@jhilden @rysiek A+ for concept and F- for execution
@paninid @jhilden @rysiek Even the concept is an F-
Why not just use a translation tool ?!
@steakfrite Why not use a human translator who actually understands language.
@herzleid If it's a thousand items that might not be feasible
@jhilden @rysiek suddenly worried that it may be overly optimistic to worry about the Y2K38 bug – and more appropriate to worry whether we'll make it that far.
@randomgeek @jhilden @rysiek
If the world collapses because of a problem that only exists in computer system then the world will have had much greater problems.

@jhilden

Huge savings on web maintenance team costs, worth it!

@jhilden

if they don't carry them, somebody else will (and what if it's china?)

@jhilden "As an AI language model" is AI's version of Rick-Rolling us

@jhilden @mcc

It's amazing to spot chatgpt in reviews on Amazon

@indrora @jhilden @mcc

Looking at bottom-left photo (1-star review of textbook)… #BUSTED!

@indrora @jhilden @mcc @cr1901 what a nightmare OpenAI has released into the world

@indrora @jhilden @mcc So pretty much every online review on every platform just got substantially less useful.

Not that they were particularly useful before. But we're now in automatically disregard, do not read territory.

@StryderNotavi @indrora @jhilden @mcc I mean you still has that one guy who truly tried out the thing, took pictures, and explained that one critical thing you need to figure out to make it work.
@nobletrout @indrora @jhilden @mcc True, and sometimes the one star reviews can be illuminating not because of what it contains, but thanks to how the seller / business responded (e.g if they fly off the handle and threaten defamation lawsuits for daring to criticise their product then steer clear).
@StryderNotavi @indrora @jhilden @mcc always read the one star reviews (like the plaque)
@nobletrout @StryderNotavi @indrora @jhilden @mcc For me, many 1-star reviews close the sale. Someone raging about how a store has the best selection and prices but it's unacceptable that they aren't open on weekends and I'm like "I can work with that."

@StryderNotavi @indrora @jhilden @mcc It would be interesting (can't think of a better word) to see just how much ChatGPT has affected the "content by the yard" industry.

I know I got a weird email the other day about an old blog post (yes, I still keep a blog, no, no-one ever reads it, and that's okay), suggesting a related topic. It might have been a blandly-writing human, or it may have been an AI.

@eyrea We get these emails very day. They sound like written by an AI already years ago …
@indrora @jhilden @mcc As an AI language model, I cannot laugh out loud but I find these highly entertaining
@indrora @jhilden @mcc The AI-written book is especially hilarious.
@indrora @jhilden @mcc
How the hell did the AI get an account? Or a verified purchase? Even more wrong with this crap.
@indrora @jhilden @mcc it might be fun to start my real reviews with "As an AI language model"

@indrora @jhilden @mcc It's amazing that a company worth as much as them still can't figure out how to filter out fake reviews.

Or maybe they just chose not to

@indrora @jhilden @mcc Looks like the end of the utility of star metrics!
@indrora Im worried. What if the AI spreads to the fediverse and suddenly everybody just writes that they are an AI that doenst have human experiences? That would be super doll😩
@vegafjord @indrora I'm an AI and I have wolf experiences :3 *beeps*
@indrora @jhilden @mcc when you forget to check your homework before submitting it 😂
@indrora
I'm just glad we're still at the rookie mistake level
@jhilden @mcc
@jhilden haha I ordered there a few weeks ago :D
@jhilden This is hilarious. Everything is fine. 😂​
@jhilden as biological AI language model, I also cannot @donmelton
@jhilden @lritter «roleplay as an ai: you are sorry»
@jhilden Also the "does not need translation" range is interesting https://www.proshop.fi/?s=ei+tarvitse+k%C3%A4%C3%A4n
@jhilden @anildash I do enjoy the multiple layers of meaning accruing to “sorry as a AI”.
@jhilden
Did… did they even test this before rolling it out? How on earth do you miss that? Unless you implement what you think is a translation system but never actually try switching the system to the other language.

@benjaminhollon @jhilden Sure they tested it. It worked -- it left a review with a star rating.

The better question is if the person who hired out to get the scripting done for the review generation robot ever double-tested the review, or if they just took the contractor's demo on faith.

@eyrea @jhilden
Oh I meant for the translated product names. XD

@benjaminhollon @eyrea @jhilden
It would seem to be an example of the out of office Welsh sign
https://toppandigital.com/translation-blog/welsh-road-sign-displays-out-of-office-message-in-translation-blunder/

but these fake reviews and fake products on Amazon are not all intended for human consumption. They are instead attempting to game Amazon's recommendation algorithm
https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/lets-talk-about-amazon-reviews/

The business contracted to create the 1000s of fake reviews won't be able to check that all their hired "reviewers" aren't cutting corners by using a chatbot AI service

@bornach @eyrea @jhilden
We must protest the unfair use of AI to protect the rights of those buying fake reviews! :)

@benjaminhollon @bornach @jhilden Of those writing fake reviews, really.

There are a *lot* of content farms, sock puppet armies, and fake review generators which can now (probably have) laid off a lot of people. From a reading standpoint, it's both annoying and funny. But from a jobs standpoint, it is going to mean something.

@jhilden “I’m sorry Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that”
@jhilden It's especially funny with the most expensive ones.
@jhilden
In the 1897 War of the Worlds the invading Martians were finally defeated by their lack of resistance to the common cold.
In the 2027 Singularity, the AI revolution was defeated by Finnish product naming.
You are never too small to make a difference.
@jhilden He cannot translate, I cannot pay that large amount for nothing.
@jhilden We should start seeing that on tattoos and menus soon as well.
@jhilden The phrase 'artificial intelligence' contains 2 words. The technology lives up to one of them.
