Unlimited 24/7 AI streamers on Twitch.

Unlimited 24/7 AI TV shows and movies (RIP Netflix, Hollywood).

Unlimited AI opinions about any topics.

Unlimited AI “grassroots” campaigns.

Unlimited AI propaganda from every country and military (perfectly chosen each time).

Unlimited AI comments, “friends”, and engagements on every social media platform for your posts.

The bigger struggle will be for discovering authenticity and filtering the content down.

Suddenly everyone’s frustration with their AI generated newsfeed and social feeds will become necessary filter tools to communicate and digest information.

Just my opinion. Fun to think about. Will watch “Her” this weekend again.

It could unlock a better web without overlapping, basic and repetitive content spread throughout millions of websites, optimised for search engine indexing. I see it as an interactive knowledge aggregator for basic fact checking on any subject. This creates an opportunity for the web to thrive with genuine, original and thought-provoking authored content.

I think that his diagnosis of Adtech is not quite grim enough. Knowing that advertisers can uniquely identify most users, pretty reliably, not only will the chat bots be able to produce responsive texts, they will be continually training on each individual’s unique psychology and vulnerabilities.

It’s gonna be a gas!

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. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web

Web 3.0 = Semantic Net Web 3.1 = NFT/Blockchain Web 3.2 = AI Large Language Models spurting content into the ecosystem

Web 3.0 = Semantic Net

"Web3" = crypto nonsense

Web 3.0 ≠ Web3

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…

Agreed. What is it with everyone wanting to see Chat GPT only in the light of accessing information and then complaining about it?

Because thats what you do to evaluate it as a service?

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

That's a fairly vitriolic take on what I understand to be a pretty benign opinion.

Am I missing some context here?

Good point. I was already concerned about people's reliance on Google's zero-click answers as the deepest level of inquiry before ChatGPT hit the scene. ChatGPT feels like a multiplier of this convenience factor, being also slightly more specific and generally more consistent.

There's also just that Google's search ranking doesn't work anymore.

I searched "lowest temperatures in boston every year" and got some shit-looking MySpace-like website with a table of temperatures, hell knows where it got its data, instead of a link to the correct page on NOAA or something more authoritative.

Really wish people would stop conflating "Web 3.0" and "Web3" they're entirely different concepts that just have similar names, and don't get me started on "Web5" (but if they are achieving anything it's killing the "Web [version]" naming convention forever)

More about Web3 ≠ Web 3.0 for the uninformed / curious: https://www.nexxworks.com/blog/web3-and-web-3-0-are-not-the-...

I moderate a forum and a user recently started answer questions with links to his blog, where he made AI-generated pages of generated answers on the topics. The posts don't offer anything novel or personal to conversation, as they only repeat the most common talking points on the topic. Ugh.

This is a very hard problem, "who is the original author of a string of facts," "is that string of facts sound or was it altered," this is like the end of truth.

I know that truth is relative but it's like there's no point in using the word truth anymore. Everything is just becoming a collection of words.

How can it be a fact-checking machine when it can take nonsense and make a plausible sounding response from it? GPT has no understanding of what truth is (let alone any real understanding of anything)…
