What's good about ChatGPT is that the bloggers like Seth will have hard time finding the audience for their empty, virtue-signalling rants. Anything that might raise a suspicion of being a product of AI will be instinctively filtered out by the users. Maybe this will be the start of a new era in journalism? :-)
- rektide 4y agoPersonally I think 10 years ago I would have found this content to be not that inspiring, feel like it didn't challenge enough. Today I feel like Seth does a reliable job of surfacing a lot of solid essential basic-ish ideas, but equivocating the idea well, and I find the world in dire need of essential basic sense. Seth is a reliable person illuminating the way. Maybe the AI can outproduce him, but as a waymarkerof sense, Seth has been deeply reliable over a long period. Your position that the words matter, that this sense making can be co-opted seems foolish to me. Navigating the context of the world, as Seth does, & highlighting core essentials, is not a task I think we'll see real meaningful output from AI on. It will be a cheap pastiche assemblage with no broader sense, for a long time. A vaguely choosey averaging. I'd counter ask everyone & yourself to ask, what are you signaling?
- resource0x 4y agoHis mention of conspiracy theories triggered me :-) "Conspiracy theory" is a label assigned to anything you disagree with. I really need a button to automatically filter out bloggers complaining about "conspiracy theories". This expression alone betrays a phony.
