I would like to thank @rebeccawatson for pinpointing straight away the central issue when it comes to these #recognition technologies. Too often, we are first concerned with the impact it might have on our lives, but we completely forget about the hundreds of millions of #clickworkers, exploited through a #digital #gigeconomy and what these system reflect of the deeper #techbro ideologies such as #technofascism and #mass-surveillance of all those who are not the #CEO‘s.

@minimalparts I'm not a computational linguist or even engineer, but I can't help worrying about AI, because the problem they pose isn't just whether they are junk science or not (they are not). It's much more far-reaching than that. AI is an extension of the capitalist colonisation of the global south, where hundreds of millions of #clickworkers are being exploited to the marrow to moderate social media and train AI. Sorry, but I can't sit on that and just ignore it. This is not a distraction.

@squads no they ain't - they are #WastefulComputing at best if not #exploitation with #clickworkers who have no other means to make ends meet!

• Stop shilling #garbage that only #TechBros who have 0 skills beyond swaying even more #TechIlliterate #VCs into burning money get excited about!

@me yikes...

That's really gonne require them to either cancel most people or need to book a different venue capable of holding the demand...

• Tho we can't be shure how many of those folks would actually buy tickets and estimates to the amount of #bots or rather #clickworkers getting paid to do #scalping ranges from 10% to 95% depending on the item...

Just like with 9th Generation Consoles...

Die Meldung ist nicht neu, wird aber kaum Wahrgenommen. Der KI-Support wird gerne Clickworking genannt aber ist in anderen Worten eine digitale Ausbeutung.

»Arbeiten für die KI – Clickworker erhalten 90 Cent pro Stunde:
Durch die neue Plattform „Data Workers‘ Inquiry“ sollen die oft prekären, aber unsichtbaren Arbeitsbedingungen von Clickworkern und Content-Moderatoren besser publik gemacht werden. […]«

@MarietjeSchaake I hope they also certify their products as #Fairtrade and not rely on #exploitation of #clickworkers from the Global South instead...

@donni +9001%

Also #Captchas are #ableist af and actually, detect #humans because #bots are faster, more accurate and make less mistakes...

And yes, #Spammers will just use #AMT (basically #AWS but built upon the #exploitation of #Clickworkers aka. digital #precariat) to circumvent those...

#AI #DataLabor #PrisonLabor #Finland #Clickworkers: "Around the world, millions of so-called “clickworkers” train artificial intelligence models, teaching machines the difference between pedestrians and palm trees, or what combination of words describe violence or sexual abuse. Usually these workers are stationed in the global south, where wages are cheap. OpenAI, for example, uses an outsourcing firm that employs clickworkers in Kenya, Uganda, and India. That arrangement works for American companies, operating in the world’s most widely spoken language, English. But there are not a lot of people in the global south who speak Finnish.

That’s why Metroc turned to prison labor. The company gets cheap, Finnish-speaking workers, while the prison system can offer inmates employment that, it says, prepares them for the digital world of work after their release. Using prisoners to train AI creates uneasy parallels with the kind of low-paid and sometimes exploitive labor that has often existed downstream in technology. But in Finland, the project has received widespread support."

[Análisis] Los peligros del encantamiento con la inteligencia artificial de ChatGPT

Esta herramienta de la empresa OpenAI usa muchos textos diferentes para generar uno nuevo. Por ello, es fácil que recombine segmentos que conceptualmente son como el agua y el aceite y que cree una explicación con errores importantes. Además, sus fuentes de entrenamiento son opacas y no sabemos de dónde ha sacado la información que utiliza para explicarnos las ideas principales.

Coherencia no es sinónimo de verdad, pero tendemos a confundir ambos conceptos. Cuánto más coherente es un discurso, ya sea oral o textual, más fácil es que lo tomemos por verdadero y más convincente nos parecerá. Y confundir coherencia con verdad puede llevarnos a cometer errores desastrosos.
