I thought the fun part was going to be that Chat GPT would condense those bloated SEO preambles into neat paragraphs.

I can picture a Chat GPT browser that transforms those pages into their essential meaning, if they have any.

I think too there should be standards and rules regarding affiliate content. For example, affiliate review sites. If the reviewer cannot prove they actually purchased the product and used it, their reviews are filtered out, SEO rankings be damned.

For now I'm mostly excited about Chat GPT going into role playing game engines and NPCs, and as a sort of dynamic encyclopedia to aid my research and learning.

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.

IMO it's more vital than ever to fund projects like the Internet Archive. They're the only ones incentivized to maintain a snapshot of un-LLM-clouded training data of human knowledge, unclouded by the hubris of "who cares about the old stuff, we should focus our archiving on the web as it exists today" that inevitably will take hold (or already has) in big tech companies who will have laid off the vast majority of those voicing these concerns. We owe it to future generations to prevent ourselves from falling into the training-cycle trap.

One step closer to wireheads, with a trickle current going across a wire inserted into the pleasure center of the brain, in Ringworld.

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…

I see this take a lot and I don't get why this is different from what we have right now.

> Unlimited 24/7 AI streamers on Twitch.

So basically Twitch as it is?

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

Which is TV right now?

> Unlimited AI opinions about any topics.

Welcome to Twitter.

You filter in the same way people always have. Studying, learning, acquiring taste.

This right here is where we can make obscene money off of Hollywood. LLMs are a godsend for streaming platforms. Everything from script to sound track. Production costs will sink, and can scale to meet demand. Open Q is whether people will eat the AI dog food (think faux meat..) and history suggests the proverbial couch potato will lap up any slop if continuously delivered.

In the back of my mind, I have a hope that it will lead to the collapse of the platform internet and a return to smaller trusted communities and boards.

We still have curated libraries and the knowledge contained in those books has a much better signal-to-noise ratio than the internet ever will!

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.

It could. But that's not how you make a 10 billion valuation worth it. Much like facebook could have been a way to make us more connected to one another and less divided, but we all know how that went

Stop guys, stop.

Be young in your mind. Be young.

How are young people interpreting this?

"Oh wow, I can get it to write or help edit essays"

"I can use it as something to bounce ideas off of"

"I can use it to take ideas from my head into the digital realm."

Stop being old people.
