First and foremost, let’s be clear. This article is not another anti-AI narrative.
Artificial Intelligence has undeniably revolutionized various aspects of our lives and serves as a powerful co-pilot in numerous fields. It enhances efficiency and helps to unlock new creative avenues.
AI’s contributions are invaluable. It is the blatant misuse by people that is giving it a bad reputation.
The Current State of AI-Generated Garbage
An alarming rise in low quality AI-generated content is happening in the digital landscape. We find in it in articles, pictures and increasingly in videos. This makes it very difficult for users to find actual useful information as such content creation that doesn’t focus on quality can be automated, thus drowning out the competition.
The worst may have yet to come.
A Vicious Cycle of AI Training
One of the most concerning aspects of this proliferation is its potential contribution to future AI training. As technology companies leverage on the internet to build their next-gen models, it may be a challenge to filter out low-quality AI generated content. After all, the data is not wrong when it comes to language technicalities but rather the fault lies in the lack of intrinsic value it brings. If such information slips through, it solidifies and perpetuates the cycle of low-quality content. This scenario raises critical questions about the integrity and reliability of the data used for training AI systems. Eventually the diversity of Generative AI may suffer as the training process becomes tainted.
The Need for Human Evolution in Content Creation
As mentioned, the heart of the issue may lie not with AI itself but with how we, as humans, choose to utilize it. There is a growing need for a paradigm shift in our approach to content creation, moving away from using AI as a shortcut for effortless production. Instead, we should strive for a balanced collaboration where AI enhances human creativity and effort, rather than replacing it.
Importance of Advanced Content Discovery Methods
Search engines have long waged a continuous struggle against low-quality content. In this new era of Generative AI, such efforts need to be taken up to the next level, something I believe any reputable content discovery service is already on. It is only when the purported benefits of abusing AI to churn out garbage content diminishes, shall we see a decrease of said situation.
Hubbers’ Takeaway
Along with the immerse benefits of AI comes the inevitable abuse of it. As low-quality AI generated content increases, there is a risk of it making its way into the training data of next-gen AI models, triggering a tsunami of garbage content and rendering the search for useful information tedious. While content discovery services work to bury offending sources, we can discourage such practices by not giving these content the attention it does not deserve.
