Anybody know of any good articles considering the possibilities of the resonant effects of AI training (for both predictive and generative tasks) on inputs increasingly produced by generative AI? And/or where strategic manipulation of AI might occur (through intentionally crafted content that ends up as training data)?

@katestarbird What a great research idea! It would also be interesting to study the effects of *adversarial* "intentionally crafted content" if it were widely distributed.

Depressingly dystopian but likely relevant, unfortunately.

@twitskeptic Indeed, that’s exactly the question I asked an AI researcher today during a talk. Following Thomas Rid, thinking about the social construction of reality as strategy (rather than just descriptive theory) and how intentionally shaping AI training data could shape discourse and therefore reality.
