I give Reddit and Twitter a year, maybe two, before 99% of the discourse is non-human. There's not going to be any stopping it without strict identification - state ID, driver's license, passport. The days of pseudonymity look to be not long for this earth.
Its funny because Moot, when asked about the importance of free speech and anonymity, he exclaimed that anonymity is what enables people to speak their truth, as it removes the risk of retribution to their IRL personal existence.
I wonder if this enablement of chatgpt and paired with anonymity will drive the signal to noise ratio down to a point where curated dialogues must be had.
People get up, goto jobs, grow food, make art, procreate, build machines.
The world is not the literal dystopia of 1984, but the reliance on coded, simple minded chants to understand the world is alive and well. Just looking for oneself is far too raw, too real, and uncouth for the sensible, educated man. I do declare.
I like this. The big platforms will become nothing but a sea of noise, and that'll self-select those with good information to platforms that ChatGPT is incompatible with.
100% agree on the value prop of AI. The next decade -- even year -- of AI development is going to be astonishing in terms of what it delivers. I don't think we even understand or appreciate the full scope of what's about to happen.
But there will also be entire categories of old human behaviors and businesses that can now be jammed and made less fun. Social media is just one of them.
Sure, you can respond with something like "No worries, it was a nice try at humor. Keep up the good work!" or "Haha, it's all good. I appreciate the effort you put into trying to make it funny."
It's always good to be understanding and encouraging when someone tries to be funny, even if it doesn't land as well as they expected.
