    Imagine if writers did the same things by writing gibberish.

    At some point, it becomes pretty easy to devalue that content and create other systems to filter it.

      I mean isn’t that eventually going to happen? Isn’t ai going to eventually learn and get trained from ai datasets and small issues will start to propagate exponentially?

      I just assume we have a clean dataset preai and messy gross dataset post ai… If it keeps learning from the latter dataset it will just get worse and worse, no?

        Not really. It’s like with humans. Without the occasional reality checks it gets weird, but what people chose to upload is a reality check.

        The pre-AI web was far from pristine, no matter how you define that. AI may improve matters by increasing the average quality.
