What Ploum describes sounds a lot like Nietzsche's "Last Computer".

A feeble, average of things - the sum of all fears, hopes, dreams, inconsequential experiences and gossip, trivia, boasts and bullshit, plus all documented knowledge - divided through by 8 billion.

While the current speed of the AI research makes me quite uneasy, I cannot really dismiss what we are seeing as:

>What we are witnessing is thus not "artificial creativity" but a simple "statistical mean of everything uploaded by humans on the internet which fits certain criteria".

at least not more than I would my own brain.

I don however fully expect a strong luddite-like backlash happening when this is going to be deployed to more and more places. (Which is not to say that everyone opposed to it is a luddite, but there is a very strong impulse, I have it to, to see this technology as a threat).

We're already drowning in human generated garbage on the web. Sure, AI makes it worse, but we can't blame anything but our human compatriots and ourselves.

From what quotes i've seen posted about this ChatGPT it's a more readable version of the manually done SEO spam pages.

I might have to check that paid search engine...
