Nah, he's a comedian whose main schtick is surrealist stuff with a little bit of "wait, is that real?" mixed in www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlLA...

It has genuinely not been a solved problem since 2001 or even today (for a large corpus like the web), plus people came in with more use cases than keyword-based search!
Doesn't invalidate the larger point about A/B testing and SEO and ads enshittifying though.

Not denying some money people will get big scurred, but this is also the same company who hid their actual cloud revenue for a few years behind office before it caught up to actually be worth reporting, so if I’m an FT journalist I’m going with “we don’t know shit”

An example that comes to mind is Cameron Winters, whose mind produces this interesting NYC garage indie rock -type revitalization-ish sound that acts somewhat as a remix but is genuinely fresh and has a “never heard before” quality to it. I’m just very bearish on an AI artist doing the same

The untold part is that LLMs still, try as the labs might, can’t yet seem to do things like create new trends/sounds/etc. Maybe that changes, but so far the “stochastic parrot” moniker feels appropriate.

I say this because I am naturally an optimist, so the opposite take is that this just further reinforces their power over humans because either (a) the AI stuff is just too good for most people to not consume, or (b) it’s good enough and people are lazy, or some other depressing reason
