It's worrying to read such anxiety, but take heart that
your premises are wrong.
LLMs are not "taking over". We're in another technology hype cycle.
Unlike block-chains this one is more understandable by the masses, and
more worrying to media types who always breathlessly trumpet
everything. They now feel their jobs threatened (even more) by the
race to the bottom of low quality crap that global corporatism
ultimately produces.
If you go outside, take your head out of your phone, and walk around,
in a few hours you will see no evidence whatsoever that "everything is
artificially generated".
There is no "new world" afoot, no more than there was new world when
the printing press, steam engine or microprocessor arrived. It will
be the same old world with some people trying to make benevolent use
of technology, some cynically exploiting it for nothing but money, and
the vast majority bumbling cluelessly along without care for the
consequences one way or another.
> where i see there isn't anything as truth. nothing has come from
human experience, suffering, it just simply is created by AI. I
can't wrap my head around this. how to make sense of it.
Truth was always hard to find. There will be less "easy and
convenient truth". And all that generative AI does is regurgitate
reconfigurations of all the human experience it has been fed with.
I think what you, and many others are feeling and fearing is not
existential or epistemological crisis, but a massive rejection of all
the derelict values that brought us to this shallow, empty juncture.
It's probably good that dies. We simply do not value truth any more
anyway. It's good that you're questioning that.
