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.

@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.
