A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Shortly? It's happening already. I notice it when using Google and Duckduckgo. There are always a few hits that are AI written blog spam word soup
Unfortunately you haven't seen the full impact of LLMs yet. What you're seeing now is stuff that's already been going on for a decade. SEO content generators have been a thing for many years and used by everybody from small business owners to site chains pinching ad pennies.
When the LLM crap will kick in you won't see anything except their links. I wouldn't be surprised if we'll have to go back to 90s tech and use human-curated webrings and directories.
It's especially amusing when you consider that it's not even fully autonomous yet; we're actively doing this to ourselves.
I wonder how many comments in this thread are ai generated. I wonder how many comments on Lemmy will be in 5 years time.
