Holy shit, this.

I’m constantly worried that what I’m seeing/hearing is fake. It’s going to get harder and harder to find older information on the internet too.

Shit, it’s crept outside of the internet actually. Family buys my kids books for Christmas and birthdays and I’m checking to make sure they aren’t AI garbage before I ever let them look at it because someone bought them an AI book already without realizing it.

I don’t really understand what we hope to get from all of this. I mean, not really. Maybe if it gets to a point where it can truly be trusted, I just don’t see how.

Well, even among the most moral devs, the garbage output wasn't intended, and no one could have predicted the pace at which it's been developing. So all this is driving a real need for in-person communities and regular contact—which is at least one great result, I think.
