At the end of the day if an AI can do the job to an acceptable standard a human doesn't need to be doing it.

As you say it's happened to countless industries and will continue to happen.

Except that the 'AI' is fed by the work of actual humans, and as time goes on, they will be trained more and more on the imperfect output of other AIs, which will eventually result in their output being total bizarre crap. Meanwhile, humans stopped training at whatever task since they couldn't be paid to do it anymore, so there's no new human material.

No? Wtf are you talking about? This is such a nonsense take.

Yeah, I've gotten a couple 'omg U dumb, ur wrong' type responses when i mention this. However, it's not my idea or something - this has been widely discussed.

Here, you can read this research paper:

What will happen to GPT-{n} once LLMs contribute much of the language found online? We find that use of model-generated content in training causes irreversible defects in the resulting models, where tails of the original content distribution disappear.

Okay fair enough.

I acted like a smug prick, but you're absolutely right.

Wow you clearly have a very good understanding of economy and of how our species has been evolving in the lady hundreds of years.

You are the same as the people who didn't want to lose their jobs in the coal mines and in the oil rigs. BeCauSE wE wON't HavE JOooOBs....instead of diving into the ones created by renewables.

You prefer to be in stable shity conditions then in an turbulent way to improvement

That was mildly offensive and didn’t really have anything at all to do with what I said. Are you an AI chatbot?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh ok you can't understand, dw I won't waste your time.

In case you really want to know; I am saying it's amz how you can predict the future.

I stated something factual that has been noted by many other people, including people who work on large language models. Accusing me of being a Luddite is hardly a relevant discussion.

"Oh ok you can’t understand"

The idea that you're expressing an idea at all is sort of flattering yourself, but please, get back to it.

Anyway, here's an article about what I said:

You can dispute it with them. In fact, it cites a research paper:
