I’m calling it now: the slop feedback loop is going to ruin the Internet.
Look at the second toot in this thread: Google’s AI Assistant got the gasoline recipe from AI generated content.

@chockenberry there's only one solution: mentat training.
A Mentat was a profession or discipline that was developed as a replacement to the computers and thinking machines following the Butlerian Jihad that banned the creation of machines in the human mind's image, just as the Spacing Guild and the Bene Gesserit took up similar functions. Gilbertus Albans displayed the first cognitive thinking and computer-like calculation capacity necessary for a Mentat, and founded the Order of Mentats. In the aftermath of the Butlerian Jihad, computers and other fo

I like this. It captures what's going on here perfectly.
@chockenberry it was always doomed for this to happen, I could predict it. I do not understand how these tech bros didn’t….except if the use case they are throwing us is an output red herring/con.

I think its main purpose is as a weapon.
Just as crypto was really a weapon.
