Seeing more news over time of writers losing jobs, and websites / companies moving towards AI written articles.

We have absolutely no plans to have any kind of AI written articles and never will. More and more emails are coming in offering them and they all go in the bin.

The likes of Gizmodo, Kotaku and more all seems to have plans for it and the list will only grow over time. Good time to remember to support the smaller sites you read.

At some point there’s going to need to be browser plugins to warn people about sites using AI writing bullshit.

@gamingonlinux firstly, ai detectors arent wver really gonna work because there’s more commercial benefit in developing ones that can’t be detected so more money will be sunk there. Secondly, is AI writing that bad? If all you want is facts and information then it can provide it in a way that is efficient, and with a potential for less bias than humans have. Additionally it means it can be provided in multiple languages accurately and probably much more. I think it could be good.

@gamingonlinux additionally to address the point of writers losing jobs, yes that will happen, but that happens with any new technology that revolutionizes industries. New jobs will replace it. Take for example the printing press. Do you not think lots of scribes lost jobs to it? It is still seen as good.

@jumper775 @gamingonlinux AI writing has a few flaws, and as more sites and companies use it, models that scrape the web to learn will risk model collapse. With fewer human writers generating content we have less to create models from for cheep. This is a short term solution for these companies that will lead to a collapse of their industry in the long run if they keep it up too long.

@kayrae_42 @gamingonlinux perhaps there will be a new type of job which will replace lost ones where people will generate original content to train AI on. I agree this practice isn’t sustainable without modification, but it could absolutely be modified to be sustainable. I do believe some form of this is the future, and it will bring many benefits.

@jumper775 @gamingonlinux in its current system, fully replacing journalists, original content creators. No. A new market won’t spring up because it wouldn’t benefit shareholders. Culture creation and profits don’t always mix. Ai has benefits, but the way these companies implement it to completely replace human creativity will just create harm for the ai development, themselves, and us.

@gamingonlinux i would like to have a browser plugin detecting even human written bullshit. Maybe that is even more important^^

@gamingonlinux

Do these sites realize that AI developed content has no copyright?
