One way to think about it: how good does it need to be for the managerial class types who are visibly salivating at mass layoffs to convert current professional jobs into 1099 “temporary” LLM quality control gigs? I’m betting we’re close to the level where some large places are going to try.
- vundercind 3y agoI do think it likely we’ll see a lot of organizations decide they just don’t care that much about (much of) their writing being any good. Like rushing to replace your first-line support with a chat LLM: sure it’s terrible, but you don’t give a shit, so that’s fine (until you get stuck with the obligation to keep its promises…) Things will get a little worse all over, GDP and productivity will go up, and we’ll claim it’s better. That’s not all of what’s been happening since about the 1970s, but it’s a lot of it, so, nothing new there.
- marcosdumay 3y agoHow good does it need to be to get any passable result? Well, as good as the people writing it nowadays. The kind of quality you get from writers is not the same as you get from editors. Or did you mean how good it must be before mangers actually start replacing people? That one I have no idea, and I don't expect it to have any relation with how good content people expect to read or how good content the LLMs actually produce.
