Unregulated AI is a problem.
"Some scientists can't stop using AI to write research papers
If you read about 'meticulous commendable intricacy' there's a chance a boffin had help"
"Using AI models can be very risky as they often produce inaccurate text, the very thing scientific literature is not supposed to do. AI models can even fabricate quotations and citations,..."

Generic pop music is also dumb. Perfect to be replaced by statistical methods brought to us by #AI.
Probably by 2030 most of Top 100 hits will be at least part written by LLM’s. And people won’t care.
Top 100 music is functional. People use it for affect as a tool. They want a certain mind-state which they can affect on themselves. Simple as that.

Google has indexed inaccurate infrastructure-as-code samples produced by Pulumi AI – a developer that uses an #AI #chatbot to generate infrastructure – and the rotten recipes are already appearing at the top of search results.

Now, that being said, here's some GOOD uses of AI:
1. Correct grammar/spelling/word usage
2. Summarizing long form text
3. Suggestions for a wide variety of things.
4. Searching (Fuck you google)
5. DnD gamerunning, either assisted or as an actual DM (this one I am probably misrepresenting, unfortunately. I am not an actual DnD player. So I guess I am wishing this😬)
It's a sad state of affairs when one of the most AI-positive people on Fedi starts rolling his eyes at these asinine implementations.
I am starting to resent the devs in this space who are obviously misrepresenting the tool and making everyone hate it.
Sincerely,
Fuck you for ruining everyone's perception of something that could be a good tool for humanity.
/s: The #BeEvilCompany ist doing it again. Well, how could a company that profits off manipulating search results ever be honest?
Besides, this will not be for long. I'm already waiting for the headlines heralding in mass layoffs through #AI automation./s
I talked to a friend from IT working in Europe, planning to move to the #US because salaries are a lot higher.
That being so, in a capitalist system, an international arbitrage of labor was to be expected.

#AI #Military: "We have to ask ourselves how meaningful political discussions of AI safety are, if they don’t cover military uses of the technology. Despite the lack of evidence that AI-enabled weapons can comply with international law on distinction and proportionality, they are sold around the world. Since some of the technologies are dual use, the lines between civilian and military uses are blurring.
The decision to not regulate military AI has a human price. Even if they are systematically imprecise, these systems are often given undue trust in military contexts as they are wrongly seen as impartial. Yes, AI can help make faster military decisions, but it can also be more error prone and may fundamentally not adhere to international humanitarian law. Human control over operations is critical in legally holding actors to account."

Just told my family I won't be renewing our DuoLingo family subscription because I won't support their replacement of actual human workers with "AI". This explains why their quality has been declining.
I reported a few erroneous answer rejections and DuoLingo emailed that they've accepted one report as correct, but it's not my job to fix their increasingly poor software and I won't support their drive to maximize profits at all costs.

Golly, it's coming up on six years since "What are beans?"
AI-generated books on Amazon now have the potential to kill people, as they've moved into the realm of mushroom foraging. Guides have popped up like, well, mushrooms, packed with information that makes no sense and could easily be dangerous, illustrated with structures that are "the mycological equivalent of a picture of a hot blond with six fingers and too many teeth," writes Vox's Constance Grady. Here's more.

Some said the priest avatar was inappropriate, misleading, or just plain creepy. Some said the priest simulated virtual sacraments — indeed, “Fr. Justin” gladly heard The Pillar’s, “confession,” before giving some spiritual guidance and reciting the words of absolution. And some said that an AI apologetics project leans too heavily into unreliable, controversial, and still-confusing technology.

This lawsuit is a minor headache for #Amazon. Allegedly a woman was fired for doing her job which was keeping Amazon’s #ArtificialIntelligence from using content illegally (probably copyrighted material).
Her boss reportedly did not like that “do-gooder attitude” & demoted her, before firing her during maternity leave. This case could open up lawsuits against Amazon’s #AI in the future.

So lemme get this straight, recent big things for Mastodon:
- Opened up to Facebook who literally helped genocide happen and censors certain posts on their platform, after closed door meetings
- Added AI bro and crypto fucker Amir Ghavi as a board member
- Added a cofounder of Twitter as a board member.
It is becoming reasonable to question if there is a current goal to ensure Mastodon becomes less attractive to its core userbase. Almost like it's being sabotaged on purpose.

I feel kinda sad for all the people still posting complaints about stuff they know won't go away or be changed. It's like if I went online and bitched EVERY DAY about not getting a million dollars, fully believing that by doing that I'll eventually get a million dollars....
Unfortunately that's not how the world works and people ranting about stuff like AI, thinking it's doing anything besides making them look like a crazy person, is just so sad.🤦♂️
It's not going anywhere. It really isn't. I'm sorry to break it to you like this. I hope you can move on and find something more important to spend your time complaining about.

It’s worse than with blockchain because that at least has people “investing” their money in crypto currencies.
Apple’s Vision Pro is a bad product with an even worse vision for the future of computation.
New sales numbers prove it’s a failure, but more than that it shows the idea of tech’s inevitability is a myth. We have the collective power to stop tech that doesn’t serve us.

The future of content on the internet…
#LinkedIn uses #AI to generate topics for questions. LinkedIn gamifies answering of questions with a badge. LinkedIn users start to game the game and answer the #AI generated questions with AI generated answers. LinkedIn takes AI generated answers and trains its AI models on them to generate more content.
Ouroboros.
“More worrisome is that AI, by its very nature, lends itself to compounding the problem: Many of the ostensibly human users on LinkedIn appear to have contributed answers that were produced by AI, effectively creating an AI-to-AI conversation, which LinkedIn then uses to train its own AI models.”
