The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

Public disclosed AI, when you put out a video that's obviously a cartoon or an animation or something along those lines, it's obviously AI, so nobody feels you're fooling them.

But public undisclosed AI, when it is, it's not this, it's that, em dash text, right?

Whenever I see a slide deck that has AI content in it, it's a new lorem ipsum.

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

It's lorem AI ipsum, right?

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

Like just add an A.

It just shows that either they're dumb or they think you're dumb.

They're dumb because they can't tell the difference between normal text and AI text, or they think you're dumb and they can get one over on you and spend a little bit of effort to just flood you with a bunch of words.

And then as soon as I see that, I ignore it and I send it to zero because it takes only a little bit of effort to send a whole, you know, just mash of a ton of words to

And I don't know if any of them have been checked or read through or whatever.

And so anytime I even detect there's a hint of AI in a communication to me, I set that to zero.

and I set that person, it's a significant downgrade.

And I think this is going to be baked into social networks where something like pangram.com, you know, now people will tell me, and of course it's true, that you'll never have a perfect AI detector and so on.

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

Of course that's true.

However, you can do really well, if I can recognize it with the naked eye and you can see it's not this, it's that, many people are just going to, you know how like Windows has a background where most people don't change the default?

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

Yeah.

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

Right?

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

Yeah.

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

Just like that.

The a16z Show
Balaji Srinivasan: Prove Correct, Not Just Go Direct

Most people don't change the default settings on AI.

They don't prompt it so aggressively that it's actually creative.
