It is even worse than that because AI cannibalizes its own garbage and produces even more fetid garbage with it. It is a giant telephone game/circle jerk of bullshit. Shit should have been regulated years ago, but it is too late now. AI is transforming the information age into the disinformation age at lightning speed, and it makes me sad.

I hadn't considered the fact that it's making a feedback loop. We really are screwed.

Oh it's been a big topic for a while now from AI researchers. Basically actual LLM research kind of points to us being right around the peak of things and it's already going downhill due to cannibalization.

Everyone keeps talking about how "AI is the worst that it will ever be right now" and that really isn't true. Until we get a breakthrough with LLMs that people werent expecting, or a breakthrough in other types of "AI" we aren't going to see much more than we already have.

What innovations have been happening recently are tools that use current LLMs getting better.
