Oooh, and a couple of other noteworthy quotes from that fab article:

"Less has been said about the cognitive load of what other people’s AI use is doing to the rest of us, and the insidious nature of having to navigate an internet and a world where lazy AI has infiltrated everything"

"[…] what I have been noticing is a sameness, a homogenizing of large parts of the internet, including places I often felt were very human"

“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.

Em ratlla que quan trobo una guia de passos, recepta, un tutorial estructurat o decorat amb emojis i títols clars, ja quasi sempre dubto si estic perdent el temps llegint merda autogenerada.

Els humans ens equivoquem, tenim opinions, i ho assumeixo, però em repulsa trobar-me errors i "opinions" inconsistents que estadísticament semblen llegibles.

Internet ja s'estava omplint de merda abans del chatGPT, amb tots els articles SEO-optimized, click-bait i "10 coses que..." No hi ha gaire diferència. El que m'aclapara és l'escala de tot això i que ara no només ho fan els blogs clarament orientats a marketing indiscriminat, qualsevol pringat o web mig-reputable pot caure en les temptacions de no cuidar els seus textos.

El que em pregunto jo és... per què ho fan? Per què tenen un bloc o una web si l'únic que volen són visites? Tant poc els interessa la qualitat i la veracitat del seu contingut? Tant poc els motiva aprendre, explicar, exposar...?

També em preocupa que els humans estiguin copiant l'estil d'escriure textos de la IAG. No podria odiar més l'homogeneïtzació cultural i artística.
