> How much energy will the chain of AIs and counter-AIs between content production and content consumption/discovery burn? While I have plenty of cynicism about this and also expect it to at least partially play out like this, let me offer a more optimistic perspective on the same thing. People come into media with different amounts of background knowledge and context. Currently, this is basically solved by a tiered system of 'knowledge' distribution. As an example (though I think something similar exists outside of the sciences too), scientists write papers that are read by science communicators who put out press releases which are read by journalists who write articles about stuff all of which is read by various content creators who remix all of this into their own content tailored to their specific following. Part of this is tailoring is knowing what context/knowledge your audience already has and giving them enough new information for the new content to be digestible without the consumer needing to seek out other sources. So when ChatGPT-N is reencoding the content for you, it can personalize it your level of knowledge, without wasting your time by either rehashing stuff you're already aware of or by including context that you wouldn't necessarily have known that you're missing. This of course means that ChatGPT will need to know what you do/don't know...
