The crisis is that if the internet is bad enough that they can't train LLMs on it, it's also useless for us human. And if the LLMs leave because there is no information and we come back, eventually we will generate enough content that it will be worth it again

    This is said as though it isn't an immensely expensive endeavour to run these things and the only reason they're this prevalent right now is the overspeculation and starved growth of US tech companies.

    I don't get the point you are trying to make. I never said any of that. my point is that the information crisis caused by LLMs that they are referring to, affects everyone. Nothing else. Not hidden meanings

    Your original comment sparks fear that failure of LLMs as a mass producer of knowledge would only be temporary until humans repopulated the internet with quality content.

    Why would they come back after they fail if it costs billions of dollars to run them in the first place? You literally just agreed with someone else making the same point. Jfc.

    I don't have time to write (and filter out) my opinions right now, but basically I think LLMs will find their place and will settle into a duopoly or tripoloy

    Eventually is doing some heavy lifting. The costs of these data centers and the power plants to run them has to come from somewhere.

    I don't know if or when the chickens come home to roost, but it could go badly for the US and China to find out their spent trillions to make a million versions of AI shrimp Jesus.

    I want to believe that the silver lining is that HOPEFULLY MAYBE (Now these words are doing the heavy lifting. For sure)this will mean that when the ai craze goes away they will have spent so much on infrastructure that we will great cheap energy, cloud computing, and GPUs.
