Throwing one more story into the "Is AI going to replace all jobs?" folder.

@pier or not a native speaker? @evacide

[energisch_@troet.cafe]

@zl2tod probably not @evacide

[pier@infosec.exchange]

@energisch_ @evacide It is possible that “Sasha Rogelberg” writing for Yahoo Finance is a non-native speaker, but seems unlikely. I think it’s much more likely that they are under extreme pressure, probably had most of their team laid off, and either chose to or were required to use an LLM to write the story. Not saying it’s a false story, seems like it’s probably true. But the slop makes it un-trustworthy. And I am so fucking tired of having to wonder about every article, “is this real or just completely made up?” Not exactly a hot take around here, I know.

@CptSuperlative @evacide That's what I thought, too. Surely they just need to amp up the obsequious pandering, Maybe hallucinate some strategic distractions and scapegoating, to make the managers happy again.

“It started off not particularly accurate and got less accurate over time,” Addison said.

This is almost beyond satire

Well, it started badly, it tailed off a little in the middle, and the less said about the end, the better. But, apart than that, excellent. - Blackadder

@pier of course but in the end my guess is it'll cost way more to use LLM for journalistic work. In assistanc, maybe, for rough translations. But not for the main Job.

@evacide echoes Dell quietly dropping Bitcoin as a payment method.

[guy_bockamp@mastodon.social]

@evacide I really think you are getting this wrong.

@evacide
But I still don't understand how it was supposed to work. Image recognition?

@tk @evacide Not fast enough

@congusbongus @evacide “It started off not particularly accurate and got less accurate over time,” was also in my clipboard. The quote was probably not delivered as it would be in a British comedy show but it reads as though it should be.

[damonwakes@mastodon.sdf.org]

@pier @evacide That reads more human to me. It's the kind of mistake you might get from deciding to flip the order during editing and not quite finishing the job. Slop text tends to be superficially polished (no typos, etc.) but mostly waffle.

@evacide A search engine that can't even pull correct numbers from its database is a shitty search engine.

@evacide I'm happy the press starts to put some bearish pressure on AI, that's how to pop a bubble

[flawgren@mastodon.nu]

@evacide The fact that they don't seem to understand that I don't actually want to talk to anyone, especially not a chatbot, before I have my coffee, clearly demonstrates their gross incompetence.

[lennybacon@infosec.exchange]

@guy_bockamp @evacide Care to explain?

[garyjr@fosstodon.org]

@evacide can't count beverage ingredients but it will absolutely do everything else possible right?

[moskitohero@ruby.social]

@benroyce @wwahammy @evacide yeah, it's purple and has stars around it!!! So exciting!

[wraptile@fosstodon.org]

@evacide This is not LLM btw. It's warehouse management system that used lidar to track items. It's GOOD technology that we want to succeed - nobody should work warehouse inventory manually.

AI hate is so unserious.
