I've been guilty of this myself - - - on one hand, I genuinely admire the technical ability of some of the people making these autoblogs, my more logical, mechanically oriented side really enjoys it, the same way I'd enjoy learning about how a motorcycle engine works. There's always a certain aesthetic beauty to elegant software architecture and design.
At the same time, I'm appalled by what this'll do to the internet. I grew up with the early 2000s version of the internet, and AI generated content is going to take the internet so far away from the things I used to enjoy about it. Atleast with old-school syntax you KNEW it was garbage - - the content generated by AI right now is in an uncanny valley and a little too close for comfort. I love reading, I love books, I admire writers, so the scaled-up mediocrity of AI is pretty repulsive.
I also have very mixed feelings about the fact that I'm even learning how to use this technology myself, so I don't get left behind.
I can't reconcile the inconsistencies here, tbh. Maybe one day, but right now I'm spending all day trying to set up an instance of LLaMA 7B that I can test.
