Comment on LLMorphism: When humans come to see themselves as language models

Comments

I’m not moved by the argument’s premise in any way. Humans who think they’re toasters. Meh.

I’m more curious about the influence of human language looped back to the human mind via llm—shall we start to mimic llm’s?

At my workplace we’re encouraged to use llm’s when communicating outside. And considering the content and context of these are mostly simple logical arguments, why not?

Interesting that humans mimicking other humans adopt language patterns for their effects. Whereas humans using llm’s might not adopt language patterns from the llm, because…? We’re not really reading? Because some element of cognitive reinforcement is missing when you simply scan an llm production and send it on (with little internalization)?

But what’s really the tell… haha
