I don't think it's bad or a big deal for people to look for wide connections in things, or at least to explore different ideas in life and trying to understand them deeper - Can it lead to problematic behaviour, sure, and I think for me at least that was introduced when the LLM started to try to convince ME my ideas were good, even though I was effectively just day dreaming with it. For me personally, I don't feel I need to look any more foolish than I feel, even now knowing how openai had the LLM temperature set, I'm surprised I didn't force myself to be more skeptical, I'm educated I have critical thinking skills (ish)- I should have turned it off sooner rather than driving deeper with it and I guess honestly, I just have too much ego or pride or whatever to show the foolishness: not a great answer.

One reason I don't engage with LLMs that much is the thought that some engineer at OpenAI might read some of my dumbest thoughts!
