Well, that's what these language models do in a nutshell. If you think social media and blogs are bad in terms of misinformation, this is the same thing rehashed by a machine that can not actually think or judge for itself (which to be fair, is arguably almost on a level already with how some humans interact with information they consume online).

I asked some controversial questions and the answers are interesting to say the least. The source is often reddit, random sites that are probably the top search engine result or some yellow press outlet.

This is something that makes me a bit uneasy as someone who lives from a blog.

I make the phone calls to gather and synthesise information that previously wasn't online. I don't like the idea of AI just paraphrasing my work without credit, and getting it wrong to top things off. It's bad enough when Google and lazy SEO copywriters do it. I do the work, they get the value.

I feel the same as a programmer (though I'm no longer a professional one). I didn't release all that open source code to train a for-profit AI.

I'd be even more upset if an AI was used to immitate my artwork and deny me the recognition. Thankfully I'm not that skilled.

I've seen convincing counter arguments to this, but I can't help feeling wronged by it. I feel like it enables a few to rob many of the fruits of their labour at an unprecedented scale.

I'd rather not be attributed if it's getting things wrong.
