Large Language Models Humanize Technology

Understand

Large Language Models (LLMs) have made rapid progress in recent months and weeks, garnering significant public attention.

• This has sparked concerns about aligning these models with human values, their impact on labor markets, and the potential need for regulation in further research and development.
• However, the discourse often lacks a focus on the imperative to widely diffuse the societal benefits of LLMs.
• To qualify this societal benefit, we assert that LLMs exhibit emergent abilities to humanize technology more effectively than previous technologies, and for people across language, occupation, and accessibility divides.
