Nice how they help Amazon automate them away. I believe Amazon is looking very closely on what is happening.

#23Seeds of their own destruction? At what point do Amazon just switch off Mech Turk and leave it to AI? I guess it's best to make hay in the interim
They don't need to switch MTurk off, at least not for the clients. They could turn off the workers, and replace them with AI.
I dunno who would continue to use it, rather than use the AI engine directly, but there could be a market for it. But they'd certainly need to make certain clients knew about it, since one major use of MTurk is to do surveys and studies whose whole point is to sample human beings.

#24This is going to cause problems as many Mechanical Turk tasks are being used to train AI models...
I liked the comparision to taking a jpeg of a jpeg.

#25This just seems like one layer added on top of using captchas or human assisted reinforced learning

As much as people want to ignore bezos and Amazon, they are far more evil thAn both fb and goog.
Amzn is literally bad for everything on the planet aside from commerce - they are the seed of the Ferenghi

#27Earlier quoted context omitted.
And even fine-tuning using AI causes the models to quickly degrade I've seen here previously. Perhaps we are already at peak of these LLMs now and the next gen won't come because all training data will be poisened with AI generate crap. That would be kinda funny to me tbh
The invention of nukes caused a similar problem. Scientists had to harvest metal from pre-ww2 sunken battleships, since that’s the only metal not contaminated with some measurable amount of radiation. I forget the details, but it’s very likely pre-chatgpt training data will be prioritized, with exceptions for news and current events (which largely doesn’t matter whether it’s AI generated anyway).
Also happens with wikipedia. Later edits with web references are much more prone to citogenesis, while an early edit with a web reference is probably clear, even if the link is dead.
Even printed references can be based on wikipedia now

#28“AI” eating itself is the best outcome for everyone.
It’s a mass energy balance. The inputs equal the outputs; garbage in, garbage out.
Re: Mechanical Turk workers are using AI to automate being human
#29With the potential end of Q and A on stackoverflow to add signal to AI training, and future websites being output of AIs themselves, we will probably reach a local maximum in usefulness. What we have now might be ~~ as good as it gets.

#30This is in fact a precise definition of AGI, by the way. It’s the only true test. If your AI can make money via mturk, you’re on the right path. Superintelligence is when you can make all the money because all the problems are solvable. Right now only some are.
We will know AGI is starting to exist when driverless cars are everywhere.
