If as seems likely most people outsource their writing in future to LLMs it will be a terrible development not because the writing of LLMs is bad (it may improve in future) but because the point of writing is not just to express oneself but to actually discover what it is you really believe by undergoing a meditative process of reflecting and revising your ideas. This is completely different from thinking you know what you want to say at the outset and having a machine instantly produce it for you.
@GarethDennis There is something so unsettling about these AI generated graphics and I just don’t understand why the people who produce it don’t see it. Psychically sick is a good description
Rachel Reeves, the actual chancellor was found to have lied on her CV and plagiarised a book and there were not weeks of articles hounding her and we all know why.
If you enjoyed the Autochrome of artist Claude Monet, which I shared with you in June, you may be interested to learn that I've found this new one of the great man, taken in 1917 by Étienne Clémentel in Monet's garden at Giverny.
I've given it a good clean-up for you! I have to say: for an artist renowned for his use of colour, he is dressed surprisingly drably! Nevertheless, this is a very rare colour shot of the great man. It was taken using an early colour glass-plate process and isn't colourised.
This paper gives a fancy name to a problem you can already feel in your bones
"The Tragedy of the Cognitive Commons." Checking AI output requires deep expertise. Deep expertise comes from doing grunt work for years. And grunt work is the first thing AI eats
So we're building systems that need expert supervision while dismantling the only known process for making experts
The paper calls the shared pool of human expertise the "cognitive commons." Every profession drinks from it. Nobody's refilling it.
By eliminating junior roles, each company is acting totally rationally, and the collective result: a profession that can't catch AI's mistakes anymore because it never learned to do the work in the first place
Who checks AI's homework in 15 years?
@trauma_kitty@zobiwankenobii@offbeatorbit Yes, we have these, eg every three years women are invited for a cervical screening. Other screenings are based on age and other factors.
@ThatOtherTom1@edzitron No I get what he’s trying to say but they way he worded it made no sense- he uses first person to refer to both himself and the employee in the same sentence
