Which raises the question: if everything is generated, why bother reading it at all? Just ask the LLM what you want to know—why treat headlines like bookmarks?

One interesting thing about the LLM era is it really highlights what things in life actually add value.
how so, any examples
I haven’t had that experience at all. My experience is that if you allow people to be lazy they will be, at the expense of society.
What has your experience been like?
exactly what we're trending towards.
You can use the LLM, but you don't also have the rest of the data they relied on. A LLM can generate everything if it starts from a minimal prompt, but this is a recipe for slop. If you come with materials, discuss them, their implications, express your POV and then generate, the article will reflect your ideas and the data if was fed.
I know it is fashionable to put everything a LLM outputs in the slop box, but I don't think it reflects reality.

Then the LLM can still make shit up and be absolutely wrong.
