I’m all for corporations souring their dopamine pipes. Perhaps it may encourage the users to do something useful with their free time, maybe even pick up a book or two (said he, while scrolling Lemmy in bed).
I suspect they anticipate exponential increases in ML generated content creation quality and/or they expect that users will gobble up AI slop and it won’t effect medium/long term engagement growth.
I guess so, but engagement does not equal revenue, and the models are black boxes that are already falling apart. I have no idea where exponential improvement should come from - throwing more and more computational power into the maw can only get you so far.
