AI can't touch a physical encyclopedia!
It's all pretty messy, not to mention uncertain. And so, like anyone who might store canned food and weapons in a bunker to prepare for a more physical apocalypse, AI reporter Benj Edwards, as he detailed in a"I often write about generative AI tools that could potentially pollute our online spaces with very convincing fake information. Some people think these tools may destabilize society.
Still, says Edwards, there's something comforting about knowing that the information in your hands is static. "I'm still optimistic that people who are cognizant of these issues can get through the coming decade with factual electronic knowledge at hand," he wrote. "But just in case I'm wrong, a little voice in the back of my head reasoned that it would be nice to have a good summary of human knowledge in print, vetted by professionals and fixed in a form where it can't be tampered with after the fact — whether by humans, AI, or mere link rot.
Honestly? Edwards might really be onto something. AI presents very real threats to our information passageways, some of which, to a degree, have already been realized. Maybe the internet really will become unusable, search features especially. Or maybe synthetic content will just drive everyone back to the browser bar, where instead of trusting opaque social media sources we'll all scurry to specific news sites that we trust.
Ultimately, though, whether we'll be able to curb generative AI's impacts down the line — once major companies are done shoving as many AI integrations into an unprepared marketplace as they possibly can, that is — is unclear. Regardless, in the meantime, it might be nice to have something real to hold onto.
