Kind of like why patent counting, rather than quality, is deceptive.

I see that as a different problem: getting the general public to accept a falsehood - versus tailoring the falsehoods to the individual. Both are serious concerns in my view. Yours is more immediate but AI is moving fast.

As an example of my concern, if a future Copilot were trained on JIm, it might feed him anti-Qualcomm and pro-Apple answers if was trained to maximize engagement and had learned such answers generate more questions. Or, it might give pro-Qualcomm answers to please JIm because marketing had learned that increased the probability of subscription renewal.

Not only that, all the real news is heading behind paywalls.

However, one will soon be able to buy such real news via an AI subscription which may or may not be driven by paid publishing.

Someone has to pay for the publishing effort. If the reader won't pay the writer has little choice but to find a source of income via other parties.

It's the laissez-faire economic way. Data is the key to learning and the focus there will now shift from all encompassing to that of real value. Real value will always be subjective.

By reading this thread I betcha an AI can tell when it's Friday.

ps I guess that capability isn't quite ready ... yet. share.google

From my email today: The Economist's word of the year for 2025 is slop. Used to describe AI generated junk that's clogging the internet. The writer goes on to suggest that either platforms will get serious about content moderation or users will shut them out, and maybe subscribe to a respectable newspaper, while describing that idea as sloptimism.
