Asked if AI is going to lead us to the sunlit uplands so many tech ‘visionaries’ are promising, Houser is unequivocal: “I personally don’t think it will, because I think that AI is gonna eventually eat itself, because as far as I understand it—which is really superficial—the models scour the internet for information, but the internet’s going to get more and more full of information made by the models. So it’s sort of like when we fed cows with cows and got mad cow disease.”
