You know that to certify something as kosher, a rabbi has to be paid to stand there all day next to the kishke stuffing machine or whatever. Makes the consumable a lot more expensive. On the other hand, I see job opportunities. [edit] Actually, just to expand on this a bit, this is effectively an argument for establishing a mark of authenticity that all literate civilizations have always striven to place on their intellectual output. There has never been a single rule uniting these efforts, but civilizations which placed more emphasis on safeguarding and defending the precision of the written word have tended to be rewarded with greater longevity. There's no reason that trend shouldn't accelerate when faced with the threat of inundation by meaningless language models. Just like gold coinage, we're looking at a period of debasement and inflation. You could actually argue that language models themselves are an expression of anti-semitism, in the sense that they're an attempt to undermine the sacredness of the written word, to destroy or wash out the way that the meaning of words ennobles humanity, and to eradicate the special relationship that the law of language and the language of law create between God and Man. I only say it seems anti-semitic because that particular concept, as a high/sacred value, seems unique to Judaism (from my perspective, I can't think of another culture that considers it an inviolable precept) and so this attempted abolishment of the human hand in the written word seems particularly targeted at those who consider the word sacred; maybe this is yet to be threshed out. Maybe Bari Weiss will write about it once some nazis have ChatGPT come up with a totally bunk but plausible corruption of the Talmud. But love of the written word is something that should rightly be a general human value, because we'll live or die with it, Jews and everyone else, whether we want to or not. All civilizations fall when their coin is debased, and our coin today is information. [edit2] also, I'm drunk, and I love y'all. I hope this stimulates debate, not hate.
