Summary: The concept of a technological singularity involves AI creating even smarter successors, leading to a point where human intelligence is surpassed. Large Language Models (LLMs) are thought by some to kickstart this process by generating vast amounts of new knowledge. However, concerns arise that LLMs will predominantly produce low-quality content for commercial use, leading to an overwhelming amount of misleading information online. This cycle risks perpetuating an “enshittification at scale,” where discerning truth from falsehood becomes increasingly challenging on the internet.

Human nature being what it is, LLMs are inevitably going to be used to churn out vast amount of low quality ‘content’ for SEO and other commercial purposes. LLM nature being what it is, a lot of this content is going to be hallucinated. In otherwords, bullshit. Given that LLMs can generate content vastly faster than humans can, we could quickly end up with an Internet that is mostly bullshit. Which will then be used to train the next generation of LLM. We will eventually reach a bullshit singularlity, where it is almost impossible to work out whether anything on the Internet is true. Enshittification at scale. Well done us. (View Highlight)
