Like nobody has 10 favorite teachers.

Nobody has a whole load of famous teachers.

It's usually one.

It's oftentimes a woman, which is because elementary education was sort of biased to more female.

But I find that interesting.

What did that teacher do?

What did she do for you?

She got you.

She got you.

She delivered information in a way that was tuned to the creative frequency of your brain.

And I think that's something we have to consider.

So did the teacher rob your intelligence by pandering to your proclivities or insecurities?

I don't think so.

Now, that being said, we have to recognize that the nature of large language models are such that they kind of get from point A to point B. In other words, from question to answer, they go right to that point.

They do the thinking for us.

And that's a very dangerous situation that I've written extensively about.

So what happens when you go, when answers become instant, right?

What is actually happening between point A and point B, that cognitive path, right?

Well, it's the stumbles, it's the falls, it's the controversy, it's the pauses of contemplation that occur.

So what I think is happening is that we go from point A to point B with a large language model, and we miss what's between the two points.
