A New Ai Arms Race
By Alex Fink, CEO of the Otherweb
The internet has seen its share of arms races in recent decades. The advent of viruses resulted in an
ongoing battle between those who make viruses and those who make antiviruses. The increase in spam
made our email accounts unusable without spam filters. The proliferation of annoying ads made ad
blockers necessary to maintain any semblance of sanity while browsing the web.\
What is the most likely scenario, then, with regards to the recent breakthroughs in AI technology - namely
the large language models (LLMs) that most people know as ChatGPT or Bard?
Predictions vary from the catastrophic to the utopian. And to be sure, both scenarios are possible. But I
would suggest that the most predictable outcome is substantially more mundane than either of these
options.
