The emergent properties of LLM’s continue to astound me. The implications for work and the economy are staggering. It’s a growing focus for us at the @DigEconLab https://

AI’s Role in Managing Future Content Abundance and Attention
By
–
One thing that will become scarcer is the time and attention needed to sort through the coming flood of content. Can AI help with that, too?

AI Systems Improving at Admitting Mistakes and Self-Correction
By
–
The researchers I've talked to suggest the systems are already getting much better at that. When it makes stuff up, you can ask it "were you just bullshitting? Tell the truth" and it will often 'fess up and correct itself.

AI Impact on Writing Supply: Scarcity and Value in Content Economy
By
–
Supply and Demand: AI is making it very cheap to produce mid-level writing, so the supply of mid-level writing will soar and the compensation for mid-level writing will plummet. Key questions: 1. What will be scarce in such a world?
2. Will it *great* writing still be rare? -
Automation over Augmentation: Risks of Prioritizing HLAI
By
–
5/ While both types of AI can be beneficial, there are currently excess incentives for automation rather than augmentation among technologists, business executives, and policymakers. We must be mindful of the implications of our focus on HLAI.

AI Augmentation Over Mimicry: Human Value and Economic Power
By
–
4/ When AI is focused on augmenting humans rather than mimicking them, humans retain the power to insist on a share of the value created. Augmentation creates new capabilities and products, ultimately generating far more value than human-like AI.

HLAI Focus Risks: Labor Power Loss and Technology Dependency
By
–
3/ An excessive focus on HLAI can be dangerous – as machines become better substitutes for human labor, workers lose bargaining power and become dependent on those who control the technology.

Benefits of Human-Like AI vs Other Powerful AI Systems
By
–
2/ The benefits of human-like AI (HLAI) include soaring productivity, increased leisure, and a better understanding of our own minds. But not all AI is human-like – many of the most powerful systems are very different from us.
