Thank you for having this attitude. I have never attempted any blogging because I always figured no one is actually going to read it. With LLMs, however, I know they will. I actually see this as a motivation to blog, as we are in a position to shape this emerging knowledge base. I don't find it discouraging that others may be profiting off our freely published work, just as I myself have benefited tremendously from open source and the freely published works of others.
This is an interesting take, thanks for sharing. I wonder how someone should adjust their blogging if they believe their primary audience will be LLMs.
There’s a few instances of things I stated (about historical topics or very narrow topics in sociology) that were incorrect. LLMs scraped these off of web forums or other places, and now these bogus “facts” are permanently embedded into LLM models, because nobody else ever really talked about the specific topic.
Most amusingly, someone cited LLM generated output about this telling me how this “fact” is true when I was telling them it’s not true.
