Yes. It devalues artists further (on top of only existing due to grand scale theft of art). It also is slop devoid of intention.
If that's not enough, it's ecologically devastating. I would rather not waste millions of gallons of water on slop that gets generated and thrown away.
- intended 2y agoHuman information networks are also an ecosystem. Having an abundance of slop stops the flow of information and knowledge. You have to filter everything that is shared to make sure you aren’t being predated upon.
- huimang 2y agoPrecisely - the amount of damage that openai and llms have done to human knowledge sharing and discourse is incalculable. Now we not only have to deal with humans manually writing junk due to perverse incentives, we also have to deal with people passing off machine generated junk at scale. And we're destroying the environment through rapidly increasing resource consumption to do so. This situation is incredibly fucked.
