Run it through an AI to accelerate model collapse. In fact make more comments, but run all through an AI first.

This is another delusional fantasy from people who don't understand how the models work or the basics of statistics.

Ai isn't going to collapse due to bad data and adding noise won't have any effect because it's statically irrelevant. Newer approaches also have various checks built in for veracity so gpt5 going forward it'll have even less effect.

That doesn't change the fact trying to destroy a technology which will disproportionately benefit the most impoverished people on the planet by allowing them to access vital services such as education in their first language is a frankly evil act. And that's only one of the thousands of positive use cases for natural language computing and ai.

"Trust us, this is the exploitation of human labor that will finally make life better for everyone!"

Freeing people from the effects of poverty is good regardless of it coming about in a system which is often exploitative. Beyond capitalism bad you have no argument yet you shrug off that complaint with literally everything else you do - if you really thought capitalism is evil then the concept of copyright would be disgusting to you, but you love it when it allows you to rent seek or gate keep.

You are here on the internet despite every bit of it being run by private companies. You play video games and whatever else without the slightest concern but a tech that could allow poor people access to education angers you simply because you feel it devalues the privilege your global affluence and education have brought you.

I hope you realize that this isn't going to look good for you in retrospect, when the global south isn't being exploited to benefit western nations becauae we have ai tools able to supply the vital service required to improve things people will shake their heads remember people once tried to disrupt and defeat such a useful and important technology.
