Lucy Chen @lucychen.com · 20/03/2025100%! Another way of putting it: understanding the "why" behind human behavior requires empathy and the ability to draw lateral connections, which LLMs are not capable of deriving on their own. They can approximate it, but only in a shallow sense, which means missing the crucial deeper insight 010
Lucy Chen @lucychen.com · 18/03/2025I'm so over the amount of unnecessary personification people give to LLMs. Guys, it's not a person, it's a TOOL. 🤦🏻♀️ Tech companies benefit from acting as though LLMs have their own agency, bias, feelings, independence, etc b/c it lets them deflect responsibility. Don't fall for it! 041
Lucy Chen @lucychen.com · 12/03/2025Listening to the Acquired podcast on and off, I really wish they'd apply more criticality to their research vs relying solely on company-provided sources.
