I think it's already over. Fixing the destruction generative AI has wrought upon the Internet would be like unscrambling an egg. I'm an optimist when it comes to technology, but I also believe that being able to know what's real and what's not real is fundamental to survival as a species, and I think we've seeded our own destruction here. I'm confident buildings are already being built with formulas someone asked ChatGPT for help with, doctors and nurses are getting advice on how to diagnose and treat patients, subroutines are being copied and pasted into safety-critical software, etc. We put the lead in the gasoline, and we're going to face the consequences.
