Perhaps, but you can tell that these cards were made by real people. The art, messages, etc. are all different with varying levels of humor, seriousness, etc. LLMs really seem to converge to specific patterns regardless of the task that are instantly identifiable and low quality. What ends up happening is that the person on the other end thinks “this guy is a moron, he needed a robot to write out a happy birthday card?” Sure getting the hallmark card is mass produced, but they really do hire real artists and writers to make these cards. The robot creates a converged output that is instantly identifiable and has perceived lower quality.

That one from IKEA was designed by actual people though. If I had a chair designed by robots it probably wouldn’t be as nice, comfortable and evidently, affordable.

We all know the company is going to be Amazon lol.

Portmanteau of slop and staccato I think?

I am so glad the party of small government is in charge.

Nah but his wife did; well I guess that is not true, it was on a stage with pyrotechnics. Not even cold and his wife is making NYE look like a proper funeral, poor lad.

Thankfully their leadership is leading the way in ethics since inception, so I am confident that no such shenanigans will ever take place. I may even bet on this.

Honestly if he was a Nazi that would be less worse than whatever the fuck he is.

It may be more productive to ask what is right with burning fossil fuels for electricity right in the middle of marginalized communities that have to bear the cost of this pollution for AI slop.

That was also my interpretation from reading LotR as well.

I mean this genuinely; that was a very well written piece. Well said!

Okay but it is probably not going to be a tool that will be reliable or work as expected for too long depending on how complex it is, how easily it can be understood, and how it can handle updates to libraries, etc. that it is using.

Also, what is our trust with this “tool”? E.g. this is to be used in a brain surgery that you’ll undergo, would you still be fine with using something generated by AI?

Earlier you couldn’t even read something it generated, but we’ll trust a “tool” it created because we believe it works? Why do we believe it will work? Because a computer created it? That’s our own bias towards computing that we assume that it is impartial but this is a probabilistic model trained on data that is just as biased as we are.

I cannot imagine that you have not witnessed these models creating false information that you were able to identify. Understanding their failure on basic understandings, how then could we trust it with engineering tasks? Just because “it works”? What does that mean and how can we be certain? QA perhaps but ask any engineer here if companies are giving a single shit about QA while they’re making them shove out so much slop, and the answer is going to be disappointing.

I don’t think we should trust these things even if we’re not developers. There isn’t anyone to hold accountable if (and when) things go wrong with their outputs.

All I have seen AI be extremely good at is deceiving people, and that is my true concern with generative technologies. Then I must ask, if we know that its only effective use case is deception, why then should I trust ANY tool it created?

Maybe the stakes are quite low, maybe it is just a video player that you use to watch your Sword and Sandal flicks. Ok sure, but maybe someone uses that same video player for an exoscope and the data it is presenting to your neurosurgeon is incorrect causing them to perform an action they otherwise would have not done if provided with the correct information.

We should not be so laissez-faire with this technology.

I was completely unaware that Maduro was a foreign colonial power like Britain.

Forgive me for not understanding, why do we need AI? Can't we use pen to paper or a tape recorder? What advantage does the AI bring here?

I suspect that if they are to ever implement ads I think they would be using existing methods and technologies. So in Duolingo if you finish a lesson you have an ad at the end, I can imagine after 5 prompts or whatever you get a full screen ad that you cannot skip out of. Also they may use other things like banner ads in addition to ads embedded in the scroll feed. They also may do something like what Meta did with having the option to share the AI slop with other users, and there is where I would suspect the ads to be placed as well. I do not think we will see if you ask ChatGPT to give you directions for the Heimlich that it will also tell you about a great deal at Del Taco. I do not think these corpos are going to let some clanker dictate what the ad is, they want full control on their message, so they're going to use techniques that are well understood and have metrics that can be well understood to their customers.

it's almost like there actually isn't any innovation
