really true.

LLM valuation in the market is aimed at several things, making unskilled people appear skilled is the smallest of them.

The most valuable position in the market right now is as a substitute of search enginesm

The second most valuable position in the market is as a tool to speed up work for already skilled people.

And I would argue that the third most valuable position in the market is a bot tool to substitute human iteration.

Unskilled people doing slop might be the most visible face of AI as it's very annoying but it's a minority of it's market, just a very loud minority.

    I perceive them as having equal value. In each case the technology is forced on users in a top-down way and results in worse outcomes.

    I don't expect you'll agree; that's not the same as what I wrote being "Not really true."

    I partially agree. If forced by stupid management results would clearly be worse.

    Also people using LLM as search engines have a lot to do with internet entshitification. Surfing the web have become so obnoxious that asking an LLM the answer to something is easier.

    This have two obvious conclusions from my point of view. First is that the best scenario would be a not entshitified internet. Second is that when LLMs, specially the big ones owned by big companies, get their dose of entshitification, users will be back on square one of not having a good way of extracting information out of this massive sea of information that we have built and which should be much easier to navigate.
