Perhaps GPT-4 is largely marketing and hype. It’s nice and all - yet over sold. More over-sold is the ‘speed’ or rate of innovation.
Again, AI’s (I still call it ML) greatest threat to people in the near term is hyper-targeting and malicious actors who can now mass produce human-enough content cheaply - that for all intensive purposes passes enough of a turing test to appear human generated.
Our brains effort required to critically dissect and identify as ML/Bot created has crossed a significant barrier - for anything we read now, it takes say two times as long to evaluate it’s origin/intent/source. Previously it was a fraction - easy to identify compared to the content itself.
Death by 1,000 cuts is the new reality. Not entirely new, as mass media already does this; however they largely failed at digital (poor revenue). Now it’s possible to make money other ways through similar manipulation digitally - again, with hyper-targeting.
The only way I know of adding a cost to the targeted content is (burnt) proof of work. Seems wasteful - yet I don’t know another way to combat the catastrophic drop in price to generate ML. Humans would pay this cost too - yet humans don’t mass produce, so it ideally should mostly negatively impact mass generated content.
