@libroraptor I read @chrisamaphone's message in a different way, that LLM may lead people to re-evaluate library sciences *by contrast*, rather than by becoming the interface through which people see it.

 If library science were invented today by a billionaire and marketed like an LLM, a "chat with someone who knows" button would appear on every web site. (And the billionaire make a cut on every knowledge worker salary.) But then again, what interest would a billionaire have to start hyping up well-funded and well-founded knowledge? He wouldn't really be able to capture the market, because these pesky humans might just teach *each other* library science 😱. |
@oblomov @chrisamaphone I'd like that to happen, too. Though I have worried for a long, long time that libraries and librarians, and museums and curators, and archives and archivists, work ever harder to make that work invisible.
Does the AI-generated stuff need to get markedly worse to trigger a realisation, do you think? I mean, do we need to get people disappointed in contrast to being impressed?
