> You might not be fooled by a conversation with an agent like the one in the promo video, but you'd probably agree that somewhere around 80% of people could be.

Nah– These models will improve faster than people can catch up. People or AI models can barely catch AI-created text. It's quickly becoming impossible to distinguish.

The one you catch is the tip of the iceberg.

Same will happen to speech. Might take a few years, but it'll be indistinguishable in a max a few years. Due to compute increase + model improvement, both improving exponentially.

How can we be so sure things will keep getting better? And at a rate faster than humans can adapt?

If we have to damn rivers and build new coal plants to power these AI data centers, then it may be one step forward and two steps back.

So that we're all clear the basis for this analysis is purely made up, yes?

No, instead something worse will happen.

Well spoken and well mannered speakers will be called bots. The comment threads under posts will be hurtling insults back and forth on who's actually real. Half the comments will actually be bots doing it. Welcome to the dead internet.

Right! This is absolutely apocalyptic! If more than half the people I argue with on internet forums are just bots that don't feel the sting and fail to sleep at night because of it, what even is the meaning of anything?

We need to stop these hateful ai companies before they ruin society as a whole!

Seriously though... the internet is dead already, and it's not coming back to what it was. We ruined it, not ai.
