The shadow libraries are the largest collection of human knowledge to date, and completely untainted by AI. Any search engine that crawls and indexes them will have a tenfold increase in quality and be as revolutionary as the invention of the internet. No LLM model needed.

On top of that, there is no incentive for AI generated content to enter the shadow libraries at all.

I think you underestimate just how many people/entities/forces that exist that would love to see further decline, division, and discord in the Anglosphere...


Beyond just western destabilization, there are just flat out people who cause issues just because. Not to mention people who are anti-AI are motivated to weaken AI.

There's no reason people wouldn't taint any source of AI-free information if it became clear that is what it was.


In seriousness, are other languages faring any better or differently in all this?


What does the "anglosphere" have to do with online libraries? Will I regret asking that?

There is no incentive for AI content or spam in shadow libraries, because why would anybody risk prison to illegally copy spam.


What makes you assume they have not already been used by OpenAI, Google, or Baidu, etc?


I don't assume that and I haven't said anything to the likeness of it.


>there is no incentive for AI generated content to enter the shadow libraries

I interpreted this phrase much differently if that is the case.


What in the darnest? What do you interpret from that phrase?
