"AI-inspired speech patterns becoming prevalent among people, according to Sam Altman"
In a series of recent observations, tech experts have raised concerns about the increasing presence of artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content on the internet. Paul Graham, co-founder of Y Combinator, and Chris Best, CEO of Substack, have both noticed an influx of low-quality AI content, with Graham observing this trend on platforms like X, and Best predicting that highly developed AI bots will soon flood the media landscape with engagement bait.
OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, added his voice to the concern on Monday, warning about the takeover of AI quirks in social media. Altman had a strange experience when he saw many forum posts about Codex, OpenAI's new developer tool, thinking they were fake or bots. He also noted that AI Twitter and Reddit feel very inauthentic in a way they didn't a year or two ago.
Altman attributes this increase to the influence of real humans taking on the quirks of large language models (LLMs). The hype cycle around AI tools, he says, has a very "it's over/we're back" extremism. This could be driving the optimization pressure from social platforms to increase engagement and monetize creators, leading to the proliferation of AI-generated content.
Graham, too, has observed the same trend. He refers to numerous individual content creators seeking online attention or influence, who use AI tools to produce and distribute digital material. Although the exact identities or groups are not specified, the increase of such content could be a result of these wannabe influencers.

Chris Best, in an episode of the "a16z podcast" last week, warned that we will live in a world with a lot of AI trash that is just dumb stuff to click on. He believes that this trend could lead to a significant decrease in the quality of content available online.
As AI tools continue to evolve, it's crucial for users and content creators to be aware of the potential for AI-generated content and to take steps to ensure the authenticity and quality of the information they consume and produce.
