    At some point, it becomes pretty easy to devalue that content and create other systems to filter it.

      I mean isn’t that eventually going to happen? Isn’t ai going to eventually learn and get trained from ai datasets and small issues will start to propagate exponentially?

      I just assume we have a clean dataset preai and messy gross dataset post ai… If it keeps learning from the latter dataset it will just get worse and worse, no?
