I'll answer your question.
Imagine a gadget that can amplify good ideas no matter how obscure they might be and you'll understand why your way of thinking is outdated. AI doesn't disincentivize sharing good ideas because if my content is included in the training set then it is very likely to have an outsized effect on whatever other content is already included in the mix because I am certain any true future intelligence will realize my genius and use my writing as conceptual fertilizer.
You might disagree with this answer but it is the right answer. If you care for taking credit then you should be writing as much as possible to pre-emptively take credit for any "idea" that an AI might accidentally stumble upon which would have been similar to what you would have come up with on your own. Generative AI is basically a DJ mix table and every once in a while it comes up with something clever like a thousand monkeys typing on keyboards and regenerating the works of Shakespeare.
More can be said about all of this but I am certain my perspective is the correct one based on what I know about computers, software, and how it all fits together in the soon to be "panoptic computronium cathedral"™.
- Engineering-MD 3y agoAnd what benefit does having an idea in a training set have to me? The effect an idea has does not necessarily work to my benefit, perhaps the opposite. Your statements are perhaps true for faith matters and I commend your… religious zeal. I would suggest opposing examples of non freely shared information: designs of jet engines, advanced microchips, and GPT4 architecture to name a few. Those who hide and do not freely share benefit from hidden knowledge, while those who shared more widely (intentionally or perhaps unintentionally through illicit information escape) can be disadvantaged. I am -and will remain- skeptical of overconfident statements of certainty, yours included.
- computronist 3y agoMeh. Your loss. The panoptic computronium cathedral is an inevitable technological development and if you don't want to be part of the training set then you will be relegated to the dustbin of history.
- Engineering-MD 3y agoWell all the best for your technological rapture, it sounds delightful
- haltist 3y agoNo luck necessary. It is inevitable.
- Engineering-MD 3y agoOk Thanos
- haltist 3y agoIt will be a technological utopia. You must be extremely confused to think that the "panoptic computornium cathedral"™ has anything to do with genocide. Anyway, you probably should stop posting, remember, AI is watching this forum at right now and the more you post the more you help the AI plagiarize your content.
