90% of people have similar tastes, so statistics will make the majority's lives much easier, in my opinion.

I don't want anything your statistics generate

Statistically, yeah, you do. Is it that there's numbers and forethought involved that turns you off, or the meta of it all?

If you don’t want to have what an AI generates then don’t use it. I do agree with the sentiment that the addition of “AI” which goes from a rebrand of what was already there to integration of LLMs is at the moment only somewhat helpful and obtuse. But, really your new systems shouldn’t be thin front ends to gpt4 and instead something far more tangible. Output dashboards or reports or aggregate data. I have my own pro…

You haven't seen what I've seen. :) There are a lot of groups running towards this goal and it's all going to land at once.

Fine, I’ll bite I guess. AI generated content will never beat a Studio Ghibli production. This must be judged by actual fans, not those who want AI to win. There’s no way AI is deriving content like that studio can make. Not in months (lol), not in 10 years.

The point of all content isn’t shitting something out for a quick buck, which sure, AI will excel at. Studio Ghibli is clearly taking care to create unique works. True craftsmanship and AI shitsmashship are not and will never be the same thing.

We're approaching the threshold where a computer chip can outcompute a brain, and probably more cheaply for most creative and logical tasks.

It is better to make peace with the inevitable at this point. The future is becoming increasingly obvious - these tools will pass any variation of the Turing test people care to come up with, the only hint that computers are involved will be when they really zoom past us and the quality and creativeness of the output is so consistently high that humans can't have been involved. We're not there yet, but realistically ChatGPT is already a superhuman intelligence, it is just a broad intelligence and something with depth is what is needed.

There are questions of exactly when all this will happen (years or decades?) but the shape of the algorithms has basically been nailed down and we're seeing exponential hardware improvements where it seems wildly pessimistic to assume they will hit a wall before overtaking a biological mind.

My boss “writes” policies etc using ChatGPT. They’re generic, overly wordy and say nothing of original thought. I don’t read them and don’t care. When he sends me a link to them in MS Teams I always click the first auto suggested response Teams like “Looks great!” Machine v machine.

That's hilarious. Someday we'll all be working QA, just scanning over AI output for issues, like manufactured goods passing by on a conveyor belt.

If only it were that easy, the flood of other peoples AI generated content clogs up anywhere its not laboriously moderated out. DeviantArt, for example, has become more or less 99% AI content by volume over the last couple of years and is now basically useless if you're not interested in having a firehose of generic AI images blasted at you. I've seen people complaining that speciality groups for hobbies like crochet, interior design or car photography are overrun with fake AI images. Search engines are full of fake AI images and GPT-written SEO farms. Twitter is full of GPT powered bots. It's everywhere regardless of whether you deliberately engage with it.

Not that I think complaining is going to fix anything, we've irrevocably broken the signal-to-noise ratio of the internet by building an infinite noise generator, for relatively nebulous benefits in return.
