Reading the four comments here already (at the time of writing this one) I think we're all on the same page - that A.I. is a tool to aid human research - nothing more. The piece on nudity in the article is an excellent collection of thoughts that are already out there, and saves some time in doing that basic initial research. For me, I would then use that info and align it with my own further research, making the necessary corrections. The problem, of course, is that there are a lot of lazy people who would simply use the text as it is and place it back on line, creating, as you say, the feedback loop.

Having said that, though, this is only one of many forms of A.I. Algorithms have many different uses in all kinds of fields.

And, of course there's our lovely Alecia Isobel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw-QBCcXuOU

Using AI as a start point may be ok but is should be purely that. Yes I agree AI generated content should be labeled as such. I don't know if AI could generate new ideas such as those that come out of left field or as you say continue to become increasingly bland. I can however make rapid links across vast amounts of information. This may have benefits but it will come with risks.

The biggest problem is of course you can't put the genie back in the bottle. So out there are millions of artifical brains that all learn something at exactly the same time. It's probably important than mankind still controls the on/off switch.
