the “weird cults” are now in your pocket and with you 24/7. I would argue that the negative effect of LLMs (and their masters) on society potentially runs much deeper than your comment suggests.
This is almost word for word what’s been said about every new technology or social trend for my entire life. “This new thing is worse than everything that has ever come before and the Apocalypse is nigh.”
Sorry. After hearing this over and over and over and over again all my life I just don’t take this kind of moral panic seriously.
Sure you don’t have to, my point was merely with the right browser and some extensions you can just browse the web. no paywalls, data stealing privacy banners, hundreds of tracking cookies and so forth, no haggling with acceptance dialogs, just use the Internet.
Weird cults victimizing people are literally prehistoric in age. It’s a bit “hue and cry”-ish to go into a moral panic over “AI cults”.
There’s plenty to criticize in modern “AI” (beginning with “it doesn’t work”). Let’s not make stupid reasons up!

[greater than the] sum of the parts, my friend.
Did you read the article?
The paywalled one?
firefox and the noscript extension should get you the article. consider running noscript anyway for internet hygiene reasons.
Or I can ignore walled gardens. Which is what I do.
And then you wade into discussions about articles you claim to ignore. I read it just fine without paywall notifications, so joke’s on you I guess?
What does this look like to you, Sparky?:
Same as before. Looks like you insist on being part of a conversation you don’t care to read up on.
The name calling is a nice touch, that’s all I needed to just block you.
Rolling stone is selective about who they show the paywall to. I didn’t get it but my gf did. No idea why.
I find it much more satisfying to break into those walled gardens than to concede to their demand of either giving up my data or not getting it.
You be you. I’ll be me. I find “endless struggle” a boringly tedious and draining way to live. Not for me to choose for you. Nor vice versa.

But as you said, you do you
