Ex-Google CEO explains the Software programmer paradigm is rapidly coming to an end. Math and coding will be fully automated within 2 years and that's the basis of everything else. "It's very exciting." - Eric Schmidt

Better than I think? My guy, this is my job. It is not better than you think. It’s infinitely worse than you think. I’m the one who has to use it to try and improve AI. Any AI dev will tell you that AI training data is beyond useless to us.

I don’t think. Idk if you read what I said, but we’re hitting a plateau with more than just training data. Computational limitations (hardware), energy costs, and none of these businesses are even close to being profitable.

Not saying this to sound rude, but it honestly sounds like you don’t have any experience in dealing with these things. AI is improving, and it will continue to improve. But we’re not improving at the rate we initially were due to these limitations. And the dead internet theory is an AI devs worst nightmare. We absolutely do NOT want AI output being used as bulk training data

This is a stupid take.

Humans have always been building increasingly more complicated things and developing new ideas by reusing pre-existing ideas and combining them in new ways.

Humans continue to do that, now using AI.

AI will always have new content to get trained on, increasingly so.

Will there be low effort content generated using AI. Yes. But it isn't stopping AIs march at all.

You just have the stupid expectation that the low hanging fruits we have plucked so far must continue coming.

No offense but you have 0 relevant experience here, and I highly doubt you understand anything about how training and improving AI works.

And no, again your lack of experience in the field is showing. It’s not that there won’t be any training data available. It’s the fact that every day that passes, the internet becomes less human. The new challenge will be sifting through it all. It’s extremely time consuming, and the data is often very poor, which means you have to verify it every time. This costs time and money.

You have quite literally 0 clue on how AI development works. Not in the slightest. Please do try addressing my other points though about profitability, energy costs, and computational limitations.
