I genuinely can't begin to imagine the horror of being in this situation, can you?

@Remittancegirl the horror of having your picture published in The Guardian... backwards?

I don't know, maybe he has a special left-hand fiddle and plays it backwards, but I've never seen it happen.

@Scotter oh yes, that's the nextcproblem. @Remittancegirl

@Remittancegirl $1.5 million is nowhere near enough, Google won't even notice it

1.5% of annual profit would be closer to the mark

[da_gut@dice.camp]

@Remittancegirl he should’ve sued for more. Or Google might just pay this out of small change to make it go away.

[artemis@climatejustice.social]

@Remittancegirl he should be suing for ten times that much. That sort of thing puts him at real risk. It's not trivial, and Google should pay.

@2003MugishaPhocit Your response seems to have nothing to do with @Remittancegirl's posting. You seem to have used answering her question as an excuse to go off on an irrelevant tangent in her thread. Why did you do that? It's kind of rude.

[2003mugishaphocit@mastodon.social]

@jik @Remittancegirl maybe I miss understood what she meant.
I am sorry

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@Remittancegirl Sought damages are 1-3 orders of magnitude too small.

[apostateenglishman@mastodon.world]

@inpc @Remittancegirl I wondered the same, as this is exactly the sort of error that a statistical confabulation machine might make - and there's no way to fully prevent it from happening!

That's why this technology is inherently dangerous, no matter what guardrails are installed. There are supposedly already guardrails to prevent it doxxing people, for example, yet it can still be tricked into doing so.

Here's a CBC article about the dreadful damage done by Google to fiddler Ashley McIsaac:

Cape Breton fiddler Ashley MacIsaac sues Google over alleged defamation | CBC News

MacIsaac claims the online giant defamed him by falsely identifying him as a sex offender in an AI-generated summary.

CBC (www.cbc.ca)

Before AI a lot of these summaries came right from Wikipedia. It's for this reason that WP has special rules prohibiting the inclusion of negative information in biographies of living people unless confirmed by reliable published sources.

Wow. I feel like 1.5m is crazy low for this nightmare

[elleninedmonton@yeg.bike]

@hanktank61 @Remittancegirl
Wow, that's quite a misrepresentation!
It's harder and harder to find reliable sources of information in this hall of mirrors!

[draoicrogall@mastodon.social]

@Remittancegirl holy fucking shit that's horrific. Can we un-invent AI summaries?

[poljack@dice.camp]

@Remittancegirl Yes.
