I'm so tired.

@pheonix If you can't be bothered to write it, I won't be bothered to read it

[hugoestr@functional.cafe]

@pheonix For those who proof read via LLMs: It is okay if you have typos and misspelled words. At this point that signals to me a human wrote it

@pheonix

AI-generated content shares a lot of qualities with ultra-processed food.

Because the product is now advertisement, the "content" does not really matter anymore. The content is just there to keep you engaged and come back for more.

I think everything that gives you cancer should automatically be tagged with a flag.

[cloudhands@mstdn.ca]

@pheonix I’m seeing certain outlets proclaim themselves AI free, which is great, and I think we’ll be seeing more of this practice.

[growfediverse@dillyofapickle.com]

@pheonix Right? Like at this rate how about we watch AI sports, where instead of paying human competitors we just see generated video of fictional humanoids in made up Olympics 🤪

[huntn00@mastodon.world]

@hugoestr @pheonix Is there any law or ethics rule that AI content must be labeled as such? It not, it’s just another part of the being hose process that is ongoing in our capitalist state of existence.

@pheonix It is *so* annoying.

Duckduckgo has a no ai search, which works as well as you’d expect. This morning, I heard of an artist and wanted to see more examples of his work. Even with “AI: hide,” about one in five images came from domains that seem dedicated to generating slop “in the style of” an artist.
And yeah, I could see the difference between flat art nouveau and shaded slop, but I shouldn’t need to waste my very limited energy on that.

I tagged those to ddg, hope they’ll shit list those domains.

@christianrickert If you don't mind me, I'll borrow this equivalence with ultra-processed food because it sounds just about right.

It's just like fast food in that it feels like real food, but is engineered to be super palatable, optimized for long shelf-life and often lack the nutritional value of whole foods.

[pheonix@hachyderm.io]

@toni I didn't know about the no ai duckduckgo variant so thanks for bringing it up!

[christianrickert@23.social]

@pheonix Go for it!

[pheonix@hachyderm.io]

@growfediverse LOL. Forget actual sports - at this point, someday they'll also be like - instead of you playing video games let your AI play and win for you

[pheonix@hachyderm.io]

@cloudhands A differentiator which will be a USP probably from next year onwards

[pheonix@hachyderm.io]

@Huntn00 @hugoestr There should be some sort of mechanism to auto-tag content which was generated by a LLM at this point. Even major news outlets maybe using these bots for what we know!

[toni@zug.network]

@pheonix Sure, happy to have helped.
I’ve added the URL to my original post, to make it easier for others who might stumble over it.

[jessieimproved@hachyderm.io]

@toni @pheonix This is because DuckDuckGo only uses a block-list to filter out sites that post primarily AI images. They can't actually tell what images are AI in a reasonable amount of time/processing. So some will get through.

[toni@zug.network]

@JessieImproved @pheonix I suspected as much. That’s why I tagged images from craiyon, midjourneyart etc.

[growfediverse@dillyofapickle.com]

@pheonix Seriously though. We should actively start talking about replacing athletes with GenAI. Watch how big mad the sportsball people will get But observe the merits:

- Watching AI athletes is safer for humans. No risks of injury to people.

- It's cheaper for humans. We can cut all the public spending on school sports programs and publicly funded arenas

- It's better quality, the AI athletes will never trip, miss their jumps, fumble a ball, or slip on surfaces.

- It's cheaper and faster to produce. Training human athletes takes years and specialized equipment, and only happens at the rate humans can gave babies. AI can crank out millions of atheletes and teams in seconds.

- AI refs will never make mistakes either. In fact they and coaches can just be abstracted away and eliminated entirely because the rules and strategy of the game will be part of the AI agent players.

Or maybe putting AI in everything is an annoying idea #NoAI #enshittifaction #AISlop #GenAI

[null0x0@fosstodon.org]

@pheonix agree

[vikki@know.me.uk]

@pheonix I feel like it might now be easier to ask for people to tag “no AI was involved” than tag the AI stuff.
