"I believe what I said at the start, that if something has value, a person will be willing to spend time on it." so, we have common ground.

I think only way we really differ is that I don't believe in preventing others from seeing AI writing because I saw it and decided it doesn't have value for me. Instead, I leave it to them to decide. I let the "great filter" of quality do its job.

My point from the start was. People flag content generated by AI as bad, when they don't even read the content themselves to determine if it is bad. It's a bias reaction. they are trying to curb the tide of AI use. The reality is, they can't. What they can do, is decide for themselves if what they see is valuable or not, and react accordingly. the truly bad stuff will fail. the good stuff will succeed.

Though, a few hours ago my original belief was it may take a little while before people who insta-reject AI writing are fooled into thinking the writing was done by a human... but it would seem based on other comments in this thread, people already can't tell what is written by people or llm.

That seems far more concerning. based solely on the other comment, I bet somewhere out there, people who use no AI at all and are getting labeled as AI writers and auto blocked by those individuals with their anti-AI guard up.

none of my responses have been llm generated. the grammatical mistakes, lack of punctuation, and proper capitalization alone should have been clue enough for you. the fact that you believe my responses are llm generated tells me that the people downvoting AI writing aren't actually qualified to detect AI writing. Irony.

I have no affiliation to or care about the original site.

to be completely clear, i posted an article i thought was very relevant to things i care about and someone flagged it as ai drivel. but it was in fact valuable information worthy of being shared.

so i did some searches to see if people are actually against ai being used in writing and found this article. posted here to see peoples opinions. So, far id say its not so easy. some are okay with it, some are against.

I'd urge you not to be so close minded, and not to straw man other people who have different views than you.

People once thought cars we dumb toys for rich people and completely impractical forms of transportation given the state of the roads and economy at the time. Look at society today.

People also once thought the internet was a fad. And, steel-manning your point. we had a dot com bubble. never-the-less the whole world runs on the internet today. Arguably for the better. Many innovations around the world have been due to digitally shared information.

Just because some people try to use it to get rich, doesn't mean the world wont be the better for it. I'm just looking at the big picture. sure, some people will use AI poorly... their businesses, and ideas, and blogs, etc.. they wont last. some people will use AI well, and they will. Either way. people are going to use AI, for everything.

My experience is the mostly the same. I find some people hate it just because. Personally, I don't care what or who wrote the information I am reading so long as it is as accurate / truthy as can be at the time.

While I don't disagree that lots of people are using AI to turn out slop that is unreviewed, uninteresting drivel... and often times out right trash. There are others which take the time to use AI to do good things. As I mentioned in my comment. AI is literally used in every part of peoples day, even if they don't realize it. Eventually, AI will be so good enough at doing the writing you won't be able to tell, even when it is used by those people who put in no effort to make their content good when they use it.

while this : "The easiest way to fix this is to improve the quality of life of people in the US." sounds good. I think the practical challenge will be attribution. If the application of AI across society does result in the improvement of the quality of life across people in the US (and other countries) how will people realistically attribute it to AI and therefore reduce the AI trust crisis?

I think the answer is: people have to help improve their own lives, and when AI can help them do that legitimately, then I think they will.

Do or don't, either way people are going to have to accept it.

AI is used in literally everything in society at this point. You drive to work, AI enhanced navigation, or even self-driving cars. You take a photo on your mobile phone, AI enhanced images. You screw up the text in your group chat with your friends, AI enhanced text correction. You browse for products in your favorite online store, AI cross-product suggestions. The Ads you see on said favorite online store, AI selected. The songs and the order they are played on your favorite music app... likely AI selected.

every bit of text, video, audio, and still imagery has, at some point in the chain, likely been touched by AI. And, if it hasn't today... in time it will be.

Every facet of society is being optimized via AI. Maybe to many people's chagrin. Never-the-less, the AI turns. So, my take... rather than resist the inevitable, carry on doing what you've always done. filter and choose the better product, service, content. The genuinely bad will fail, AI generated or not.

a direct quote: "the most accurate criticism of AI companies including Anthropic is that we haven't yet delivered on our big promises to benefit the world."

The trust crisis is more than just who gets to run what models. It about what those models can and actually do accomplish. The average person isn't actually doing anything wowing with models. let alone concerned they might hack a business or conspire with other models. They are still trying to figure out how to make those models simplify their job roles and make their businesses more money. The promises are high, the delivery on those promises not so much. Instead the focus should be on shipping things that actually work and provide business value. Model intelligence and capabilities have arguably already passed the threshold required to do it. they just needs to be utilized.
