Interesting. I guess that analogously, we might find that X years after some future AI content production ban, we could similarly start ignoring the low background token issue?

We used a rather low number of atmospheric bombs, while we are carpet bombing the internet every day with AI marketing copy.

    The eternal September has finally ended. We've now entered the AI winter. It promises to be long, dark, and full of annoyances.

      "Winter" in AI (or cryptocurrency, or any at all) ecosystems denote a period of low activity, and a focus on fundamentals instead of driven by hype.

      What we're seeing now is something more like the peak of summer. If it ends up being a bubble, and it burtst, some months after that will be "AI Winter" as investors won't want to continue chucking money at problems anymore, and it'll go back to "in the background research" again, as it was before.

        It was a continuation of the nuclear analogy, a nuclear winter following a large scale nuclear exchange.

        Also that winter comes after September (fall)

    We used a low number _and_ it was a while ago (it would be different if we used the same number spread out on the same time span)

    We're bombing the internet into extinction. But we were way before AI. It got real bad during the SEO/monetization phase. AI was just the final nail.
