Invert the economics. Right now there is value in posting LLM generated content that is more than the cost of using the model.
If platforms had a subscription model that you had to pay for in order to do more than just read comments, there’d be a lot less LLM content. There would also be a lot less of all content. But maybe that’s the price you pay (literally) to get rid of AI slop.
- intended 4mo agoGood idea, but models are only going to get cheaper. Unless governments add an information environment pollution tax. Oh hey, now thats an idea.
- erpellan 4mo agoI meant the social media platforms. If HN charged a fee for posting and commenting it doesn’t matter how cheap the AI models are, it’d be punishingly expensive to sling slop.
