How will we know that we are reading something authentic written by the original author vs something that has been altered and rewritten? This may have been a problem in the pre-AI world as well, but with the ease one can generate text now I wonder if there is a much greater risk.
No. If somehow someone starts to try that is as easy as digitally signing the original documents.
It’s a pity that blockchain technology is so intertwined with crypto—it would make a great anti-AI check. As in, a way for a decentralized community to maintain an expanding collection of information while efficiently verifying that no existing works have been altered.
Sure, you can sign individual documents—but then for each document you need a separate channel to verify the original signature.
Friend, PGP signed messages were around in the 90s. Key signing parties. Web of trust.
Would be fun to see the “web of trust” develop into 2 non-connected subnets. Choose your own truth to live in.
Blockchain = keysigning + timestamping
Which version is earliest is relevant in this use-case.
Ohhh I get you then. Instead of checking against an author’s key, and building a distributed web of trust between trusted authors, you build a system that requires everyone collaborate on one shared chain of signatures.
Sure—the point I was trying to make is that it still needs to be done piecemeal, while a blockchain can verify a collection of works as a collection (that is, it not only verifies that each work is unaltered, it verifies it in the context of other related works).
Not yet. But soon (10y maybe in my guess)
What is authentically and originally written is impossible for ai to replace. Write with a quill and ink via candlelight. What is possible is editing. Take your comfort where you find it there. Editing has been changing original manuscripts for centuries for better and for worse
Same way as always? Consider the source.
No. We are not.
I can imagine the EU mandating AI in the browser and social apps. To keep the kids safe, ofcourse.
It will scan all the content, and modify it to a safe version, for your benefit.
“Voting started for
Catalan referendum on independanceThe X factor Spain!”Ah yes, the EU, foremost actor in stealthy propaganda. 🙄
I’m describing a next iteration of chatcontrol. The EU already proposes to have LLMs in every social app to see if you’re not communicating illegal thoughts.
Only a small change to have it alter content.
