@melanyabelta #ALT4you

Nested comment thread. Original comment: @Daojoan
My 9 year old and his classmates have started using "that's Al" to mean "I don't believe you." Me: we're having dinosaur meat for dinner. Kiddo: that's Al

Second comment from Susan Kaye Quinn: They've lost the 9yos

Third comment from @comraderobot: is it good when your product becomes hip slang for "bullshit"

Thank you! I posted while tired and hadn't realized I didn't put in alt text. I have C&P'd this into the edit.

Haha! My kid, aged 12, keeps saying this too! When I say something she thinks is stupid or, say, forget the car keys etc. I hear "Dad's AI!".

And that's hilarious!

On a more serious note though, kids are able to spot small glitches and anomalies that adults easily overlook in AI generated content. And I believe no artificial approximation of reality will ever reach the level of perfection to pass kids' eyes unnoticed.

I'm definitely able to tell. Even when it's not overt, it gives me a really unsettling feeling and, sure enough, when I look a little closer, there's all kinds of little things that are off.

Hey, cherish that ability of yours!

What I was trying to convey is that I think the adult brain is wired to look at things as whole and to smooth out minor irregularities that don't quite fit in the picture. While I'm not a psychologist I believe this phenomenon is recognised in psycholgy. Maybe someone here knows?

I've had a suspicion that being autistic might play a big factor since I have a hard time tuning out details like that.

@shadowdancer @jargoggles @melanyabelta A soon to be psychologist here. Yeah they are different ways of thinking that usually get used in different situations and people have their own preferences for thinking, for instance autistic people significantly prefer detail oriented thinking. Both styles of thinking have their pros and cons. Kids more often than not prefer using detail oriented thinking, because that is expected of them in school. It can also depend on the amount of competence/information one has, for instance an expert in a field may sometimes instinctually say "yeah that's not going to work" on a hunch without conciously thinking about the details. Same with people that get to interact with a lot of images and with time gain competence in recognizing machine generated input. Both styles of thinking may actually be useful in that situation

"That's AI" is the new "That's BS".

#Enshittification by design:

Initially, information promised to set us free, to democratize the world, ease our labor, provide a just share of the Earth's wealth to all.This prospect threatened the powers-that-be, the illegitimate elite. So they pulled a Judo move. Flood the media with so much slop that it is normal to distrust media, to live in bubble realities that your search engine custom creates for you, like a Matrix pod.

~ Frank Zappa.

So you have crazy insight? Yeah, me too. We all live in our bubble realities. It's normal. We're all deluded. Who knows what's real anyway?

We're just sitting in the fog of Rashomon station, passing a joint around, recalling different pasts. There's nothing but subjectivity. No objective past. No history. No epistemology. Victors rewrite history. And Big Brother won, "democratically". Big Brother knows best. 🤪
