All the books. I think books might be better

• recuter 4y ago
  There's only about 100m books (in English). About the same volume of text as the web all total.

    Generally a book has deeper thinking than a webpage, though, I think that’s the crux of the GP’s clarification.

      And the distribution of text will be very different for all books vs the internet.

  Yes. And (with scary privacy implications) maybe the next frontier is capturing all spoken language uttered by people in real-time and streaming it into a model that is being updated in near-real-time. And finally brain implants extracting unspoken thoughts and neural activity and combining it all. Extend it to non human life forms as well. (universal consciousness?)

    It's the future where everyone is a universal captcha solver for the needs of the Great AI. No freedom even in your thoughts.
