“It’s kind of looking grim for the future of the internet” 😢

"To browse the internet today, to consume any sort of content at all, is to be bombarded with AI of all sorts. People think things that are fake are real, things that are real are fake" 👉🏻 https://archive.is/rPLjp

And this is why I hang out in #Mastodon nowadays 😜👇🏻

"It’s that I have a finite time on this earth that I mostly want to spend interacting with other human beings"

Even if you believe that AI is great for productivity you can probably still see that human writing has intrinsic value that AI generated content does not have.

That's why we're building a way to ensure you are reading work by real humans.

Just unfollowed a YouTuber I liked because he's leaning too heavily into #GenAI. It's one thing to try it out to see what it's like and properly critique it but it's another to lean fully into it and use it as a segue to an ad for an #AISlop company. Disgusting.

This is a kind of advertising I can get behind. Human created, nothing but a rake and some skill needed, and it's gone with the next tide. Awesome.

I'm just reminded of how undermining people's trust in science and experts - as done by tobacco and fossil fuel advertising campaigns - is a strategy of propaganda and even psychological warfare.

They're still doing that. But now we even have the extra level of having to mistrust ART and HUMANITY and even CASUAL CHITCHAT because it could be LLM slop.

And it feels like an intentional attempt to break our trust, just as with "oh, what do doctors know about lung cancer, what do geoscientists know about the climate". Trying to exhaust us into believing we can't trust our discernment any more. Can't trust what we see, what we like, what makes us human. Can't trust ourselves... Do they think we'll be grateful for our slop overlords to save us? That won't happen.

Like all propaganda, it's dangerous, but it is not all-powerful. Being aware of propaganda techniques is the best defense against them. Actively seeking out trustworthy sources of information is the next step. But most of mastodon seem to be on that already.
