@tomw but if you added infinite auto-generated books we would get Shakespeare back. So there’s that. Just keep adding.

@carlosrodriguez Sadly AI is not even a good 'infinite monkey' because it produces the most statistically likely, ie. the most mediocre, text. At least the monkey might produce something unusual.

@tomw I disagree strictly in a probabilistic point of view since at leas the AI is producing real words against random characters.

But that’s not the point, the point is, at this stage AI will produce an immense amount of nonsense which will corrupt the body of knowledge we currently have. I agree with you.

But I wonder if that’s different from the nonsense humans have been producing online for the past few decades. Maybe in volume.
