#33People really love to make predictions about technologies way too early. It’s been a year or two, tops, since this stuff has gone mainstream. I very much doubt that the consumer ecosystem will remain the same while content undergoes an AI-powered paradigm shift. We will most likely see a growth of curated sites that help weed out the nonsense, as has been typical for most new developments. And on that note, I think t…
Yeah, that happened, but who cares? It also allowed creative people to make stuff without needing a huge budget Is it not too early to make predictions?
Your quote isn’t a prediction, but a direct observation of what occurred.

Filmmaking devices have gotten cheaper consistently over the last ~50 years. I don’t know about you, but I think some pretty good movies have come out since 1970, especially by directors working on very low budgets.

#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
I’m 41 and I’m utterly baffled by my 24 year-old SO’s interest in binging an apparently infinite litany of TV shows from streaming services. I’ve watched the first six seasons of Game Of Thrones, the first season of Dark, all of The Expanse (reading the last book of the final trilogy now), His Dark Materials (because I read the books) and Andor. That’s it. I watched some Star Trek TNG & DS9 as a kid and was horrified…
You haven't seen The Wire?
No. I tried but I couldn’t get through the very dense accents.
I forgot Breaking Bad. Sorry, my bad.

#36According to the author, chatGPT is generating not "artificial creativity" but a simple "statistical mean of everything uploaded by humans on the internet which fits certain criteria". Isn't the post I'm typing here not also the product of my brain that's been trained by a couple of decades of sensory inputs and trained to produce outputs that fit certain criteria? What is the fundamental difference between fleshy ne…
At this point in time, ongoing training which converts selected context in immediate conversations eventually to long-term memory (a pretty trivial amount of engineering compared to chatGPT's creation). Aside from that… I don't think there's a good answer for you.

#37There are text-to-image models trained on images found on the internet. But when they were trained, there were no AI generated images on the internet. Now there is plenty of weird images with AI artifacts made by this 1st gen AI all over the internet. All the new generations will be trained on dataset containing at least some amount of these. Which might turn out to be really annoying form of feedback loop.

#38How do we prove we are human? A platform that can reliably prove that the user generated content it shows is human generated will have an edge. If I have a method of signing some content with my personal signature, I could still sign off on some generated content with it. I suspect there will be an arms race with ever more voight-kampff-like tests of humanness or something. If this doesn't work, I fear a lot of the w…
Perhaps this is a Chess move to get the public to call for the end of anonymous posting online, which serves the purpose of the authoritarians who would love to be able to send 'educators' to your house to re-educate you on correctness of your views.

#39In just the past couple of weeks, I've noticed lots of machine generated cooking recipes. They follow the typical SEO pandering blog format, where there's an unnecessary story about the author's trip somewhere or their child's school play being the inspiration for making this particular recipe, followed by the actual recipe details. The machine generated stories are even more pointless and meandering than what humans…
I think the problem you are describing is not only about AI, it is about trusting your sources of information. I can happen with content from humans.
I have never encountered GPs problem where the recipe itself (the thing I was searching for) rather than the surrounding SEO fluff was AI generated trash. If this problem widely proliferates, especially into other domains, curation is going to become absolutely vital.

I don't think the making of the original blade runner involved much in the way of modern AI. I'm honestly not sure what you're trying to say.
