gytrcrton Will our next generation lose their own writing voice because of LLMs?

Thanks!

I agree that AI is a tool like calculators in history. Also, the education system and infrastructure are not ready to deal with the impact yet. I hope our awareness and conversation here is a small step forward to readiness.

I worry that major players like tech firms use the tool inappropriately and hurt the next generation more. For example, recommendation system enabled Instagram and TikTok, and Instagram and TikTok make us addicted. The firms are using the technology to exploit our human weakness. I can see how AI will be used in a similar way...

gytrcrton Why is it hard to evaluate GenAI applications?

I think the difference is: 1. there was no hallucination from information retrieval or classic ML back 2010s 2. there was way lower engagement from general public or even regulator on classic ML system. aka, people were not able to directly "talk" to a ML system like ChatGPT

the 2 points combined drive way more scrutiny on GenAI models/apps.
