Do you like security and also music?

@1Sauerlaender Current AI models are absolutely rubbish at generating accurate birds. Crows don't look like that. And if you knew your species habitat ranges you'd note that if this "photo" would've been taken in Sweden, they would be hooded crows and not the black carrion crows. A large group of carrion crows like that in a city park would be a sensation.

I never thought my birding interest would be actually useful in discerning information accuracy on the internet. Stop counting fingers and start looking at the birds when determining if something is AI slop! The text is of course still a good giveaway in this case.

@fondoffawns @grrlscientist props to the guard not to question why you would want to dump apple sauce mid-ocean. 😄
@grrlscientist I once met a Laysan Albatross. It was nearly a religious experience, such a beautiful bird! She had ridden into the Port of Oakland on a fishing vessel. I was working as a volunteer at the Lindsay Museum where she ended up. She needed a ride back out to mid ocean so we arranged to have her ride on a large freighter headed for Asia with someone on board who agreed to release her midway. I was delivering her to that ship.
When I arrived at the port, the security guard had been advised that I would be coming.
He greeted me with,”Are you the gal with the apple sauce ?”
I corrected him. He didn’t care 😂
LLMs are not automation. That would have economic value. The generated text artefacts look coherent and we, as a society, don’t even value the coherent kind. We underpay most forms of writing. Even code has no inherent value (see open source) outside of the associated integration and expertise
