Another side effect is a further loss of privacy if only poisoned content can be searched without being logged into a service that has your full info/credit card.
GPT-(n) pollutes the freely searchable internet to shit while a subscription to GPT-(n+1) is sold as the solution.
- kibwen 3y agoThe end-game of Google-style surveillance capitalism has always been that privacy becomes the exclusive purview of the wealthy. AI is accelerating the trend, but it didn't start us on this path.
- add-sub-mul-div 3y agoIt's not helpful to use the fact that the world already sucks to handwave a major force multiplier for the elements that will make it suck much worse much more suddenly.
- kibwen 3y agoThen allow me to be clear that I'm not trying to handwave anything: Google needs to be eliminated, along with the rest of the ad industry.
- add-sub-mul-div 3y agoAdvertising is not likely to go anywhere but we do have an opportunity to nurture significant skepticism about AI before it's too late and becomes as entrenched in the world as Google and social media.
- collingreen 3y agoYou just used "the world already sucks" to wave away their point just like you criticized in the comment they were responding to. :(
- add-sub-mul-div 3y agoGood catch but there is a consistent point I'm making. If the world sucks because of Google etc. then it's counterproductive to use that fact to downplay a new danger, and productive (in my opinion) to write it off so as to focus on a new danger that's still possible to avoid.
