Christopher Brennan, editor-in-chief, Deepnews.ai, fears the anticipated torrent of posts from GPT-3 and similar auto-text generators could render the Internet ever-more crass.
Brennan: “When I think about what the Internet may become with AI-generated text from commercial and other applications, I think about tourist traps like New York City’s Times Square”.
“You go to Times Square and are surrounded by different things competing for your attention and your money – from guides hawking bus tours, to the army of aggressive Elmos that want you to pay to take a picture, to the white glow of 1,000 advertisements merging into one, unified spotlight”.
“The problem with a flood of AI-generated content is that it may turn all (Internet) streets into Times Square – whether you realize it or not”.
