Misinformation Is Certainly Not A New Thing - Tumblr Posts

The Nature study linked in the above post could, kind of, be read as suggesting that the increasing amount of AI generated content on the internet may wind up with AI killing itself, as the Forbes article suggests was the takeaway from the AWS study.

Except really, the Nature study is just saying that AI training sets are starting to include more and more AI-generated content, which leads to "recursive training" where the AI models wind up being trained on their own output, and this in turn causes irreversible changes to future AI models in a direction away from similarity to human-generated content.

The AWS study, meanwhile, found that, "57.1% of all sentences come from multi-way parallel tuples." Which means, in this context, that 57.1% of sentences in their data set had been translated more than twice.

A news site called WindowsCentral just posted a headline: "57% of all content on the web is AI-generated."

They're misquoting a Forbes article that said, "57% of all text-based content on the web is AI-generated."

Which itself was also a misquote of a study saying "57% of all text translations on the web are machine generated."

Figured I should give everyone a heads up

for all the "OMG dead Internet theory is real!" posting coming up.
