It’s like a dark forest that seems eerily devoid of human life – all the living creatures are hidden beneath the ground or up in trees. If they reveal themselves, they risk being attacked by automated predators.
That dark forest is about to expand . Large Language Models (LLMs) that can instantly generate coherent swaths of human-like text have just joined the party.
Yeah I think the “dark forest theory” is focused on human to human interaction / “civilized people” interacting with each other. And other people hiding from them. And “dark forest” is a misnomer because of this.
I would call it “dark ghost-town” theory.
