Google has plunged the internet into a “spiral of decline”, the co-founder of the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) lab has claimed.
Mustafa Suleyman, the British entrepreneur who co-founded DeepMind, said: “The business model that Google had broke the internet.”
He said search results had become plagued with “clickbait” to keep people “addicted and absorbed on the page as long as possible”.
Information online is “buried at the bottom of a lot of verbiage and guff”, Mr Suleyman argued, so websites can “sell more adverts”, fuelled by Google’s technology.
This is the same person who defended NFT’s on the basis that “people just don’t get it, maaaan, it’s gonna revolutionize, like, the wooorld.” Without thinking about the social or ethical consequences of embracing a technology that has no social or ethical safeguards.
I’d say you’re closer to that person since you’re the one spouting bullshit about a technology you fundamentally don’t understand.
This article isn’t even about openai’s chatGPT - it’s about an AI that filters the active internet. Try perplexity.ai a few times and let me know if you still think the tech is useless. It’s a baby even in comparison to the baby AIs we have now and I haven’t touched google since I started using it.
