This is Kyle Hill's video on the predicted impact of AI-generated content on the internet, especially as it becomes more difficult to tell machine from human over text and video. He relays that experts say within a year huge portions of online content will be AI-generated. What do you guys think? Do you care that you may soon be having discussions/arguments with chatbots more often than not on popular platforms like Reddit, X, YouTube, etc?
I didn’t get past the part where he started talking about the dark forest theory as if it “solved” the Fermi paradox. The Fermi paradox is an observation, the dark forest theory is a theory. Worse, actually, it’s considered a hypothesis. I was willing to sit down for the 15 min video. Why blow your credibility in the first sentences.
Unfortunately the Dark Forest thing is super popular right now, so it gets the clicks.
Which is rather annoying, IMO, because as Fermi Paradox solutions go it's riddled with holes and implausibilities. But it's scary, and so people latch on to it easily.
