I have seen articles claiming
they are running out of stuff to train LLMs on, and are trying to recursively
train them on AI generated content, resulting in a plateau
effect.
?
This article references a 1941
short story by Jorge Luis Borges.? My dad has a job in Argentina around
1965 and I lived there for 2 years before heading back for college.? I
vaguely remember reading that short story.? (probably an English
translation, my Spanish was mediocre at best)? Borges was a renowned author
and national hero, not sure this was his best work.? Seems pretty similar
to monkeys with typewriters writing the works of Shakespeare.? But maybe
that also describes the current state of generative AI.? It can quickly
generate tons of crap, and you have to scan through it looking for
gems.

My question is what happens when there is no one actually doing the work that
the AI bases its information on.? For example I most commonly use it for
programming mainly because I am a mediocre coder at best. What I once would
post
questions on stack overflow or other message boards I now just as ChatGPT. If
the traffic to these forums an such decrease then where will the AI pull its
knowledge base from?

I've been using
ChatGPT for all kinds of "write this letter" or write a "multi page document
describing something".? It's a good ToC with a few good
sentences/paragraphs.? It does so much heavy lifting.
?
The article suggests
someone is doing the same, but for their job application.? Why write a
story describing yourself when a bot will do it for
you?

You guys sometimes
talk about the challenges of the recruiting game.? If this article is
correct, I?m glad I?m not in that game, either as a candidate, or a hiring
manager.
?
This really makes me
feel like a dinosaur, and I don?t know how this even works.? Like with
a bot sending out a thousand tailored application letters per day, to be
screened by other bots.? I?m hoping this is either just a garbage
article, or only applies to certain job categories.
