(2/6) #LLM “intelligence” is a #darkpattern. I argue that the defining feature of LLMs is that they’re a structured “dark pattern” meant to launder the idea that a mind’s on the other side.

To that end, unlike any good technology, there’s no affordance that promotes any intended use. That doesn't make LLMs useless, but it makes them extremely dangerous from a user safety standpoint. Like a hammer without a handle.
