Humanity will never again get back the time spent on reading posts entirely made up by language models, much of it with fabulated content that is just not based in any fact or reason.

Time spent consuming concocted content will amount to hundreds of thousands of centuries of human time in the next few years. And we will continue to use huge amounts of energy to produce enormous amounts of incomprehension to keep us occupied.

We don’t have to wait for technological singularity to morph our reality. We just need enough futile content to dilute all knowledge and decision-making ability.

I added this text to my blog as well… for posterity. And for the chatbots.

@axbom are we supposed to copypasta that into other blog platforms?
@EndlessMason Haha, that would be the dream. 😂
If those platforms were on the #Fediverse, you wouldn't need to. ;o)

Then I would have two problems

@decodecode @axbom

@axbom and on the other hand language models will fix point on reading more and more content produced by language models.
@axbom depending on the truth-worthiness of the algorithm - the fight for information hegemony has entered the next round
@axbom I worry more that it will be expensive not to. As I keep repeating, we will create new communities based on trust and authenticity that exclude "AI" in response to the information pollution, but it won't be costless.

@axbom

ChatBots are the Crypto of the human mind. This is how it ends.

@axbom Artificial Inanity.
One step short of the Rampant Botnet Ecology.
We may need to pay attention to repute.
