On a completely unrelated matter -- without doubt, Defense Departments around the world are spending tons on military applications of large language models. Is there anything to be found here? I can't think of anything but I know zero about the field. Speculations, anyone??
"Galactica’s problem goes deeper because sounding “right” and “authoritative” would make anyone who doesn’t have prior formation on a topic believe with illusory certainty that the newly acquired (flawed) knowledge is true." - this can easily be applied to teachers for example :(
AI like the internet is a magnifier of Humans logic & behaviour, and there will always be place to subjective POVs.
It's not the AI fault or the fault of the team behind it, that US take for granted their outputs. It's on US to be self-aware and open minded (like when reading books).
Perhaps a simpler speculation might be what is going to happen to the enormous field of virtual
sex. There are maybe thousands of young men and women out there selling pictures or videos of themselves or real time video displays. It certainly looks as though this field will be in a serious situation by this time next year. And probably before. There might be a business model left in selling prompts, but it will be much smaller. What are the implications? Will physical sex working experience a significant labor surge??
Thanks Phil! (I've seen all your other comments, thanks for the overwhelming interest in my articles! I'll try to answer everything)
"What if Galactica did work very well?" This is an intriguing thought experiment (I don't see Galactica succeeding, but I can imagine future AIs doing so). Maybe I could explore those types of counter-intuitive thought experiments in future articles...

I don't know either, but it's an interesting topic to research about...
Love, love, love this image of the galaxy in a book.

Loved the essay, thx! :)
