OK I am bracing for the downvotes..

What about when the llm is smarter than the person? Sometimes I get material that is so bad I wish they had had AI do it. Then it would be poor to mediocre.

There was an episode of the podcast “Question Everything “ where they talked about how LLM s can sometimes talk people out of conspiracy theories by patiently refuting the arguments with facts. There have been academic studies on this.

I think people hate AI because it is often mediocre and flawed but sometimes it’s replacing humans that are inept.

If the LLM is smarter than the person, the person cannot look at the output and judge to see whether it is correct.

I thought it was pretty well-established that conspiracists aren't deterred with facts, and that their commitments to the conspiracy theory are essentially emotional and/or in-group identitarian?
