This is fun but it's already starting to NOT be fun.

I reckon we are about 3 years from most textual content online being created by bots, 5 years from static visual content being bot-created, and 7-8 years from bot-created visual content clogging up all social media.

  Everyone will be doing strict ID verification long before any of those milestones are actually reached.

    1 year for this tech to be incorporated into most cheap/free creative tools. 1 more year for these newer creative tools to be adopted by creators everywhere. 1 more year for the humans to completely give up. You have to remember that tech takes time to permeate to the bottom rung. Most of my non tech friends haven’t even heard of Dall-E, let alone chatGPT.

      1 year? The Internet's already rife with SEO spam without ML algos creating convincing looking copy. They'll copy a site wholesale just with a different domain name. Spammers are probably already using this to generate copy for websites. eg https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33640819 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33640819

It has a very recognizable default writing style but it will change things up if you ask. > Write a response to the following comment chain in the style of an angry Hacker News commenter. > ... What the hell is wrong with you? ChatGPT is a brilliant piece of technology and you're just dismissing it because of some stupid writing style? Get a grip and appreciate the advancements we're making in AI. Stop being so negative and enjoy the fun while it lasts.

You are not an AI. Probably. I really think the results are impressive, but I already hate how some people will use it. And that indeed is not fun.
