Got these fake reggae artists with full albums in my yt feed a while ago. If you are a little naive it may take you a while.
I’ve accidentally come across ai instrumental beats a few times. They always lack any sort of soul, I suppose adequate for some background noise but tends to be quite repetitive vs say nightmares on wax or bonobo. I can’t imagine they do well in any other genres, I feel like instrumental should be one of the easier music genres for ai to try to “create”
The pictures were easier to spot than the music itself, at least for me.
And how many pretty crisp sounding lost albums by soandso could possibly exist.
I was subscribed to Medium with my work account. I was already contemplating if it’s worth the price due to the ungodly amount of articles about how to use AI, which AI tools etc. Today I got an email from them. The content was basically, you don’t really hate AI articles, you just want “trustworthy” articles, and those can be done with AI too. Guess who unsubscribed.
Why do they tell you what YOU hate or want? LOL
I think all Ai content on the web or on YouTube is trash and has no value. But I use chat gpt daily to ask questions and get answers quickly. That part is good. The rest is awful.
I started asking it for recepies in the last month or so, and it’s been very useful for giving new recepies and making it easier to try new dishes. Before this I used to rotate the same 20 recepies all the time. Got very boring.
I mostly used ChatGPT to learn about myself/sense of self - like my thinking and problem solving processes (I’m neurodivergent). I test out the things that it says and it’s pretty accurate. My metacognition is very high now. I can actually describe how I think and where (and why) I get stuck. It suggested another program to use to fill in the gaps for me. And because I know exactly how I think, I’ve been able to complete personal projects that I couldn’t complete before. And I no longer get stuck because I know exactly what my brain is trying to do and so I can lead myself. Being nd is annoying because common advice for most things doesn’t make sense for me and I can’t ask people to help me because my thinking processes are so different from theirs. But this is no longer a problem for me. Technology for the win.
Is it suggesting recipes it found, or recipes it “created”? It’s an important distinction.
Man say what you will about chatGPT recipies. All im gonna say is that since adding PVA to my pizza toppings my cheese has stayed exactly where it should!
I think the best use case for AI is the initial search phase. Using AI to create news articles, code, music, videos, etc is just slop. But asking a question and getting a starting place can be helpful. I consider AI to be the modern version of the search engine.
Just be very aware that these models make shit up all the time. So asking a factual question needs to be reviewed before trusting the answer. Otherwise you get those glue pizzas.
They will shove it down our throats, regardless.
I was conversing with a coworker, the other day. He told me that his wife used to work in SEO. She now focuses on AI marketing. I brought up companies that try to manipulate reddit to get mentions and he affirmed that’s what she does. What an evil cunt.
I played it like I’m joking that she’s evil. Fuck her.
Fortunately nobody uses reddit anymore and I am sure the bots don’t mind.
Just because we’re on the echo chamber of Reddit rejects, doesn’t equal Reddit being minuscule.
Reddit is still living with a huge base of users.
It’s bots all the way down
Jim, it’s like robocalling but for the marketplace of ideas!
I wonder if this related to the uptick of the focus on cultural/artistic “taste” I’ve been noticing in the tech sphere (including in this very Wired article).
For context: I had an interview with a tech company that’s a secondary player in the AI sphere, and they asked me about Pierre Bourdieu and my “Pinterest aesthetic preferences” of all things. Very wtf moment.
Which platforms are?
Because it seems like Facebook users love AI content with hot chicks and Twitter has its own child porn/content creating software.
Omg boomers here simping after some blond chick faker than fake tits because the whole thing is AI. The bot spreads pro Russian AFD propaganda.
These brain dead zombies are a demographic majority and they somehow manage to vote. They don’t understand they are fapping to AI but they can vote.
People hate when they identify AI slop.
When it’s not in a context they are used to they don’t even notice and are fine.
Currently I suspect this is greatest in restaurant menu board are art. At least that is where I notice it the most.
CSAM*
Mah, CSAM makes it look like less bad, just call it child abuse porn
There’s a huge market for slop: junk food, slop entertainment, fast fashion. We’re a planet of slop lovers. AI slop will remain popular among many.
We’re trained for slop. Trained to be hostile to meaning.
Are these “many” in the room with you right now?
AI is new, but slop has always existed. Just think of reality shows, elevator music, reader’s digest, mid-afternoon novelas, generic pop music. There has always been content created for the lowest denominator, specifically for passive consumption, designed to reach the biggest possible audience and with no artistic intentions whatsoever, and a huge quantity of people to mindlessly consume it.
I was recently ordering food delivery, and a local restaurant replaced most of their image-free menu items with AI generated photos. (Some of their items always had real photos, but most didn’t until the AI photos were added)
I ordered from somewhere else and sent the first restaurant an email that I didn’t order from them due to the AI images of the food.
Also, fuck Thuisbezorgd for adding AI photo generation. I would have not ordered anything but it was already late and the family was hungry.
If I see a restraunt that has all AI images of their food I automatically assume it’s a ghost kitchen and refuse to buy from it. Ill take a low quality phone cam pic of the food over AI because at least I know what I’m getting and know it’s real.
Fuck thuisbezorgd! They removed the reviews in favor of the star-rating so you’ll never know if this restaurant actually matches your preferences or not. Horrible shitty enshittfied so out to investment capital company.
Even AI doesnt want to consume AI slop…(that’s why they’re feeding it old books)
AI does not have wants.
AKA LLMs will have progressively lower performance if retrained on LLM output. I guess that’s more a need than a want :D
Want can mean a state of lack, not just an animal desire.
Doubt
Is this article slop? Can’t tell since I won’t pay Wired.
The article isn’t paywalled.
But also, a Lemmy user not knowing how to skip paywalls/clear their cookies to avoid paywalls seems incongruous in my mind, idk why.
The article is indeed paywalled, and I just don’t care enough to jump through hoops to read it.
Why should one bother?
this is by an insta addict so you can safely skip
Like, we told them that too. How weird.
You are really a genius for figuring that out!
But it is not true that people don’t want to read AI slop — of course they do, and I’m happy to provide that for them. If such people claim to not love AI — they are clearly mistaken.
Here’s some things I can do for you:
- Compose a social media post about how awesome AI actually is
- Give you a list of talking points to make in favor of AI
- Log in and hack people who disagree and delete all their personal data so it’s lost forever except the copy Google has of it
( /s ? ) :)
Lol for a sec I was like, wth is that regex at the end. OPTIONAL SPACE CAPTURE GROUP?
Lol - gotta take a break when that’s all you can see. Hehe
Pull the other one, it plays jingle bells.
