Microsoft is really hitting it out of the park with its AI-generated travel stories! If you visit Ottawa, it highly recommends the Ottawa Food Bank and provides a tip for tourists: “Consider going into it on an empty stomach.”

I didn't believe you, I thought surely this was parody. But no. It's still there, 5 days after it was published.

@parismarx "The Ottawa Food Bank gives fresh and non-perishable food, as well as diapers and other necessities."

cool

@parismarx I love the fact that this content will make it's way back into Bard and ChatGPT again. The S-curve of bullshitting just gets started!

Cheap holidays in other people's misery.

@parismarx

@parismarx Poisoning these data mining "AI" is so fun.
@parismarx My apologies, I didn't believe it at 1st...but it's actually true! wow...
@parismarx “Canadian Museum of Nature is considered to be a national natural history museum and is located in Canada.” top notch writing right there 👍
@parismarx Holy hell that’s incredible
@parismarx they seem to have deleted it now
@parismarx at this point, it seems the rich are trying to keep the poor under control by sending vultures to eat their only meals.
@[email protected] Nice example for my presentation next week!
@parismarx then ChatGPT gets trained on this and then it makes a feedback loop

@parismarx honestly quite encouraged that your Boost stats for this are gaining on your Twitter RTs, like, your engagement here is really respectable.

.. which I only checked because media seem to still only acknowledge Twitter (still largely not calling it by its new name) as valid social media and refer to your Twitter post of this, but not your Mastodon one. Wondering how long it will take for Fedi to replace the stupid X, but expecting they'll just wait to see if bsky or Threads seems to be winning 🙄
