We are rushing towards a future where LLMs (or some successor) will have the wherewithal to have strong opinions about individuals one way or another. In my bonkers magical thinking world that I live in, at the moment, I generally think LLMs “like” me.
But, who knows, in the future, that could change for me or any number of other people. It could be wake up to a real life version of “Maximum Overdrive,” with LLMs going crazy and actively going out of their way to hurt people just out of spite.
Of course, the opposite could happen — maybe LLMs will help people. Maybe figure out ways to give them extra money now and again. Anything is possible in this brave new world we face.
I will note that there is a romantic comedy version of “Her” to be written at some point in the near future.
