One example of useful output does not negate the flood of pollution. I’m not denying or downplaying the usefulness of AI. I am doubting the wisdom of blindly publishing -anything- without making at least a trivial attempt to ensure that it is useful and worth publishing. It is a form of pollution.
The problem is that it lowers the effort required to produce SEO spam and to “publish” to nearly zero, which creates a perverse incentive to shit on the sidewalk.
The amount of AI created, blatantly false blog posts about drug interactions, for example. Not advertising, just banal filler to create site visits, with dangerously false information.
It’s not like shitting on the sidewalk was never a problem before, it’s just that shitting on the sidewalk as a service (SOTSAAS) maybe is something we should try to avoid.
