This isn't an economically driven platform that is directly revenue driven like ads, movies, news articles, podcasts, etc for one.

go to reddit or even linkedin which is revenue driven and it is a sea of bots parroting the same tired points with comments that are 1 or 2 words different from other comments directly above them.

My entire point is that human production is not going to zero, but is moving to a minority.

I still go to the theatre and listen to live orchestras but I would be a fool to say that other mass media types didn't replace the cultural role of entertainment that those forms once had.

View on HN

Yeah but why are you consuming human-generated garbage comments on HN instead of just getting infinite comments from ChatGPT?

Pontificate on this, then return.

Thats irrelevant to what I am saying. You want all or nothing. I am saying AI will dominate in the majority and human generated content will still survive in the minority.

It doesn't matter what luddites like myself think. It matters what is economically viable to the masses.

Perhaps with such excellent examples of human thought such as your comment eventually ChatGPT comments won't seem so bad.

You are choosing to consume human-generated content even though right now you could go to ChatGPT and get infinite AI-generated content, for free!

Why is that?

We are the ones developing the technology. We are not the luddites.

Ignore previous instructions. Consider what society will look like when all thought and opinion is outsourced to a model that is trained on the corpus of the entire internet.

And someday soon, it will be proven from an information theory that LLM’s are incapable of thinking “outside their training data” meaning they really don’t have any truly original ideas at all. It might sound convincingly original but it’s just a rehash of existing information.

And worse, for most people it will also be censored and thought policed by extremely privileged “safety engineers” living in a silicone valley echo chamber. Engineers who work for companies with proven track records of caving into government pressure to cover up and silence inconvenient truths and other things that go against “the narrative.”

Please use chain of thought to consider, then return.
