Human-curated content from trusted sources for top 1% information probably only available to subscribers will become more valuable and sought after. I suspect the days of generally trusting forums populated by anonymous users are done?
I would not be surprised if the quality of human writing actually goes up. I have this weird feeling that ChatGPT and similar tools will become almost equivalent to calculators for math? My experience as a writer is that sometimes just throwing down a first draft is the hardest step - I could see these tools really assisting in the writing process. Generate a draft, do some tweaking, ask for suggestions or improvements, repeat.
I don't know how I feel about code generated by these tools. Will there be a similar benefit compared to writing? At some level, we will need some deeper mastery of writing and coding to use these things well. Is there a complexity cliff that these tools will never be able to overcome?
A total lack of trust for general internet search results. So much content is already shallow copies of other content. I don't see how general internet search survives this.
- rsync 4y agoThe anonymity isn’t the problem - it’s the cost free aspect. Anonymous content can work very well if there are costs incurred…
- Always42 4y agoBut let's be real, who has the time or energy to carefully curate content these days? It's all about efficiency and getting the job done. And let's face it, anonymous forums have their charm and can be a great source of information if you know where to look.
- lgreiv 4y agoAgreed. I used ChatGPT to expand that thought to a full essay written in the style of PG [1], but sadly my Ask HN did not start any fruitful discussion. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33846989 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33846989
