    The problem is that you do need to keep training models for this to make sense.

    And you always need at least some human editorialization of models, otherwise the model will just say whatever, learn from itself and degrade over time. This cannot be done by other AIs, so for now you still need humans to make sure the AI models are actually getting useful information.

    The problem with this, which many have already pointed out, is that it makes AIs just as unreliable as any traditional media. But if you don’t oversee their datasets at all and just allow them to learn from everything then they’re even more useless, basically just replicating social media bullshit, which nowadays is like at least 60% AI generated anyway.

    So yeah, the current model is, not surprisingly, completely unsustainable.

    The technology itself is great though. Imagine having an AI that you can easily train at home on 100s of different academic papers, and then run specific analyses or find patterns that would be too big for humans to see at first. Also imagine the impact to the medical field with early cancer detection or virus spreading patterns, or even DNA analysis for certain diseases.

    It’s also super good if used for creative purposes (not for just generating pictures or music). So for example, AI makes it possible for you to sing a song, then sing the melody for every member of a choir, and fine tune all voices to make them unique. You can be your own choir, making a lot of cool production techniques more accessible.

    I believe once the initial hype dies down, we stop seeing AI used as a cheap marketing tactic, and the bubble bursts, the real benefits of AI will become apparent, and hopefully we will learn to live with it without destroying each other lol.
