Bandwidth of human communication
1: Before the birth of language
2: Language was born a little thicker.
3: Writing was born
The biggest change is that humans can now communicate through written records without having to communicate directly with each other.
The bandwidth is written a bit thicker, but of course it means "for those who can read fluently"
A disparity was created between those who could read and those who couldn't.
Created a difference in reading and writing speed.
When people communicated by voice, they were disciplined by slow output.
Asynchronous communication has been created, allowing for more efficient input from the reader.
4: The amount of written text accumulated and increased as it did not disappear.
The invention of letterpress printing also encouraged
Libraries began to collect books and classify them systematically so that it was easy to find what you wanted.
Human "librarians" now help people find texts to read
5: Search engine appeared.
Now a non-human program can find the text to read.
Now available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week because it's not human.
The development of the Internet has made it possible to obtain reference materials from the comfort of your own home.
6: Emergence of LLM (current)
Instead of returning "already written" search results, they are now "generated" to meet the user's needs.
This has caused programmers using GPT-4 to "stop searching on Google" and "it is more efficient to ask GPT-4 first".
So human input efficiency has increased.
In the near future in fields other than programming, "humans will only use search engines directly for special applications.
7: Future
The search behind the AI now in 6 is a search engine born in 5
However, as the need for human use of search engines decreases, naturally "search engines optimized for AI searches" will be created.
Expressed it in the form of wider bandwidth between record and AI.
remarks
This figure depicts the speed of human "input."
download bandwidth" so to speak.
Speed of output, upload bandwidth consumed digital bandwidth in the form of "talking video instead of text" format change
The speed itself hasn't changed much since the days of the primitive 2
