AI doesn't produce data suitable for training AI. It's a huge problem when AI generated slop makes its way into the training set because it generally degrades the quality of the model. Like a photocopy of a photocopy.

So where is all the data its trained on to surpass most people come from? Do you think they're curating what they feed it based on IQ scores or something? Verifying accuracy, competency, etc? Or are you aware they just turn on the reddit/stackoverflow/github/etc. scrapers and start pumping them full of unfiltered 100% pure grade A internet bullshit?

That's exactly what people have done for millennia though. It's literally the reason you have heat in the winter and aren't living in a cave.

Any literate person can do that? Despite the public education systems best efforts to train us all in such a manner as to overly pad everything out with an excessive quantity of superfluous filler words, many of which add nothing to the information communicated and may even continue long after the point is made.

If you've ever read an AI email, they aren't capable of that either. It's a meme at this point that people use AI to write an email, which becomes far too long, and the reader uses AI to make it shorter. AI does not do concise and to the point.

A human with no experience in the field is liable to recognise that fact and start asking questions, showing doubt and learning. That's infinitely better than spewing incorrect bullshit.
