It turns out, oddly enough, that it's possible for it to be both. AI can simultaneously be used to destroy the commons with slop and also make contributions to new math (though isn't the jury still out on whether part of the idea was stolen from human mathematicians?)
- handoflixue 6d agoWhat does "destroy the commons with slop" have to do with ELIZA comparisons?
- jsrozner 6d agoThe people producing and consuming the slop don't realize that it is slop.

And then was told by one of the regional managers for using Copilot generating a bunch of client-facing posters and images with phrasing that had not passed any sort of legal or basic fact checking. The people going all in on it don't realize the downsides, limitations, or understand how they come off to other people with it all.
