The Sleight Doctor 🃏🍉 on Nostr: The more people rely on generative AI, the more the internet becomes swamped with ...
The more people rely on generative AI, the more the internet becomes swamped with error-strewn content which then gets hoovered back up into LLM training datasets. The cumulative long-term impact of all this is a gradual degradation at the societal level not only of a population's capacity for critical consumption, but of the quality of the knowledge-base itself. Couple that with AI being deliberately used by governments and Big Tech to influence public opinion, and it's hello techno-dystopia.
