#ai-is-bullshit — Public Fediverse posts

Åh, det her er guld værd!

Som @reynir lige gjorde mig opmærksom på, så erkender Microsoft i deres anvendelsesbetingelser, at den "AI", de har tvunget ind i hele deres styresystem, Office-suite og udviklerplatformen Github... kun er et legetøj:

Has anyone noticed that in the last 6-8 weeks the AI Slop has now started to dominate Instagram too?

Just for fun this morning I watched someone build an underground den in buried shipping containers. Not only did the size of the containers increase every time he brought new furniture in; but he was able to get an absolutely huge TV in through a tiny little hatch.

The resin floors are hilarious. I'm guessing these guys never actually paid for any resin when they pour around £80,000 of the stuff onto some cotton wool to make "clouds" nor do they realise resin is quite dense and would squash most things they pour it onto flat

The worrying thing though was the comments - about half recognised it was AI, but the remainders described it as beautiful and amazing.

@nomenloony I wonder whether the LLM used the back cover of Hawkwind’s 1979 album PXR5 as part of its training material. Great album though.

So while setting up the Ubuntu system I used the supplied Firefox without any adblockers and with google as the search engine. I ran about 15 searches for quite specific things like dpkg commands and the like.

Every query got the Gemini "ai" answer at the top. And every one of these was wrong. Every. Single. One.

Incorrect package names. Wrong command options. Stuff that didn't apply to 25.04 or even Ubuntu generally.

How clueless does one have to be to hype this BS?

It’s not mine and it’s from 2018 but definitely even more relevant these days when it comes to the whole AI thing.

"Many popular discussions of ChatGPT call its false statements ‘hallucinations’. One also might think of these untruths as lies. However, we argue that this isn’t the right way to think about it. We will argue that these falsehoods aren’t hallucinations later – in Sect. 3.2.3. For now, we’ll discuss why these untruths aren’t lies but instead are bullshit."

I play a song by The Jesus and Mary Chain; I talk a little about seeing The Jesus and Mary Chain in concert; the big dog is getting treated for heartworms; I’m staying in the developer relations slack for now; I am so glad I don’t have to take jobs with AI firms seriously; I never used my real job title; Jason Scott eulogizes Cheshire Catalyst; things go from useful to junk to historically interesting; I am enjoying throwing decaying photo albums away; I am going to collage bullshit photographs; Jackie Kashian lost her patience with button pushers; I am no longer rounding up transactions for charity; I watched True Detective Seasons 3 and 4.

I guess at least this time it didn't tell me to install Tidal on my phone or start playing "Country Roads”.

This shit used to work, Apple.
