It occurred to me today that LLM tools are providing a means of DoSing our time and attention via amplification. A small prompt provides a very large output (paragraphs of slop) that are presented to our minds as pre-LLM articles/images/videos/etc. causing our brains to use up cycles engaging with the material. Multiply this x 100,000 and it's clear that mental exhaustion is inevitable.
