I wonder if as more and more online content is AI generated, it will be harder to find human generated content to train the AI's on? Like a cumulative echo effect.
I've actually wondered if a job may exist in the future that's effectively just AI documentation. That's already what you have with power users on, say, Stack Overflow providing a ton of content that ChatGPT basically reprints; they don't even get paid for it.
The cool and interesting thing about that theoretical job is that the writers of it wouldn't have to write well; they could just slop out a ton of information and ChatGPT could clean it up and make it consumable.
I can see how that could happen. But AI presumably knows how to output well written text because it's trained on well written text. If it's fed it's own output, I imagine that quality could degrade over time.
Maybe it’s happening now. It would be interesting to see some weekly figures for published Stack Overflow articles, to see if they’re in decline.
There are so many unknowns with this whole subject. How much it will help or hinder society as a whole is a rollercoaster ride that we’re all strapped into, whether anyone asked for it.
