1: Hold on there. Sure, GPT-3 generates a novel a second, but most of those words are useless. We're going to need a few more advancements before it really becomes a threat to creativity.SerethiaFalcon wrote: ↑Wed Sep 15, 2021 3:01 am That's amazing Yuli! My one thought, though, was, if it is generating that much content every second, it would quickly outrun physical storage, even the best digital storage they have. I wonder what will happen about that? Another interesting thought is, at what point will humanity's entire contribution on the internet be overwhelmed by AI (meaning our contribution to text is in the 0.00001% range)? If this is anything to go by, then it would be less than a year, I'd imagine. The political, social, etc ramifications of this stuff are going to be insane. Even the Trump era will seem tame compared to what will happen I bet. Lol!
Also, I found it fascinating that as this AI has risen, human creative output has dropped. I read in the comments that one individual mentioned they thought it was because people were realizing they are not as good as AI and are dropping out of producing anything. What do you think Yuli (or anyone else that wants to chime in)? That was sort of expected, sort of not for me. I know there are quite a few in the creative community that are only doing creative work as a hobby and/or as a way to make more money on the side, so I could see both those groups dropping out of creative production, for the most part. The only ones that remain will probably be ones that have a huge passion for it, or for those that have a job writing.
2: On that note, I'm an example of this myself. At first, I considered giving up writing and decided to just work my day-job until synthetic media matured, but I since decided to do the opposite: return to writing and exploit the early days of synthetic media for my own benefit. And then when it was maturing, I'd have loads of material to synthesize
If I can admit anything, knowing just how disruptive AI will be in the next few years and how it'll directly impact my own field has allowed me to adopt a sort of Antiquity-esque mindset not dissimilar to the old Greeks where I've started caring less about the acquisition of wealth even though I know exactly how to break on through (though to be fair, I'm considering going that route again and have been putting it off; the idea has been to exploit AI for that purpose as well). My mind's been stuck on the inevitabilities of synthetic media more than anything else lately.
