I'm so tired.

@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!

@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

@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.

[howitzer105mm@pdx.social]

@pheonix I participated in a virtual meeting late last year and the subject of AI/LLM came up. I expressed my multiple objections to the dreck that it is. One of the participants mentioned a way to tag things 'human created'. I didn't follow up at the time. It appears they may have been talking about notbyai.com?

@pheonix

Filter number one for (auto-)tagging: Does the text contain spelling errors or editing mistakes?
Number two: Count the fingers.
Number three: Exuberant writing or telling style.

@growfediverse @pheonix

In terms of turning the general populace against Gen AI, that proposal might work. Sports have lots of time and cost investments, and this proposal would have all those people, children and their supportive parents and peers, rally against your awful proposal, as their sunk costs (no fallacy here, move along in an orderly fashion) would have the marching down the streets pretty quick. What if we did to sports what we are doing to workers?

[themikina@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@pheonix We need something crowd-sourced like SponsorBlock, but for AI content.

It has its issues, especially with false positives being super damaging to actuall artists you want to support, but at this point, I'd love to have something like that.

@pheonix

Agreed. I like to read personal blogs, and what I hate is taking the time to read something that sounds interesting, and then realizing about two paragraphs in that it’s AI. Like it’s trying so hard to pretend it’s real writing, but losing the human composition cues to keep it up for long-form writing. It starts to sound robotic, repeating things, talking too much about a topic, too wordy, saying weird phrases not native to human conversation, etc.

It reminds me of when the scourge of SEO hit the internet. Bloggers wanted to increase visitors to their sites by keeping to the top of Google search, so they abandoned writing organically and only wrote in a way to appease the SEO algorithm. This led to the deterioration of writing quality of blogs and good, creative personal blogs got buried to the back of Google search under all the SEO slop.

"Highly processed" does not automatically mean unhealthy or bad, as there are certainly nutrient-rich and healthy options, such as plant-based milk.

That’s why ultra-processed food can be considered a different category:

[art_histories@mastodon.social]

@pheonix But it is also so, so very difficult to cut through the noise. If you don't use AI your ability to produce content is limited due to your time. AI spits it out in seconds and google loves new content.

Then there are summaries on top of the search engine so that people don't see the need to visit your blog. Next is a google conversation so that it can give a complete summary of the contents.

It is exhausting. You can't keep up with this.
