IAs generativas são ótimas para tirar dúvidas triviais, algo que se tornou inviável no Google, onde crescemos fazendo esse tipo de pesquisa, pelos incentivos do próprio Google para a infestação de sites de baixa qualidade — o proverbial tiro no próprio pé.

As inteligências artificiais se mostram alternativas melhores aos sites de busca como o Google, porque este tem levado cada vez mais a conteúdo duvidoso e de baixa qualidade. Mas com os modelos de linguagem se alimentando destes mesmos sites de gosto e veracidade duvidosos, não será apenas questão de tempo até que os resultados de IA também sejam vítimas de enshitification?
- What happens to our trust in media when our capacity to generate it artificially improves to the point where we can produce indistinguishable fakes?

- Is an online relationship as honest, open and palpable as a face-to-face relationship? Does the absence of taste, touch, smell – or blood, sweat and tears for that matter – make a difference in the quality of what is experienced? Is immersion in a video game or chat room the same as playing a game on a wet grassy field, or congregating with an in-p... See more

- We were accustomed, in the age of photoshop, to false negatives, fakes perceived as real.

in many ways, we do not need super-powerful AIs for the transformation of work. We already have more capabilities inherent in today’s Gen2/GPT-4 class systems than we have fully absorbed. Even if AI development stopped today, we would have years of change ahead of us integrating these systems into our world.

- What happens to our trust in media when our capacity to generate it artificially improves to the point where we can produce indistinguishable fakes?
This creates a wave of "Skepticism," leading to what I term "False Positive Reality." In this state, our pervasive skepticism makes us doubt even the real labeling it as artificial, simulated, fake—real... See morefrom Everything is default fake — 13101401 Inc. by JUSTICE THELOT

“A pile of narrow intelligences will never add up to a general intelligence. General intelligence isn’t about the number of abilities, but about the integration between those abilities.”

I guess I’m a little more LLM-skeptical than your average geek, but I read the list of features and thought: Would this sort of thing accelerate my mobile-device-upgrade latency, which at the moment is around three years? Um, no. Anyone’s? Still dubious.
Quite possibly I’m wrong. Maybe there’ll be a wave of influencers raving about how AI/GG improve

LLMs são mesmo necessários? E mesmo que sejam, seriam o selling point pra fazer alguém trocar de dispositivo?
