The problem is that the resource they consume to feed the AI, (human generated content) has become a limited resource, completely mined.
they could pay people to write, IE, news agencies pay writers to write and AI site are one of their clients.
you should get DMs from anthropic offering 50$ for your weeks posts and comments...
Instead they want to pretend they have still room to grow for free. but they can't
(That is just basic economic theory, I want those companies to fuck off already)
Mirrors face, fingers point.
Well, technically, the AI companies aren't making any profits so the actual cost is higher, and also the revenues from the AI articles are declining because people aren't interracting with them.
I feel like all of this research is extremely dubious. There's basically no way to know how much of the internet is AI or not. It's indistinguishable in most cases and especially at scale.
It is a fully rational conclusion, a logical inevitability, and what we are all seeing. But I guess if you can't prove it by some ever changing subjective standard, it isn't happening.
I'm not saying that it isn't happening. The opposite, I personally believe it is happening on a large scale. But I feel that it's extremely hard to measure and I'm not convinced any of these numbers are correct.
If AI replaces humans then why would they need to continue training them? You don't believe in the AGI hype do you? You don't think our system is about anything other than efficiently racing to the bottom, do you?
Besides, humans will always figure out a better way, a new way, a fresh take. And there's your training data.
I don't get why it says "training AI on AI content makes it dumb" when people literally use synthesized data to carefully tune models. Today. I'm sure they'll improve training by the time the internet is fully replaced.
This all assumes that it won't take a human-like AI to replace humans. Whatever replaces us will be pitiful, but it will be supported by our institutions, trillionaires, and enough personal data to create fun headlines like "Elon knows so much about you that if each datum was a grain of sand it would be bigger than Saturn!"
Time to start working on the Blackwall
Those of us who work on maintaining their critical thinking skills and book knowledge are gonna be kiiiings
