Good evening, it's time for Weekly Ochiai. Lately, is everyone using AI when writing programs? I've been using it for a long time, but since AI agents have multiplied, things are shifting. When I peer-review papers, I get so many that I think they must be written by AI; there are too few human reviewers for the overwhelming number of papers coming in. GitHub is also getting a massive amount of pull requests—humans can't handle it, so AI is handling it. In music, if AI is composing endlessly, humans don't have enough time to listen to it all. As this continues, humans are becoming the bottleneck. But when AI enters the communication between humans, what will become of us? Today, I want to explore these topics, including digital democracy and the future of humanity.
