We need some sort of internet 2.0 but I can't tell how or even if we could prevent AI bots from entering. Maybe via passport IDs that identify you as human, but nothing stops you from using an AI afterwards. Maybe we can create some sort of label or award, you only get if at least X% of your work is done by humans? So people could see right away if you're just copy pasting and AI writing or are real researchers and press? But I guess without more transparency there's no green grass. Sadly bad press is no stopping ground anymore either, we used to sack people and companies closed in shame. Nowadays they just keep going and people forget after a day.

I think I the end it isn’t going to matter. For the record: I share your sentiments and I’m not a fan of what I’m about to say but placing a premium on “human made” isn’t measuring a meaningful metric.

We will have to begin to evolve our understanding of value to include things that are made, in part or in whole my machines. There will stilll be good things and bad things regardless of their provenance.

I often think of the use of autotune in music. In the one end of the spectrum you have Cher’s 2000s classic Do you believe… on the other end of the spectrum you have Bon Iver’s basically entire body of work.

Each person can decide which is good.

For me it is very clear.

Basically I think that we are witnessing a dichotomy between content and art, with or without generative AI and I like to believe that art will win. Whatever that might mean.
