You're right - I wasn't considering how narrow his case is and was perhaps overgeneralizing, particularly about the cause. Seems we agree the better solution for column_index_+1 doesn't exist is to call it out instead of stea

Indeed they are not forced to train them on user outputs, but the author of the article seems to have found good evidence that they are actually doing that, and will need more expert data-tagging/filtering on the inputs to regain their

The key point in the middle of the article. As AIs expand usage to larger numbers of lower-skilled coders whose lower ability to catch errors and provide feedback generates lower quality training data, the AIs are basically eating their own

Nice idea. Maybe do it for bicycles which are often more unique/personalized. Also, how are they going to identify identical model/trim/color cars when the license plates have been removed or switched?

Yup, that was one of Steve Job's principles: he recognized that someone was going to do something better and take your market share — so it is best if you cannibalize your own market share before they do.

Of course, making one single switch for everything in that complex system is absurd. Which is why this is something no one is talking about here. We are only talking about the architecture, setup, and options for each particular game.
