Not having to use #AICrap needs to be in there at some level. 😀

Wow. Imagine how many times that sort of thing has already happened around the world in medicine, and hasn't been rectified. A whole long list of new disease states.

It looks like some C-level exec at Soundcloud decided, "Hey, we're making too much money, and our users actually trust us or something. We've got to remedy that situation! Seriously, I want to turn this place into a ghost town, where all our content's been moved elsewhere by its creators."

Seriously, why else would they do this? 🤡

Please boost so creators know to move platforms.

So.....it's kinda useless.

I feel like this shows a lot about the kinds of people who are strongly pro-AI: they're prone to not just ignoring ethics but actively violating well-accepted ethical standards. When told that something's a bad idea or flat-out wrong, they'll barrel ahead and do it anyway (though possibly in a sneaky way).

And they care so little about truth that they'll lie to their own AI! (Telling it participants have given consent.)

A screenshot showing the result given by AI on Chrome to the query "What does the saying 'Dandy is as dandy does but not so dandy as horses' mean?"

The response: The saying "Dandy is as dandy does but not as dandy as horses" is a humorous, somewhat archaic, and potentially nonsensical phrase. It seems to play on the word "dandy," which can refer to someone who is excessively concerned with appearance and style, or to something that is of good quality. The saying likely implies that while someone might be considered "dandy" in terms of their appearance or style, they are not necessarily as good or valuable as horses.

As much as I like to hate AI tech, I just had a “conversation” with ChatGPT asking to explain how “assault marriage “ would look like.

I then asked it to make it capitalistic society. The response was fascinating. The more I read, the more I could relate to the current state of things.

This could definitely happen in the future if humanity continues to fall from grace.

This brings me to the point of religion so I asked it to assume the society has religious extremism. It was at this point where it took a weird turn but it was fun nonetheless.

Looking for a #smartwatch

I don't see that as a "CON" (although it is an actual "con").

#AICrap

description of CONS about a smart watch:
small screen with big bezels
data processor
No AI health insights....which is FINE by me!!

This article has some good and bad about AI in the arts and software development:

🙂 The push seems to be top-down. Execs like it. Actual artists hate it. Coders are kind of split, but generally see it as a toy, at best.
☹️ Unfortunately, the execs don't seem to be listening to their artists and coders.
😁 At least one company whose CEO pushed AI heavily went bust.

This piece makes the good point that "suspicion of the em dash also speaks to our mounting paranoia over automated communication" — we know there are people passing off AI crap as their own writing, and we want to be able to spot it. But the em dash "cannot be a reliable metric of AI reliance for the simple reason that it is a case of the software mimicking *human* writing patterns."

#writing #grammar #EmDash #EmDashes #AI #AICrap

I've been writing using em dashes since the 1990s. The reason AI uses em dashes is because it was trained on my writing, and that of countless other humans like me.

Meme based on the Breaking Bad Walter White "I am the one who knocks" scene. Walter White has a furious expression on his face as he bellows at his wife Skyler (off-screen). The caption says, "You think I write like AI? Because I use em dashes?! No, Skyler. AI uses em dashes because it writes like me!"

Went to a meeting at work where one of the topics was "vibe coding" (and how do we feel about it?). I helped move the Overton window in the direction of "we hate it and won't use it for anything but toy prototypes", which I feel good about.

And I wasn't the only one, which also makes me happy!

#VibeCoding #AICrap #coding

One thing that makes me very happy about #NaNoWriMo crashing and burning: It's good evidence that the #writing world is not even remotely buying into the AI hype. (Unlike another industry I'm involved in... 🙄)

Having poor moderation practices that enabled grooming? That was bad for them. But promoting AI? That *killed* them. Writers are going: "AI? Fuck, no! 🙅👎⛔️🖕

I actually clicked through to X/Twitter to watch the video (it'll let you do that without any login), and I started to wonder: how could anyone produce a video of themselves being so cruel and nasty to workers without feeling like utter pieces of shit?

Then I realized, it's easy if you don't see workers as human beings. 🙁

The problem with using AI is, it doesn't matter if 95% of what it tells you is right. That still means:

1. 5% of it is wrong.
2. You don't know *which* 5%.
3. So you have ti distrust *all of it*.

Not fond of "hallucinate", because it implies some intelligence, which is not actually there. Really, it's just fucking up and making mistakes.
