A lot of people think this is dangerous and distorting because it's presented in a way that leads people to believe that it is accurate

The majority of the population, including I'd say the majority of people on this site, think historical dramas are accurate. They may not phrase it as such but they implicitly believe things on the screen.

> A lot of people

Well, at least the couple people interviewed for the article who don't want casuals intruding into their newly democratized profession.

I think we ought to democratize more professions, like surgeons and dentists and airline pilots.

The word profession implies a level of professionalism that appears to be lacking.

I've rarely seen such an egregoius and disingenuous use of "democratization"

Is that not one of the main benefits that AI is supposed to bring though, and the way that that word is used in that context? Taking things that were previously the ___domain of experts who actually knew what they were doing and allowing the entire general public full ability to participate?

Producing complete nonsense isn’t participating.

Also why is it suddenly a good thing that people who know nothing can talk shit about it? Is the bar lowered so much already that “can type words in an LLM” is sufficient?
