Here's one
AI can only recycle the past.
- grim_io 1y agoMost of us do nothing but remix the past solutions. Since we don't know what else might already exist in the world without digging very deep, we fool ourselves into thinking that we do something very original and unique.
- danielmarkbruce 1y agolol, this is the entire reason LLMs work so well. The bar is so low and most folks don't seem to realize it.
- balamatom 1y agoAnd the real reason they're betting on LLMs is because if they manage to put the ceiling at the same height as the bar they win.
- analog8374 1y agoSoon AI will be used for crafting government policy. That is, for plotting a course that will maintain the ruling class with the best safety. This AI will be built from it's own excretions, recursively. That might be a hilarious trap.
- danielbln 1y agoAnd even truly novel and unique things are more often than not composites of things that have come before prior. We all stand on the shoulders of giants/priors.
- analog8374 1y agoThere's plenty of novelty out there. In fact it's in infinite supply. The giant's shoulder just give us access to useful an lucrative spaces in which to build that novel stuff.
- danielbln 1y agoThat doesn't contradict what I said. Just that pattern detection based on priors doesn't rule out novelty if guided by a human.
