But LLMs aren't flawless; there's often a high chance where they're prone to hallucinations, screw up math, or they're stubbornly overconfident and refuse to admit mistakes, and generate buggy code that looks legit at first until you run it. The Internet's being mass-polluted with low-effort AI slop that's shoddy, unpolished and unreliable. Actual knowledge gets lost and buried under tons of plagiarized, half-baked, ad-ridden websites that SEO farms crank out just to get clicks. This vicious cycle feeds on itself since future models get trained on more and more inaccurate AI-generated info. Meanwhile, older websites with valuable info lose traffic and quietly die off without anyone really noticing. On top of all this, Reddit has recently been limiting the Wayback Machine from indexing most of its site over concerns of unapproved AI-scraping, which in return only strengthens their censorship which further limits access to view deleted posts and past discussions (as if the third-party API incident wasn't enough). Other websites might start doing the same thing (because of course they do), similar in nature to how intrusive age verifications, which require you to submit your selfie and/or credit card, are currently becoming normalized on popular social media platforms for example to completely kill anonymity, and this can be exploited to control the narrative using IP bans as a quick way to protect themselves from critics or whistleblowers. Big Tech loves AI for this very reason and abuses it as much as they can to fabricate a crisis so governors start putting more dystopian laws into effect, enforcing authoritarian regulations that make every CEO's wet power fantasy a reality.
I wonder how much sensitive information has been collected from prompts by now, people seem more afraid to open up to humans more honestly on taboo subjects than simply talking to a bot. Still, I don't find strangers on the Internet that trustworthy if they can't help themselves but to backstab, and those who you thought were your friends to suddenly throw you under a bus in the future.
