It's an autocomplete, hardly transformative.
> ChatGPT will transform forum comments. Soon human written messages like this one will be swamped by machine-assisted argue-bots. And sales-bots.
You really think people that like to argue online will deprive themselves from the joy of writing the message on their own?
And bots that write marketing comments are hardly new.
Again, hardly transformative.
> Other LLMs are doing images, which will be much the same. You can illustrate your book automatically, pretty much now. You can generate marketing images, now.
None of this is transformative either, it's just the same as the code autocomplete example.
You really think any of the things you have cited will deeply affect society? Please.
- lordnacho 4y agoIt's not autocomplete, we had intellisense two decades ago. And nobody would argue that wasn't useful. Saving time is useful. Thing that merely save time have been transformative. For instance you can walk across London in a couple of hours or you can take the tube. All it does is save time. But that's transformative, it changes what you can do when you don't need the same amount of time to do it. Marketing and especially political comments are about to swamp every digital space. Soon you will not know what is real and what is a puppet. This is without a doubt transformative. Look at the relatively small wave caused by the Cambridge Analytica thing. This thing will create a tsunami of BS sweeping us all away. I'll admit it hasn't happened yet, what we have now is just the beginnings. Happy to say LLMs are a big deal.
