I'd like to reiterate that you have no right to delete your content off the StackExchange network. You may be able to sue OpenAI for violating the license of your contributions, but the chances are slim at best. I myself even license my StackExchange contributions as Public Domain, so I retain no rights whatsoever.
But regardless of any legal aspects, I just think genAI should be outlawed altogether because its output is deceptive bullshit that poisons the pool of information upon which we'll be trying to build our future digital infrastructure, and now we'll have to spend decades if not centuries auditing and fixing all the bullshit that AI has put there, so that we may one day have a solid foundation to build on again.
Ori@siguza lol we don’t need genai for that. We’re doing a pretty “good” job already
@Orik yeah, but now we're outnumbered one to a trillion.
Nikita Abdullin@0xABD @Orik I feel like OpenAI is still in the "growth at a loss" phase, and I wonder what happens once they start hiking up the prices. (There's others in theory, but they seem to be so far behind that OpenAI looks like it currently has a near-monopoly?)
In the long term, I wonder whether AI will be incorporated into the enshittification cycle. Founding a startup where most tasks are done by AI sounds like it might trick a few people into giving you money, but not terribly many, and probably not for long. Founding a real company with a lot of human employees, gaining a lot of customers, then replacing most humans with AI sounds like it'd get you a lot further... until the "trust thermocline" where you lose too many customers, and then you'll discover that you've long lost any real know-how so you cannot save the company, so the hedge funds that own you let you got down in favour of this other startup that is now employing real humans for a few years before it will pivot to AI for everything...
