"AI-free" is pretty clear. "Organic" is much more subjective. The same applies to Organic food, if I'm not mistaken.
I couldn't resist the metaphor of the "Organic" origin, as produced by wet brain instead of silicon.
Silicon!

#13There is so much stuffing for a simple idea that I'm not sure if this piece deserves its own title, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. One thing that I wonder though is how we will draw the line. If I'm writing a piece and do a Google search, and in that way invoke BERT under the hood, is anything that I write afterwards "AI-tainted"? What about the grammar checker? Or the spot removal tool in photoshop or gi…
It's interesting that the article mentions Kosher rules as if abiding by them is trivial and as if the practice isn't ridden with gray areas.

#14>I don’t think you can stop technological progress. Humanity moves in the direction of better and more sophisticated tools to make life more convenient, and it will be more convenient to introduce more and more AI-produced content into the culture.
That is a rather boldly positive perspective.
History show us how great technologies can come and go and is never distributed uniformly. Think sewers and drainage systems for example.
Obviously sophisticated technologies can be used in odious endeavors, where more efficiency means more atrocity. Think genocides for example.

#15> Published content will be later used to train subsequent models, and being able to distinguish AI from human input may be very valuable going forward
I find this to be a particularly interesting problem in this whole debacle.
Could we end up having AI quality trend downwards due to AI ingesting its own old outputs and reinforcing bad habits? I think it's a particular risk for text generation.
I've already run into scenarios where ChatGPT generated code that looked perfectly plausible, except for that the actual API used didn't really exist.
Now imagine a myriad fake blogs using ChatGPT under the hood to generate blog entries explaining how to solve often wanted problems, and that then being spidered and fed into ChatGPT 2.0. Such things could end up creating a downwards trend in quality, as more and more of such junk gets posted, absorbed into the model and amplified further.
I think image generation should be less vulnerable to this since all images need tagging to be useful, "ai generated" is a common tag that can be used to exclude reingesting old outputs, and also because with artwork precision doesn't matter so much. If people like the results, then it doesn't matter that much that something isn't drawn realistically.

I don’t see generative AI ever going.

Calling others' work product "content" is pretty offensive.

#19> Customers and the audience should be able to know and choose if they are interacting with AI-generated content. More importantly, they need to be able to choose to interact exclusively with artisanal, human-produced ideas. good that automattic is setting this policy for themselves, but as long as this is opt-in there is zero chance this fantasy will be reality also @simonw’s “AI veganism”: https://news.ycombinator.…

Agreed!

#20> One of my favorite products is “100% Fat-Free Pickled Cucumbers Fit (Gluten Free), “ which I once saw at the grocery store. On my first fligh to the US, in the 90's, a rather obese lady in the row in front of me asked the flight attendant: "Excuse me. Do you have fat-free water?" The flight attendant hesitated a split second, her face not moving an inch. Then she smiled and replied: "We certainly have fat-free wate…
> in the 90's, a rather obese lady
I suppose you wrote the 90's lest our mental image was of a 2020's rather obese lady? The woman probably would be skinny today
