As has been discussed here, the more AI generates the content the less humans generate content. Further AI generated content is much faster and cheaper to produce so it’s quantity will dwarf human generated content. This then feeds into the training set and becomes self reinforcing. There will be no collective human cognitive labor to source for free. I suspect to mitigate that AI companies will hire lots of people to simply write. This writing will be tailored to address shortcomings in the model and provide human mediated training material that’s targeted at training areas of difficulty for the models. The goal won’t be moderation, or editorialism, or producing original content. No one other than the machines will see the content written. The goal will be to improve the ability of the models to produce compelling content in volume for a marginally low cost - which may become dominated by the content creators feeding the machine. But it’ll be much less cost on the margin with a more predictable quality result than hiring individually unique humans to make hit or miss content at scale. (N.b., I’m only focusing on the free cognitive labor statement)
