The big problem with this is that content is harder and harder to find. Try to find a non-AI generated reply to a viral post on Twitter, you're looking at having to scroll down 5-6 1080p screens to finally get to some actual stuff people wrote. The content you're enjoying today still exists, but it's a needle in a haystack of AI spam

This is the exact thing I keep telling people. It's all well and good saying human made content will still be around, but it will be covered in a tidal wave of cheaply generated AI hogwash.

We need a law or something that impose platforms to label any text that is only AI and text reworked by AI. And the possibility to filter both (we did this with industrial products). Then let humanity decide what it wants to feed itself with. I prefer to give up completely internet if it would only be filled with generated content. I gladly let it to people who enjoy that. Maybe a platform that label this and allows strict filtering (if possible) would be a success.

  Can we do that for the mountains of ghost-written content and books as well?

    My take is to explicitly mark a difference between human generated content and AI generated content. Not to label one superior to the other. It’s just to let people choose what they prefer. Like in chat bots for some companies they let you know you don’t talk to a human. Would you blindly accept a medical prescription generated by an AI ? Some people might even prefer the prescription made by the AI. All I’m saying is to inform people. After they make their choice.

The signal:noise ratio is decreasing because it’s easier to generate noise. I think paying for content (or content curation) is probably the way to curate high-signal information feeds.

  Just like ads in your Netflix subscription, there is a large profit incentive to charge you for the "high-signal information feeds" and then... fill it with AI-generated content, which is much cheaper to offer. ¿Porqué no los dos?

    I’m okay with AI being used in creative processes where the output is vetted by an actual human. If there’s AI generated content in Netflix ads, I’m guessing it’s of this type. There’s also the option to move on from Netflix if you don’t like its content
