Content

Probably sounds like another complaint, but I think there is a warning sign for online users and creators.

The flood of AI output is making people less patient with online platforms. More over, people just ask AI for everything instead of search and browse information, which Google has already confirmed. As a result, all kind of online content reaches falling. I imagine the platform companies themselves must be getting nervous about this too.

Maybe in the future we will need a completely different way of reaching people. Will we go back to more traditional publishing? Or will some new kind of platform eventually replace what we have now?

Idk, everything is changing so fast that it is already going beyond what I can understand now. And basically all current legislative processes fail to keep pace with these developments in AI.

Sympathies! I am actively eliminating clear AI bots and content from my search algorithm. It is the ones I can’t identify I worry about most. As a consumer, it is our responsibility to be careful, aware and to think critically about our consumption of content. Alas most do not seem to think.

As a researcher, it irritates me to think that we have resorted to AI as a primary source of information because it gathers up all of the algorithms; filters them, and gives you an answer based on popularity. Which is INCORRECT and academically bankrupt in my opinion. I've seen my professors and even museum personnel use AI overview. This saddens me. We are so prone to wanting the quickest answers possible rather than coming to a constructive conclusion ourselves. This is not the death of individual thinking.

Nukes aside, I do hope we get a return to real publishing and scholarship. Too many people are getting wrong information from AI because they don't know how to properly format their questions.

Well, with the collapse of the Chinese AI companies, and the stock prices of American companies tanking, "AI" may be on the way out. But when that bubble bursts in America... yeah, that won't be good for the economy.

Aww... I don't wanna get nuked. 😕

DarkTech

I'd buy prints of some sisters bro thats for sure.

EMP would be fine, I'm okay to go back to Amish living. At least the weather is nice around here.

I hate ai so much... I hate that my area is the hotbed of ai start-ups... I shout "BOOOOO" whenever I see adverts for it. Especially loud, if I'm in public.

I think AI as it is now will pop and things will go back to not normal but a better place. This reminds me of ever other bubble I've seen. No one has really came up with a way to make money for a large part, and what money they are making gets spent faster than it comes in.

Offer me a paper book and I will buy it

Chris Loe

I live here. I also want it nuked. But can I maybe move first please? 🙏🏻

The thing is the audience has shown distaste for AI generated content. I can see traditional publishing getting stronger but also more localized web connections to keep the AI influence out.

Ordo Mediare vs AI computers?

TBH i dont think google is not really a good plattform anymore as artist to reach anyone at all. you can only try to poison your art, make it public as much as possible and thats it. so at least no training happens and hope people that are interested will find you through your work, the same at least was for me with Yang Young soon from what I can say, people have no problem to accept anything with AI as long its transparent, code, network, algorithm, basically everything that could be in a blackbox, everything thats visible, is something else. so I am not sure, how much it will ever go away.

So, AI concerns me especially as a writer. I see too many of those "write a book in a month/week" ads; a real book takes time to write. Real art takes time to produce. AI is stealing people's ability to respond to questions, to find answers rather than just being given them. AI is making people stupider, more herd like, less inquisitive, less critical, all of which works perfectly for governments and big business.

A collapse of the AI market doesn't necessarily signal the end of its use. In-fact this is exactly why they say in the corporate world, "You don't want to be 'first', you want to be the guy who 'figures it out' after the first guy crashes and burns." This was first coined when jet technology in aircraft was being developed in the late-30s and 40s but it has proven to be the same result with most "bleeding edge" technologies ever since.

my observation is same. one (minor) example: looked up info of a weapon from MMORPG i play and since google first posts LLM stuff I checked it. well... according to LLM that weapon is a shield... (caster staff is actual weapon). and that's just one minor BS from LLM i saw. and then you look how many people take BS from LLM as "fact"... We're SO FUCKED.

Don't worry about it. Less hits means the whole current internet business (ads) will crumble if they let AI replace actual websites. Which means even Google and Co will lose money and AI data sources. They have to bring a better solution.

Milosz Skowronski

Don't worry, this won't last. Google also confirmed it's bleeding money because of the AI it implemented (because you can't run ads in AI outputs) and when Anthropic announced its IPO the investment rating companies immediately gave it basically junk rating. And since Anthropic is really the most useful and brings in the most revenue out of the AI companies, and yet they are still losing tons of money and spooking the investors, it all won't last much longer. The AI bubble is popping, and anything AI that doesn't bring in money is going to be axed (especially AI generated art, since it's incredibly compute-intensive and not worth the compute power - artists are underpaid as it is, so there's literally no money to be made there). The only viable use for AI that I can see surviving the pop is: translation, since it's very cheap on compute; large online support chatbot providers, since they can charge corporations through the roof and still make it worth it for them to use their AI; and academic and government use. That's it. So just hang in there a little longer.
