An increasing concern of mine is coming to fruition. 30% of the world market are invested in AI and its assistants. When I quickly try to research something I sometimes get a garbled mess that contradicts itself from one paragraph to the next. They are overvalued.
I could not recall who had written Starship Troopers and searching it told me that it was Hubbard rather than Heinlein. Then another search where the search engine (I'll call it SE instead of AI), confused an advertisement with actual information and combined the two.
There was a student in university who supported herself by writing three romance novels per year. Hardly literature and she used the contractual template provided; a heroine who was average looking, a stunning male who wooed her and they lived happily ever after. It paid for her tuition. The recent AI written horror story was pulled off the market.
I love science fiction, but when I tried to watch Gemini man with will Smith. The cgi of his younger self was so poorly done it was unwatchable. Actors are not replaceable.
Recently big companies won what I expect is the first of many legal claims.

Another concern is if this story is actually true and if the players are all artificial, then LLMs are simply copying all of human history mixing it up with science fiction dystopia and creating a civilization that will become post-apocalyptic simply because there arent enough published utopias.

Technology is supposed to be progressive, not rehash ancient history.
I think that the big tech company that will win is the one that brings a useful assistant on the market.
In the case of AI I think technology is getting too big for its boots.
ReplyDeleteCodex: It's an unfinished product that was brought to market and getting into too much. Not sure if you're interested in the repercussions (I don't mean that in a bad way. Most people are ignoring how serious this is)
