I really dislike the comparison. The printing press democratized knowledge. The LLM destroys it. LLM output is perfect white noise. Enough of it will drown out all signal. And the worst part is that it’s impossible to distinguish it from real human output.
I mean think about it. Amazon had to stop publishing BOOKS because it can no longer separate the signal from the noise. The printing press was the birth of knowledge for the people and the LLM is the death.
