Det här kopplar till en tanke som legat och skavt ett tag och som jag nog behöver formulera mer utförligt snart: Att vi behöver hitta sätt att ”visa” oss i text, att göra det tydligt att något vi delar uppenbart passerat oss först, på riktigt. Inte bara som en ”meat proxy” utan faktiskt med nedlagd tid och ansträngning.
You can think of all these kinds of writing-as-evidence as proof of work. Nobody really cares about the content, they care about the fact that you sat down and wrote it. Of course, this requires a measure of trust. Just like cryptocurrency proof-of-work, if you fake it (for instance, by pasting lorem ipsum into pages 2-100 of your report), you can swindle the rewards without having to actually put in the effort
LLM-produced writing makes evidence of compliance even more vacuous than it already is. It totally destroys evidence of effort: if you need a hundred-page report, you can generate one with an hour and a few dollars in inference tokens. Evidence of learning is likewise broken, since I can produce a detailed status report full of information that never passed through my mind at all (and certainly was never retained).
