Maybe, but don't think so, because the terminology is too consistent with corporate marketing literature.

On which systems did you start coding? I started programming on the Commodore 64, then became an Amiga game developer. Good ol' pre-internet times, sending and receiving disks by snail mail.

Indeed

Yup, probably should have identified it sooner, and will be more alert in the future.

To be clear, the purpose here is not to call anyone out, who may have just been trying to engage on a subject they found interesting.

Rather it was to share an example that relates to the boiling pot thesis of the above article.

Not much to add. Except there are of course more edge cases where a machine can actually provide meaningful clues - like inspecting parts for faults, marking those on images in order to aid with quality control of castings or welded surfaces like modern combustion engine cylinder surfaces where tiny faults might be easy to miss and quite a tedious job to thoroughly inspect in large numbers like we do in industrial production. Even with those, however, you still need skilled humans to tell if it's mere specs of dirt and dust or actual faults, though, so applications are very limited, indeed.

Thanks for posting the article. We are going to look back on these early indicators of how damaging AI is to society and wish we had done more to protect ourselves.

We're slowly getting there! However we name it - let's just reject the implied sales pitches and simply call it what it actually is.

@mastodonmigration

We shall talk about “artificial stupidity / insanity“ consistently from now on, refusing the implied sales pitch altogether.

Maybe using the correct attribution will fix it?

#AIslop -> #ArtificialStupidity / ArtificialInsanity / LazyLyingMachines

Or just ticking time bombs insideously and unwittingly filled with slop both human and AI generated.

A favorite recent post...

my dogs if i may drop public informational tone for a moment i think it is fucking awful for a society of living creatures to be sold a future wherein everything is fucking broken and inexplicable and at the mercy of a black box run for the profit of four corporations. I think it is fucking awful to have an industry that claims to sell the notion of of "intelligence" as utility, like water, as a cover for a trojan horse high that makes the wielder feel like a god by corroding everything they touch, like acid. we used to have "intelligence" run like a wild stream through these parts, a byproduct of people "living their brilliant little lives," but these days it's all on the meter and belches brown from the faucet as a firehose of microplastics and lead leached straight to the dome
