Except - of course - any LLM that Amazon decides to train on all those ebooks (especially the Kindle Unlimited). And many of those ebooks (especially Kindle Unlimited) are probably generated by LLM, so it's The Circle of Life...

Quote: ...train on all those ebooks ... generated by LLM...
Reminds me of the old "Wiffenpoof Operation."
The Wiffenpoof is a mythical bird that flies in ever decreasing circles until it flies up its own a$$ and disappears.
Which, oddly enough, sounds like the phenomenon described in the cited article.

I'm betting the net result of that will be that the LLMs start putting disclaimers in their responses to say that if anyone wants to use the response to train an LLM, they should contact the company for approval and potentially payment.
Because of course the "AI" companies aren't going to start reading and respecting those disclaimers; they're just going to point their scraping tools at the book, and blindly shovel it all into their models.

ChatGPT is an LLM

Large Language Model - basically what's getting called AI these days (ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.)

Perhaps Limited Learning Model is a more appropriate term, upon reading the article.
Or also Lagging behind in Leap towards Maturity.

Exactly!
One of the problems I see is that the weakest link in the chat software chain, is context apprehension and continuity across probes.
To be fair, that's common amongst humans also. I'm 67 and I work with colleagues that are, on average early 30-somethings. They (almost, to be fair) never get my 60's, 70's and 80's cultural references.
I don't fault them for that, however. Culturally speaking, my internal LLM has been train on datasets they've never seen.
This is the common look I get:

What I read into this:
If you order a LLM to babble, it will babble. Took them a long time to say nothing.
Nothing to see here...

I suspect the source of the LLM problem described - setting aside all the "no one cares" and "I don't have a conduit to speak with anyone who might care" issues - is architectural.
To make an obvious "well DUH!" statement, there are multiple components here, just in the chatbots simple Input-Process-Output structure. The issue the article author talks about could originate in any one or more of them.
To me a bicameral or multicameral approach/architecture is needed. If these chatbot systems had an output monitoring AI that could "learn" to detect both garbage in and/or garbage out, that could help mitigate the issue.
I'm just flying by the seat of my pants here. I am fully prepared to be wrong, and if that's the case, please be gentle.

I use DuckDuckGo exclusively and it is down right now (since 4:21am Eastern) -- see image of their tweet[^] or see the actual tweet at: x.com[^]
I also just tried to do an Image search from Edge and got this error from Bing[^].
What's up with Search Engines?

In general terms? Too many ads, too much AI-generated BS, and too much keyword-stuffing SEO-optimised crap filling the first page(s) of results for them to be much use any more. 
At least DDG doesn't suffer too much from the first two.

Very interesting. Looks like the problem with DuckDuckGo was actually related to Bing.
The Brave browser tweeted this (image of tweet)[^].
Was actually a Bing API issue.
