Where is the New Information?

by on February 6, 2023

Finding new information, when all books written in AI are based on scans of old material.

“The library was one of the greatest places on earth with a gazillion books available. A researcher was looking for information to add to his book on what the future of libraries would be with books written in AI since AI had only the past to look at, but wanted AI to write the future.The next time we went to the library we found it full of books on how the world had changed since the last time the books were there—books on all sorts of things, including the history of AI, which was not so well- known as it should be. One day we came upon a book by an AI researcher who was writing a history book. He was very excited, because he wanted to know what would happen to libraries, if he could only get a copy.”

The above was mostly a generated by an AI writing software program. One wonders how writers using such would ever have novel new information if all the books were AI written with having only past information in their scans.
