Although recent (and decades-old) research has found that humans struggle to tell the difference between responses from machines and humans, recent findings suggest that artificial intelligence can...

Observing these patterns of influence gives clues about how our models generalize from their training data. For instance, if the models responded to user prompts by splicing together sequences from the training set, then we’d expect the influential sequences for a given model response to include expressions of near-identical thoughts. Conversely,... See more

This whole post is very good. I don’t know whether Dustin is a canary or not, but he’s poking at some things I’ve been feeling to some degree.
The choice is not between AI and human intelligence. It is between information ecosystems that sustain both and information ecosystems that degrade both. The research is clear on where current trajectories lead. The strategic question is what to do about it.
