> LLMs activate human social wiring and have a powerful effect
Is this generally true, or is there a subset of people that are particularly susceptible?
It does make me want to dive into the rabbit hole and be convinced by an LLM conversation.
I've got some tendency where I enjoy the idea of deeply screwing with my own mind (even dangerously so to myself (not others)).
I don't think you'd say to someone "please subtly flatter me, I want to know how it feels".
But that's sort of what this is, except it's not even coming from a real person. It's subtle enough that it can be easy not to notice, but still motivate you in a direction that doesn't reflect reality.
