@rodhilton exactly. this is the point i think everyone’s been missing. so far all the narratives have been “look how much more content a single person can produce!” but in my mind it’s just spitting out garbage faster. just more to tune out IMO.

@ben @rodhilton I'm seeing this occur on #Amazon as well, where some niche books are obviously being augmented with generated text. The low quality wastes the readers time and money. I've stopped buying newly released, unreviewed books because of it

@peteo @ben every day I see some thing about how you can build an entire side hustle by having ChatGPT write a children's book for you, pay someone on Fiverr to illustrate it, and then upload it to Amazon's print-on-demand book service

@rodhilton Why not have "AI" do the illustrations as well? 😉

@ben @rodhilton it will self-amplify as training sets begin to be overwhelmingly generated content, too
