Unlike the low background radiation steel, high quality content will still continue to be created. Arguably even at a faster rate with these powerful tools.
The proportion will drop ofcourse but that only means curation will become king. With search this curation was difficult, because the value was so low you could only do it profitably if it was completely automatic, and that was difficult.
An optimistic take would be that LLMs will make curation so much more valuable, that it will be done much better. If the wider world gets to use this curation to limit spam, and highlight good work, it would be amazing for the world.
- hermitcrab 3y ago>LLMs will make curation so much more valuable, that it will be done much better. Won't that also mean a return to a world of gatekeepers?
- slowmovintarget 3y agoThat gatekeepers will be the ones deploying the ML systems.
- rocqua 3y agoYes, hopefully they will be good.
- ofrzeta 3y agoLet the crawler AI discard a sample if it detects it as AI generated? That's at least quite expensive I think.
- slowmovintarget 3y agoYou're forgetting that we have mechanisms in place to curate curation and farm attention toward the crap, not toward quality. It will be harder and harder to break the surface tension of this gooey gelatin wrapper we've placed over creative activity.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoPeople will pay money for curation towards quality, probably quite a bit if the rest of the landscape is 99.99% noise. They won't pay much money for curation "toward the crap". So I'm not nearly as pessimistic.
- slowmovintarget 3y agoBut that will be reputation-based, and names can be sold. Look at the brand-holding conglomerates we have today that don't make any of the original product, they just license the name out to anyone, regardless of the quality of the finished good. From mattresses to magazines, we keep seeing this. Why wouldn't we see this in curation sites?
- MichaelZuo 3y agoSure, there will always be some fraction of dupes and double games being played, but how does that change the main point? It's very unlikely for 100% of all intelligent curators to become dishonest either so it doesn't seem like a serious roadblock.
