Dan Houser's Vision: AI Will Devour Itself

Doubts About the Future of Artificial Intelligence: Similar to "Mad Cow Disease"

Unfettered: Rockstar co-founder, Dan Houser, recently appeared in an important radio interview on Virgin Radio UK, where he spoke with host Chris Evans about his new book. During this interview, the topic of artificial intelligence and its potential impact on human work and creativity emerged, and Houser appears less optimistic about this technology compared to many corporate executives.

Pessimistic Vision: When asked if artificial intelligence would lead us to promising developments, Houser unequivocally replied: "I personally don't think so, because I believe artificial intelligence will ultimately devour itself. As far as I understand it – and it's a superficial understanding – AI models rely on the internet to gather information, but the internet will increasingly be filled with information produced by these models themselves. This is somewhat similar to what happened when we fed cows to cows, which led to mad cow disease."

Precise Analogy: This analogy is very apt to describe the current obsession with artificial intelligence and the risks of what is known as "Model Collapse" in training AI models, where training new models on data previously generated by other artificial intelligence models leads to a deterioration in their quality over time and a reduction in their ability to learn from original human data.

Limitations of Artificial Intelligence and Criticism of Overly Enthusiastic Proponents

Realistic View: This does not mean Houser believes that generative AI will completely disappear; rather, he sees that "artificial intelligence will perform some tasks brilliantly, but it won't perform every task brilliantly." This is a sober and realistic view, as significant challenges still face artificial intelligence in areas requiring deep contextual understanding, genuine creativity, and complex critical thinking.

Criticism of Executives: Houser was more critical of enthusiastic executives who promote artificial intelligence as if it were a comprehensive magic solution. Houser stated to Virgin Radio: "Humanity is being pushed in a certain direction by a certain group of people, who may not be fully human."

Human Identity: Houser added: "Some of these people who are trying to define the future of humanity, creativity, or anything else using artificial intelligence, are not the most humane or creative themselves. So they are more or less saying: 'We are better at being human than you are.' And that is absolutely not true."
