[Meme] Reliable Sources
The Web is fast becoming infested with garbage. It's garbage because it's generated by machines that lack knowledge, comprehension, intellect, understanding, inference etc. It's just designed to spew out grammatically-correct junk, only poorly resembling originals or fusion/s thereof.
GNU/Linux too is impacted by these infestations.
Where do we go from here? Will data on the Web be invalidated or presumed wrong? Suspicious by default?
Maybe.
Sooner or later LLMs swallow up their own lies (that they generated), which means that over time those things will only deteriorate further, exacerbating an already-large misinformation pandemic. Reinforcing lies is easy when one sees them repeated a lot, lending credibility to them.
Suffice to say, misinformation is a threat to a functional society. █
