… yeah that’s sounds pretty bad.
Comment on I just wanted to know how bad Lead really is and end up here
ThunderComplex@lemmy.today 4 days agoWhat tripped me up was that out of 17 sources, 11 are dated 2025. Granted, I don’t usually look closely at the sources section, but this spread feels unusual. Also the user seems to be using LLMs not just for this one page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Daniel_Mizen

Fuck. Ever read Anathem by Neal Stephenson? They can’t use the internet anymore because it’s so rife with misinformation created by AI (they used a different term in the book iirc) that it is inherently useless.

I’m not a huge reader so no, I haven’t, but it sure does sound interesting. As long as we have shitposts tho I think the internet is not yet prone to becoming entirely useless, at least for now.

Yeah, not yet; hopefly not ever. In the book the tech was eventually used by governments to rewrite everything on the web to be in line with their propaganda so anything posted would be rowlitten multiple times by bots.

Pretty much right out of 1984.

Are they poisonous?

Ok but if this thing happened right now that would be pretty good for us actually. If LLMs rewrite everything, this only leaves LLM output as training data for the next LLMs, leading to relatively fast model collapse, and basically popping the AI bubble with TNT.
