Not a super well thought out article. Example: lots of speculative complaints that ChatGPT will lead to an explosion of low quality and biased editorial material, without a single mention of what that problem looks like today (hint: it was already a huge problem before ChatGPT). Ditto with the “ChatGPT gave me wrong info for a query” complaint. Well, how does that compare to traditional search? I’m willing to believe…

Quantity has a quality all its own.

An endless loop of AI generated content that gets posted to the web as original human generated content, with LLMs getting re-trained on this content and spitting out more content that also gets re-posted, resulting in a cesspool of BS masquerading as organic knowledge. I'm old enough to remember when Google provided meaningful search results rather than just SEO spam, the problem is about to get an order of magnitude worse.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why do people always bring this up? Not to be rude but who gives a shit? You and some others wanted a term to mean something, everyone else disagreed and moved on. Let it go seriously

I suppose the point was that if every new tech is termed as web3.0 in the past decade and it still is something out there in the future, the least you can do is question it.

Seems like we need a new meme. `current_year` will be the year of web 3.0!

It's already pretty bad with Github/SO threads. Guys will scrape threads on GH/SO and repost them to their sites, usually with a ton of ads but the post ranks higher than the original thread so it will come up first when you google an error.

This article lost me with it's definitions of "Web 1.0" and "Web 2.0," which are totally divorced from reality.

How so? I was curious if my memory was wrong but wikipedia seems to agree with me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0, what is your definition of web 2.0?

Not to be a grumpy old man, but I will say, my known original definition of Web 3.0 was the Semantic Web [1] but I have no idea if that definition came before the one in TFA about those selling javascript webpage controls marketing their latest spinner product spinning it as web 3.0 > web 2.0.

> Not to be rude but...

And then you proceeded to intentionally use rude and abrasive language.

You can disagree with someone and challenge their opinion without using phrases like "who gives a shit" and "let it go".

emperor has no clothes but this forum is full of people who wasted their money investing it and/or get paid to work on it.

today "AI is just spicy autocomplete" gets flagged off front page.

For MONTHS, front page has been full of sub-script-kiddie level "AI" tools that are just `curl "{static_prompt} + {user_input}" http://chatgptapi`

or mediocre examples of things that would have been impressive a computer could do in 1960, but are absolutely easier to do since 2010 with google or other tools.
