Google researchers have come out with a new paper that warns that generative AI is ruining vast swaths of the internet with fake content — which is painfully ironic because Google has been hard at work pushing the same technology to its enormous user base.
The call is coming from inside the house.
It’s in the fracking ship!!
Google: “how dare someone else be better at ruining the internet than us”
Facebook: “Hold my beer. I’ll show you who’s the real cancer of the internet.”
I think twitter took the throne
LLM is the insanely productive content creator. We can’t say how much of the web is generated by it at any moment (and that’s ignoring older copypaste articles), but the organic material one wants to prioritise in machine learning gets significantly reduced. This tech, if not isolated from it’s learning material, is predictably falling into a feedback loop, and at each cycle it is going to get worse.
Surprisingly, pre LLM-boom datasets can probably become more valuable than contemporary ones.
I remember reading that from 2021-2023, LLMs generated more text than all humans had published combined - so arguably, actually human generated text is going to be a rarity
This person already has a vague sounding meeting on their calendar from an HR rep, their supervisor, and maybe a VP. To align vision and expectations.
Ironic.
“Google looking for a different guy to blame for search enshitifiaction when internal documents point to them ruining it long before ai was a problem”
What’s the reverse of Obama giving Obama a medal?
Obama taking it back from Obama? It may as well be the same picture.
Isn’t Google now just pointing on someone else ruining the net?
We’re all trying to find the guy who did this!
The paper arxiv.org/pdf/2406.13843
Its AI, not google, reddit, musk, meta…just AI
they knew…
The paper: “I’m gonna nail you, sucker. I’m gonna grind you up”

It‘s like they‘re releasing the manual for what they‘re doing.

It’s like a free ride when you’ve already paid

It’s like a good advice that you just didn’t take
