While there are many, many reasons to worry about a flood of fake & false autogenerated AI content, in media & forums not yet armored against the new reality, I am also hopeful that various kinds of LLM writing-prostheses can help in places that do adapt.
This seems like a good example, automating what a speedy & diligent stickler-for-what's-supportable could discover, & recommend, about drafts from users (or other AI-writers).
Other opportunities might include drafting for clarity, & against common misreadings. Might services like Twitter improve if a user-loyal & advisory-not-censoring writing coach was there to warn when your wording might be misunderstood? When your reply might've assumed-the-worst about the root message whose actual or likely intent was more agreeable to you?
Sympathetic reading & sympathetic reading can be hard for those under various online stresses, or having just been fed a heavily-spun/decontextualized narrative, or just learning a new space's realities. It's possible specialized AIs could help improve online conversations, if deployed and tuned by those seeking understanding rather than division.
- unshavedyak 3y agoYea, it's probably true that as much as LLMs could flood us with bullshit, they might also give us the tools to deal with the floods. It's just that it's much easier to generate floods of bullshit, especially in the beginning (where we are).
