Collapse faster, please. Sick of ai bullshit clogging up my searches.
The Internet is fucked now, the only valuable untainted training data is the Internet as it existed prior to this AI bullshit coming online. Confirmed human content is going to be super valuable, so expect our privacy to be fucked as well..
Did anyone take a copy?
The Internet Archive has some.
Even that is going to turn into a shit show ... It will become a copy of a copy of a copy of a backup of a backup of a copy and all of it will just get rendered down to some common basics based on whatever the hell was marketed and promoted by bots
The collapse won't stop ai output from spamming the internet though. It will just make it worse and more likely to be incorrect
We can just stop checking the internet for things
Really though, is does anyone know if/how Wikipedia is protecting itself from this?
It's not going to. It's just going to get more widespread and harder to detect. The incentives favor developing better and better AI. Luckily one of the solutions to this issue is - wait for it - AI. With a good enough AI, especially a generally intelligent one you don't need search engines anymore. You just ask and it gives you the answer. If you think AI couldn't do this reliably then that is not the AI I'm talking about.
