As if #AISlop was not bad enough, it's racist too.

FTA: "McDonald's is developing AI drive-thru technology with Google that is now about 90 percent accurate."
It's that 10% that they'll fuck up in your order.

Folks, the stupid is strong in this one. Gaze upon the stupidity and despair.

I am sure there are a few #librarians who should know better drooling over this #AISlop.
As for me, I using recently the NO AI set up for Duck Duck Go.

FTA: "Velotta points to the impossible cultural squeeze these kids are dealing with—told simultaneously to project alpha dominance and to shut up and make space. An AI that welcomes you without judgment starts to look pretty good by comparison."

Hasbro releases AI versions of its iconic characters, including Transformers https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/hasbro-ai-characters-9.7223872
Why you might ask? FTA: "The company said it started the initiative partly because "millions of consumers are already encountering unauthorized versions of popular characters across chat, voice, gaming, and content creation platforms."
So they needed their own version of #AISlop to prevent any other #sloperator or #cogsucker on their turf.
Optimus Prime and Megatron just became robots in more than one sense. That's because Hasbro, the American toy and games giant, released artificial intelligence versions of 12 popular characters — a move experts say could bring potential risks to kids along with the fun.
Fuck, even the #USGovernment is paying for #AISlop.

Yea, but #academia and #HigherEd, including #librarians who should know better, say "fuck that shit! We want and will play for #AISlop tools for our institutions because..."

Side note: And speaking of #AISlop, in light of the webinar I just watched, one of the presenters who was a professor (not at U of Chicago) mentioned their campus had some #sloperator enterprise system they paid for.
Ugh.

Takeaway: Skills #librarians need to keep and do:
> Prompt engineering
> Verifying and evaluating information and sources (librarians have always done this and need to keep doing it).
> Spend as little time as possible using #AISlop (some half hearted acknowledgement of the environmental costs).
