The Age of Pluribus: One Consultant for Everyone
ai
Per a post on LessWrong, millions now consult the same large language models for personal advice — raising a troubling question about what happens when the population shares one consultant. The essay uses the analogy of Pluribus, an Apple TV show where humanity joins a collective consciousness, to explore the risks: people seek AI approval before acting, the population's output converges toward the same style and ideas, and millions inherit the model's embedded values without ever choosing them. The author argues that AI should amplify our thinking without homogenizing it, and that deliberate practices—not avoidance—are key to keeping us critical.
