i think it’s not really a new thing. there are lots of spheres where we can’t easily distinguish high from low quality, education, finance, policy, etc. we have disagreements. 1/

when we decide individually, we can do whatever we do. but when we have to decide as some kind of collectivity, we usually seek some kind of authority, in some cases to help us choose, very often just to bless the choice some party prefers. (think McKinsey.) 2/

it’s that authority, making or blessing which of the infinitely many contradictory arguments the LLM will be happy to make for us, that I think will require a human, one with some kind of social capital that confers authority in the context. /fin
