😡🖕

Fuck Generative AI, coz:

  • largest theft of private IP in human history
  • generates authoritative bullshit via unsolvable hallucination
  • massive water & energy demands as climate crisis intensifies

None of the diverse ‘journalists’ writing for this Aussie news site are real

A fully automated news site with no journalists shows how easily AI can mimic credibility – and how exposed Australia is to manipulation.

@PabloMartini more #genAIslop
The right loves this stuff because it's a fascist project. There is NO need to use these products that rip off artists to illustrate a point.
Pixabay, Unsplash, wikimedia commons, Flickr and the creative commons exist.
Last straw, laziness, lack of credibility. #AI;dr

@PabloMartini no, I don't think any writers should use AI slop to illustrate their work. Visual arts are also creative work. #genAIslop

I’ve been watching ‘The Matter of Facts’ #ABC series with #HamishMcDonald and found it very interesting. In this age of #AISlop and #AIFakes, disinformation warfare and addiction to social media, it is a potent reminder that we are not helpless. We can stop the #TechBros from #algorithmically anialating our ability to discern fact from falacy.

I particularly liked the take on Taiwan where the #Tech is being used against #GenAISlop and #DisInformation to strengthen democracy.

Enjoyable series to watch, waiting for forthcoming episodes.

This garbage is infecting my feeds.
I block, but it keeps coming back under a new name. Hateful. #GenAISlop

#GenAISlop in #universities whose basic function is to teach research and critical thinking skills as well as rhetoric? Why doesn’t that make sense I wonder… Who’s running these would be saussage factories anyway?

Trying to learn actual programming right now sucks. This was supposed to be a Unity tutorial.

All good stuff. But Google doc? Really? I won’t be going there anytime soon.

@craigduncan
why wouldn’t the academic staff just boycott this #GenAISlop #Takeover and refuse to have anything to do with it. That would stop this insanity dead cold. Unions ought to have a go at frustrating the #Managerialists ‘ efforts to turn the #tertiary institution into a laughing stock post #IABubble burst.

And the Q. remains who gains ($$$) from this over-the-cliff decision?

To AI there should be a qualified YES, but to GenAI there must be an uncontroversial NO. We don’t need more #AISlop.
