You gave a stranger with no soul and no skin in the game the keys to everything you own.

@beyondmachines1 To be fair, AI has its use, right? Maybe the business model just got to be better, maybe token count might need tweaking -- maybe put weight to something like output value, rather than input/output count.
To be sure, AI should not replace humans, rather augment us.

@kepeken spacing paragraphs and using short sentences is not an indicator of LLMs. It's what we used to call "effective writing" back when I was young.
Which is why it's used by LLMs, of course, since they're trained on stuff that survived and is available (so, likely, the most effective).
Also, it's been the standard communication style on LinkedIn for several years as well so any corpo would probably try to emulate it.

@pgcd @kepeken to me that also read as LLM slop, and not just because of the short sentences.

[pgcd@mastodon.online]

@jaseg I know, and I agree that it _looks_ like AI slop. But that doesn't mean it _is_ AI slop, since the whole point of LLMs is to make stuff that looks like a human could've written it.
Not all cans of Campbell's soup are a Warhol painting, I mean (although some are).

@jaseg @kepeken
Folx, don't accuse other people of slop if you're basing on vibes only.

As @pgcd mentioned “AI” extrusions are designed to mimic human works.

And yes, you can fondle a prompt to do this, yet I would argue that there is less chance for an “AI”-critical person to do this.

[pgcd@mastodon.online]

@dzwiedziu well said.

Also, TBH, this is one case where I agree with the message enough that I'd be sharing it even if it had been written by Elmo Skum.

@beyondmachines1 Don't forget that AI consumes power and water but is not a consumer and will not be buying products and services in the way that people would. Thus, CEOs have sufficiently increased the cost of creating products and services and have completely eliminated income from consumers who can no longer buy them. Lose lose.

@fightscore @beyondmachines1 Real AI sure, but the stochastic parrot LLMs not so much. I used to call them "machine lying" but lying requires knowledge of true and false and LLMs do not have that.

@raymaccarthy @beyondmachines1 It's really expected - they're just adhering to the hype that Generative Autocomplete can do all things humans do. If they were at least adopting it as a *tool* and not joining that specific hype, they'd be able to see that problem right away, or at least avoid it...

this isnt going to matter to any c suite retards until ai bankrupts a large company (which seems unlikely) and they start a trend of posting on linkedin about the problem.

@beyondmachines1 Perfect - now CEOs can have fun

@BeyondMachines :verified: in particular the part regarding the complete access always leaves me baffled. i still remember a time when nearly all business emails had footers consisting of something like an NDA:

this is confidential. if you recieved this mail in error, shoot yourself, delete the mail and burn all your computers.

and now every manager is happily handing out everything to google, microsoft, agentic ai aso.

[fh0@mastodon.social]

@toriver @fightscore @beyondmachines1 sounds like you never experienced an LLM finding the source of a production bug based on log files, code and given context, in less than 10min where you would have needed at least half a day

@beyondmachines1 forget about bitcoin, AI tokens are the new currency.

[chantaryu2@pataterie.ca]

@beyondmachines1 me at work:"Hey that AI icon thing on Jira, is that new?"
Guy in charge:" Oh we don't know why Atlassian turned it on. We definitely don't want people to use it because Atlassian says it's 'free for now' and won't tell us what it will cost later.. We don't want people to get used to it if we can't predict the cost."
The day after, the icon was gone. Not everyone in tech is a mindless drone. I usually like ny job.

No. GenAI just needs to die.

@beyondmachines1 I just wish it would blow up in their faces more spectacularly. Like, with a bigger boom and not "quiet realization".
