The thing is, when you used to Google something, you used to get 15, 20 sites that spoke about this particular thing that you Googled from different angles.

There was multiple natures to truth.

There was your truth and there was my truth and we could have a discussion and we could agree to disagree and we could reach a compromise and all of that.

A big part of what large language models are leading today is singularity, right?

We are actually all somehow kind of going to one way of doing things.

There's only one truth, right?

Which is what the models tend to go towards.

So the models drift, right?

And then after a while you start, you know, asking your questions and then you come up with solutions and you kindly put them on the internet and I kindly put my information on the internet.

And then also the data on the internet starts to drift, right?

So we start contaminating the information for that we built as humans over

thousands of years, right?

Because we're all using the same models and leading towards singularity.

And that's a major problem because we don't continue to be as creative and innovative if we don't see things differently.

And a big part of what we teach our children and our students and what we keep talking about is diversity, right?

The beauty of diversity, the beauty of having different opinions about the same thing.

With models all programmed in the same way, working with the same information, being asked the same questions, coming to exactly the same results, what happens to diversity?

What happens to the bias that's in the data when the models inherit it and societies become even more biased?

See, diversity isn't something nice to have.

Diversity isn't a legal requirement.
