I keep hearing people say AI generated text "will get better” as if that’s a known, accepted fact.
But it's not a known, accepted fact. Massive language model AI text generators have been around for YEARS, and they've always been this bad, this prone to lying, this full of shit. We’re just getting it shoved in our faces now.
“It will get better” is a bet, not a statement of fact, and I bet against it.
Google did not roll this out now because it was good, they rolled it out now because Bing did it first and they panicked. They also fired all the people who had been saying, no, it's not ready yet, even though those people were right then, and they're still right now.
And Bing only rolled it out because they had a search engine nobody gave a shit about and had to try something desperate because they need eyeballs to put ads next to.
Capitalism is why we're all seeing this shit now. Capitalism.
People ask me, what’s it like being right all the time?
And I always tell them, it’s awesome, actually.
