Amen. Since Chat GPT took off I've continued to believe it's biggest contribution to society will be that it greatly improves the ability of individuals to generate massive amounts of noise which they can add to the sea of unnavigable garbage the internet has already become. The power to produce more in less time is a net negative that ultimately lends itself to entropy, it is not a positive thing at all unless you completely ignore social and holistic effects in favor of a machiavellian hyper-individualist perspective which claims that any means and any consequence is acceptable to satisfy the isolated, local needs of single individuals at any given point in time.
- mistrial9 3y agothere will be a layering effect where the "winds" howl and suffocate on one "low consciousness" level, while at another effective teams use it for high-value targets; etc. Someone once told me that "the Internet is so big, that there are certainly groups of tens of thousands of individuals somewhere, organized and doing some activity that you have never heard of".. so yes to the dark futures interpretation and also yes to constructive purposes and yes to predatory militaristic purposes, and more.. ps- people self-obsessed and off balance will dive in and try to communicate with "everyone" .. enabling new personal hell realms
- mycall 3y agoYou can always ask GPT to give terse results to greatly reduce the noise.
