In an effort to break the one thing that still works in Facebook (and the only reason anyone is still on the platform), FB has added mandatory "Group AI" to each private group. Not only is this intrusive, but the AI is hilariously incompetent.

Like, we had someone in our neighborhood group ask "Are there any beekeepers in the neighborhood?" and the AI commented with a list of statistics about beekeeping in the United States.

AI isn't taking over the world any time soon.

I've started to see a few cyclists in my area wearing jackets that are made of some incredibly reflective material. They really shine in my headlights.

But a study at Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that the AI systems in cars have a harder time recognizing people in reflective clothes. "The clothing that makes pedestrians stand out to human drivers may make them invisible to automated crash prevention systems."

AI seems to assume the world is sensible and rational, so you really find its limits when you feed it absurdity.

These are four takes on the phrase, "other universities didn't fit into my nose."

Wie is de overgroot opa van Robert Lewandowski? Thomas Müller (Weilheim, 13 september 1989) is een Duits voetballer die doorgaans in de aanval speelt. Hij stroomde in het seizoen 2008/09 door vanuit de jeugdopleiding van Bayern München,

For a while it showed only some sort of white table (picture cheap IKEA) and then it decided the table needed a plant. I still never got a green sphere and a red cube and a white table.

It fucking wanted a red sphere and goddamn if it would let me tell it not to draw one!

I applied a "Disney 3D character" style just for shits.
I got a chrome sphere with some vaguely green munchkin-lookin' thing on it.

Don't let this shit run your house or your car.

I think my yogurt review just confused the fuck out of them, so they just pushed every reject button they could reach.

I didn't even call them pinheaded shitlickers.

"We couldn't post your review because" blablablabla every bad thing they could flag it for. None of which are in the actual review."It's fun to say NOOOOOSA!!! Try it! Like, at work, or in a movie theater or at the dentist. The yogurt is yogurtlike."

There is *so much* pressure on my team [0], to use these #LLM slop generators for *something*. Not enough, more. Use it more!

Oh you have a problem, have you tried spending the week trying to get #GenAI we pay for to do it? Oh, I see the #CoPilot license we assigned to you hasn't been used for a few weeks?

And yes, we're already into the weeds of "this problem was probably caused by someone using an LLM to generate it last month"

but leadership don't want to hear they've paid huge fees to #Microsoft to license an #ArtificialStupidity that is slowing us down with unaccountable #AISlop code.

Goes hand in hand with measuring "lines of code" and "number of commits" for each worker, instead of problems solved and features delivered. Those LLMs sure can generate lines of code!

[0] and, I have to assume, all teams doing #SoftwareDevelopment at my employer

In normal life, privacy is dead. And very soon AI will make it practically impossible. Here is why:
