McDonalds exists and is more or less synthetic food. But we still cook at home, and also want food to be cooked by humans. Even if food gets to be 3D-printed, some people will cook. Likewise people still write, and draw paintings. So these two phenomena are bound to coexist, perhaps we don't yet know how.
- nicbou 1y agoThis is hardly a suitable analogy. Big tech is inserting LLMs before content. They're using people's work to compete against them and strangle them out.

- nicbou 1y agoLLMs use the work of other people without payment or attribution, and uses the models they train to compete against the people whose work they stole. It's a parasitic relationship, an invasive species destroying an ecosystem. Farmers still get paid for the food they grow, and restaurants still get paid to prepare it, and supermarkets to sell it. They are alternatives serving different needs. Their presence is the result of market demand, not of massive capital investment. There is balance and symbiosis.
