Ars TechnicaMicrosoft AI suggests food bank as a “cannot miss” tourist spot in Canada
AI-penned Microsoft Travel article recommends food bank as if it were a famous restaurant.
bk@arstechnica #enshittification : restaurant recommendation edition
Phil Landmeier@arstechnica Just what we need, more idiots in the world. And now we have artificial idiots. Whoo hoo!
Locksmith@shuttersparks @arstechnica Next: AI will recommend Four Seasons Total Landscaping as a key site of historical significance in Philadelphia.
Well, ok, it would not be entirely incorrect.
Sheeb@arstechnica "Locally sourced ingredients"
"Menu changes daily"
Brad T@arstechnica Literally ends that part of the writeup with "Consider going into it on an empty stomach"...
GFH_oheffllc@arstechnica #miserableai "The Ottawa Food Bank gives fresh and non-perishable food, as well as diapers and other necessities. © Provided by Microsoft Travel (Diasporaresource Image).... Life is already difficult enough. Consider going into it on an empty stomach." #ai a miserable waste of attention.
SaftyKumaCan we all just agree these LLMs are a scam like Crypto and move on from them?
Urethramancer🐀@SaftyKuma @arstechnica Well, the LLM tools for programming have been pretty useful. But relying on them for facts and news isn't going so well :)
Jay Peach@Urethramancer @SaftyKuma @arstechnica LLM is useful for beginner programmers who don’t know jack shit about programming.
@jaypeach53 @SaftyKuma @arstechnica They kinda aren'. Beginners wouldn't know what to do with much of the output. At least with Copilot, there's a tendency to produce stubs which don't work alone, rather than complete programs.
Kevan@arstechnica @sclower Proof that AI isn't perfect.

Poverty tourism is the newest thing.
Whenever I see people wearing torn jeans I do not know whether they are rich enough to afford pre-torn jeans or too poor to afford not torn jeans.

weakish@the5thColumnist @arstechnica It is not difficult to distinguish most (if not all) pre-torn jeans from real torn jeans.
@lib @arstechnica
Well I'm not about to go up to someone I don't know and examine ther jeans closely enough to find out. Everyone i kow well enough to do that earns the tears in their jeans the old fashioned way.

conors 🪈@arstechnica as far as I know these AIs don't get paid, so the food bank is usually their only food source
YurkshireLad@arstechnica oh for feck's sake Microsoft. Would you please stop using ChatGPT, it isn't AI. It doesn't do what you think it does! Sheesh. #ottawa
DeathByDenim@YurkshireLad @arstechnica Ouch! "Consider going into it on an empty stomach."
it's B! Cavello 🐝@arstechnica image description: exterior photo of the food bank, a brick warehouse building with an empty parking lot and some decorative banners hanging between the windows

#Microsoft is now essentially (metaphorically) a ‘subsidiary’ of #OpenAI (asymmetric, highly leveraged distribution model)
There’ll be TONS more sh*t like this to come... until it’s normalized and ignored – paving the way for “Dawn of the #AI Misinformation / Disinformation Age” 🤦🏻♂️
