If the amount of bullshit is going to increase exponentially what decision do we have other than to disconnect?
Our attention, mind space, and time are all limited. We just don't have time to process this exponentially growing pile of content.
- lukev 4y agoSame as we do now. Nobody currently goes around reading random books or articles. We use link aggregators from communities we trust, reviews from reputable establishments, or recommendations from our friends. These mechanisms are certainly going to have to adjust (I estimate at least 10% of links posted on HN are already GPT-generated, for example, and who knows how many comments -- it's much harder to tell when thinks are shorter.) StackOverflow is already in the midst of a ChatGPT-induced moderation crisis. Being judicious about the communities you take recommendations from, the content you spend time consuming and thinking about things critically is already an intellectual survival trait. It's just going to become that much more important.
