This is a classic case of tragedy of the commons, where a common resource is harmed by the profit interests of individuals. The traditional example of this is a public field that cattle can graze upon. Without any limits, individual cattle owners have an incentive to overgraze the land, destroying its value to everybody.
We have commons on the internet, too. Despite all of its toxic corners, it is still full of vibrant portions that serve the public good — places like Wikipedia and Reddit forums, where volunteers often share knowledge in good faith and work hard to keep bad actors at bay.
But these commons are now being overgrazed by rapacious tech companies that seek to feed all of the human wisdom, expertise, humor, anecdotes and advice they find in these places into their for-profit A.I. systems.
Just a tangent, how long until game companies use AI voice synth to make us think we’re playing with real people?
When they actually invent AI. What we have now is just a statistical model. There is no AI. It’s just a buzz word.
Which is enough to imitate your usual ingame voice communication.
No it isn’t. The moment you try to have a conversation with these voices you’re going to realize very quickly there is no brain behind them.
Really? It works fine in Arma.
“Man. 200 metres. Front.”
Semantics aside, they already have voice synthesis
Have you seen another player in slither.io?? No, no you haven’t. It is a single player game.
Where’s the money in that?
I guess they could make you think you’re better at competitive games than you thought, but then that still doesn’t guide you to buy anything extra
Skyrim’s already got a mod that does effectively this.
