Dear Fedi friends,
I'd like to put together a list of people who are publicly resisting / calling out LLMs and AI slop.
Why? I enjoy reading my Fediverse feed in topical lists and I need something to counteract the unrelenting AI hype I see in the media.
Do you have any recommendations?
So far, at the top of my list I have:
@timnitGebru @emilymbender and @alexhanna of @DAIR
plus @cwebber @jaredwhite and @tante
Anyone else to recommend who advocates for #NoAI?

Related: Human visitors to Wikipedia declined by about 8% in 2025.

PS: I'm not surprised that #AI tools are having these effects. They answer questions directly and cut the need to click through to sources, even when they link to sources.
But I haven't yet seen data on the effects at academic journals. Have you?

@matdevdug speaks my mind. This is why I love Mastodon and the Fediverse.

This has implications for those working with anonymised free-text and interview transcript data, as guaranteed anonymisation of this type of data has become essentially impossible. #LLMs #DataGovernance #infosec
