In 20 years, 80% of the books at Barnes & Noble will be written by Al, but that’s fine—humans will still be in charge of pulping the trees and pressing the paper they’re printed on.
>everything will get shittier in ways that nobody wants and there's nothing anyone can do about itI know that every generation believes that it's reached the end of history, but how do you cognize information like this without some apocalyptic emotion? In less than a generation it will be impossible to tell whether a piece of text was written by a human or an LLM. A few generations after, the idea of art as a means of connecting one human's experience with another will be utterly gone. There will of course always be a dedicated minority of people who care enough to preserve the tradition, but it will no longer have any power in the consciousness of the world. So this is it? Millennia of human reverence for the written word, and now it's dead? And I get to watch it die in my lifetime?
>>24936234Walk into a B&N right now, so much of that shit is already clearly not written entirely by real people, especially in the fantasy and similar sections. Judge it all by its cover too, that probably isn’t real either.
>>24936206No, they won't. All A.I. books will be print-on-demand books. Barnes & Nobles doesn't stock this since the publisher doesn't print them en masse and sell them at wholesale to book stores.In order for your scenario to happen, you would need actual publishers to print A.I. books. That's probably not going to happen.
>>24936206Who cares, people aren't people anymore anyway.
>>24936234>n less than a generation it will be impossible to tell whether a piece of text was written by a human or an LLM.I think you're giving way too much charity to AI. It is very easy to spot, and in any event, cannot create on its own. It can only generate hodgepodge from pre-existing texts. Anything new is still going to come from humans, and new things are very easy to recognize for their novelty.
>>24937224The blackpill is that 90 percent of people will not be able to spot it despite it being easy
>>24936206Is the cover of Ingram by Louis CK made by AI?
>>24936206Cool tree
>>24937224>>24937257How do you tell? Art I feel is super easy to spot. Written? I'm not sure if I can tell. Is there a tell like how AI can't do hands?
