AI Generated Content

Keep this in mind: software generated content is not content, it is only data. If we think of AI as software, we must treat AI generated content as data.

In the case of Large Language Model, the data you see is nothing but patterns that have high probability in that particular model, plus the prompts generated by you and hidden prompts generated by the system. The plausibility is just an illusion.

Always assume AI generated data are nonsense unless you’re convinced some of them make sense to you.
