Casey NewtonDigital media is about to become such an AI hellscape, we are truly unprepared https://www.wsj.com/articles/buzzfeed-to-use-chatgpt-creator-openai-to-help-create-some-of-its-content-11674752660?st=no257w59nssvx9f&reflink=article_copyURL_share
Brian Dear@caseynewton Garbage in, garbage out, now just slicker.
Marcos Huerta@caseynewton Hmm, so far I think it's all going to be pretty obviously bad (e.g. CNET) and it'll just be a fad.
David Kobia@caseynewton if the content is actually providing value to the consumer, then does it matter if it was generated by AI?
Alan Twigz@dkobia @caseynewton The 'consumer' in this case is ad buyers so I really don't care if they're getting value out of making my feeds and searches less usable

asm@dkobia @caseynewton The problem i think is that almost no content is written to provide value to any audience other than search engines. Being able to auto-create reasonable but not necessarily accurate copies instantly of articles that search engines like will mean 100x the garbage we see on search engines today. Maybe good for fediverse. I think the solution will be trust based- essentially the opposite of crypto. That’s my naive hope anyway.
nelsonsa@caseynewton TBH I can't imagine ChatGPT being any worse than the quizzes they have at the moment. They might even make some sense now...
@caseynewton
“How to rid yourself from any credibility you might have had within a minute.”
I think it is about time we have kind of a “web of trust” for signing content and quotes thereof.

Russ@caseynewton My "remains focused on human-generated journalism" T-shirt...
@caseynewton someone is going to make ten billion dollars selling AI filters to filter out AI content
🌲🧿 "Max"t💽d🏵️n 🔎🍄@Quisley @caseynewton reverse card on AI...are THEY a human...
Massaging the Medium@caseynewton true. If we thought SEO and content marketing were bad…
Christopher Mims@caseynewton it already is! We just didn't realize until now.
tons of search results are already written by AI

vktonik@caseynewton AI art has spurred my own art output more in the last 5 months than anything else in the last 18 years since I graduated with my MFA in art
Colopen@caseynewton possibly naive, but I wonder if ppl will get tired of the sameness and saturation. I appreciate human made stuff even more now.
It's not AI but I am over using Google bc I have to scroll past so many weird spammy, poorly written, copy & paste sites. There's no actual reporting mechanism now
The Evil Microwizard@caseynewton oh my f*ucking g*od 😳😳😳😳😳😱🤯
BoredomFestival@caseynewton so. just a different sort of hellscape from the status quo, then
SloanLA@caseynewton BF thinks their problem is that NOT ENOUGH QUIZZES? When you have no leadership….

The primary role of a good search engine will be sorting real content, that has meaning and soul, from an endless stream of AI dross.

Tiffany Lee Brown (she/they)@caseynewton We've been unprepared for decades...
@caseynewton So true the signal to noise ratio will plummet. Search results are already garbage, now imagine 10,000 nlp copies of every article on the front page for any search term.
Alexander Ruthol@caseynewton
Social media especially will be overrun.

Noel Walling@caseynewton Not just digital media, unless there's some publication out there only printing handwritten articles.
Gregnee@caseynewton AI is pretty uninspiring when it comes to well-considered content. But shitposting would be much easier to simulate. Imagine a million AI chat accounts trained on shitposting.
