That's a very good question. What will be left once all the hype is gone? Not all bubbles leaving something behind... we can hope this one will.

When SEO and generated content meet... this isn't pretty. The amount of good content on the web reduced in the past decade, it looks like we're happily crossing another threshold in mediocrity.

The actual dangers of generative AI. Once the web is flooded with generated content, what will happen to knowledge representation and verifiability?

Important and interesting study showing how the new generation of models are driving energy consumption way up. As a developer, do the responsible thing and use smaller, more specific models.

The Large Language Model arm race is still going strong. Models are still mostly hidden behind APIs of course, and this is likely consuming lots of energy to run. Results seem interesting though, even though I suspect they're over inflating the "safety" built in all this. Also be careful of the demo videos, they've been reported as heavily edited and misleading...

Definitely one of the worrying aspects of reducing human labor needs for analyzing texts. Surveillance is on the brink of being increased thanks to it.

A glimpse into how those generator models can present a real copyright problem... there should be more transparency on the training data sets.

This is clearly an uphill battle. And yes, this is because it's broken by design, it should be opt-in and not opt-out.

Very interesting review, we can see some interesting strengths and weaknesses. Also gives a good idea of the different ways to evaluate such models.

LLMs training had a bias from the start... and now we got a feedback loop since people are posting generated content online which is then used for training again. Expect idiosyncrasies to increase with time.

Now this is a very interesting use of generator models. I find this more exciting than the glorified chatbots.

Interesting experiment. It makes for a very large file but there are a few clever tricks in there.

Interesting terminal oriented tool to interacting with LLM. Let you choose to self-host or run locally.

School bullying has a new tool to its belt... and this one is rather creepy.

That's the beginning of interesting benchmarks for AI assistants. Still a long way to go but this is a good start.

Excellent piece about everything which is wrong in the current industrialization moment of generative AI.

I fully agree with this. All those doomsayers about AI are there to sell something willingly or not. Let's look at the current threats we're seeing now, not the imaginary ones being the results of people taking SciFi a bit too literally.

There's a blatant traceability problem with those generated images...

Attacks on machine learning models are getting more accessible. This means even more care will have to be taken to deploy and use those.

Another open source LLM available out there. This one seems to have interesting properties.
