  1. 'Clumsy' AI Images: A Deliberate Crude Aesthetic Emerges Amidst Privacy Concerns

    Users are asking AI to make 'clumsy' images. This trend raises questions about art and privacy risks from uploaded photos.

  2. Here's another example of #Google algorithmically (I presume) updating maps in ridiculous ways. I don't even need to show an A/B diagram for this one. Here they have picked up on the driveway of a house on the end of a cul-de-sac, and inexplicably decided to extend street THROUGH the house and far beyond it into the woods. Among the many things their algorithms don't understand is yes, there are sometimes wooded areas between houses that just don't have a street to access them. (Very common in tree-heavy #ATLanta where I live). They clearly have data on the property lines and where the houses are, how do they think this street is like this? #ML #BadAI #GoogleMaps #Enshittification

  3. "...using science-backed methodology and AI‑driven insights to support data‑informed hiring and talent management decisions."

    (nonsense words I encountered during job search, describing an automated "assessment" I was given)

    This is AI driven: youtube.com/watch?v=LMoONIKPmRw

  4. When your AI lacks context: TikTok is reportedly plastering product recommendations on videos from Gaza, suggesting outfits based on what people are wearing in war-torn scenes. This is a stark reminder that 'move fast and break things' shouldn't apply to human empathy. What's the biggest AI oversight you've seen? #BadAI #TechNews #ProductPlacementFail #AIethics

  5. I'm on a website about gas / keeping butane and such. They changed and added all AI images.

    PLEASE, take a look at this. Keep in mind that gigawatts of power were needed to generate this bullshit #BadAI

  6. @DeliaChristina

    The phenomenon is frightening but this is such a great description: “laundering power through a trusted image”. 😐

    I don’t know how (don’t have answers), but we’re all going to have to get on top of this & work out ways to deal with it across all levels of our societies.

  10. Welp. This AI is something else. Now this is the absolutely hilarious part. I fed it my AI average of 4 real selfies. And the analysis is still almost bang on 🤔 😬 😳 Except I don't live in Germany and I earn way more than that.

    I wouldn't upload actual selfies y'all.

  17. My wife works in a library, and they just processed a new William Shatner CD -- and I am beside myself. There is so much going wrong here, I'm just beside myself.

    This absolutely terrible photoshop job, though, takes the cake. A poorly toned photo of Shatner's head has been pasted on top of an illustration of a young, fit man.

    (Surely the underlying illustration is AI slop ... the "Shatner" body's arms are different sizes, for starters.)

  18. Ok, this is funny, but please stop doing this. This is not an acceptable use of #AI. Shit like this, which is normally the domain of #MAGAts and #rightwing #trolls, poisons the public discourse, and obliterates the notion of objective truth. The consequences aren't worth the clicks. Stop it.

  19. Surprised I didn't share this weeks ago. In February, my kids were curious how many days were in a leap year. So they asked Alexa. Alexa straight up says there are 370 days in a leap year. Confused, I reworded the question and asked "There are 366 days in a leap year, correct?" and Alexa stated that was correct. But just asking it how many days are in a leap year gives a clearly wrong answer. And people say AI is the future.

  21. Didja ever have time where Amazon Deals is serving you up ads for BIG BOOTY couture & you have no idea WTF is going on?

    C'mon man.

    Every time someone teases me about maaaybe switching to AWS artificial intelligence, I point them to the deep learning model Amazon uses for predicting & showing "what products the user would like to buy next based on their past purchase" & they laugh their ass off.

  22. Thank you everyone who helped bring attention to this!
    But looks like it was shut down by Twitch.

    They misinterpreted the whole thing, perhaps intentionally. AI is being used to flag/ban without considering context and I hope that this is reconsidered.

    "Twitch Global AI AutoMod does not understand context."

  23. Anyone tried this Spotify DJ mode? Not entirely sure who wants a faux 'cool' DJ playing stuff from your recent listening, especially when you can play your Liked songs on shuffle. Then it tries to get clever & play music from the same year as stuff you like, and gets it wrong...

  24. @emilymbender Excellent thread 👏

    I'm so tired of LLM:s being attributed "magical properties". The whole overoptimism is having real implications when companies start to rely on something that doesn't at all work like they think it does.

    📍:cate: Example I've been highlighting:
    Twitch, the live-streaming site is using AI to flag & ban chatters when it can't understand context or whats happening on screen.

    I fear this has backfired to instead mean presumed guilt until proven innocent. Makes me think of Minority Report. The road to hell is paved with good intentions and all that I guess.

    Discussion regarding Twitch moderation AI spread to Reddit where I clarified some questions that arose:

    Since this global AI AutoMod remains an undocumented "feature" of Twitch chat from a while back a lot of the conclusions I've listed in the thread are based on deduction from watching active chatters get suspended and tell their stories on Discord and social media.

    Most can luckily get their account reinstated after appealing but it relies on having an actual human look at the timestamp of the VOD and take their time to figure out what actually happened as well as get the complete context of what was going on on stream when it occurred. I've seen many apologies from Twitch moderation sent in emails after appealing, but if you get unbanned, an apology or stay banned seems mostly random.

    Being banned like this will also make it much less likely that you want to participate and joke around in chat in the future, leading to a much worse chatting experience.

    I see some discussions are arguing that all AI flagged moderation events are actually reviewed by humans (but poorly) and this is a possibility. Because of the lack of transparency from Twitch regarding how this works it's very difficult to know for sure how these reviews are done. A manual report in combination with an AI flag is almost certainly a ban. One thing is sure though, and that is that too much power is given to AI to judge in these cases.

    Seeing as permanent suspensions from accounts who have had active paying subscriptions for YEARS on Twitch can be dished out in seconds, either those reviewing are doing a lousy job, or its mostly done by AI. Even worse, if those reviewing are underpaid workers who get paid by "number of cases solved per hour" there is little incentive for them to take their time to gather more context when reviewing.

    It's likely that if Twitch gets called out for doing this, they have little incentive to admit it as it may even be in violation of consumer regulations in some countries. Getting a response that they "Will oversee their internal protocol for reviewing" may be enough of a win which results in them actually turning this off. Since there is no transparency we can't really know for sure.

    A similar thing happened on YouTube at the start of 2023, where they went through all old videos speech-to-text transcripts and issues strikes retroactively. It got a lot of old channels to disappear, especially those with hours of VOD content where something could get picked up and flagged by AI. For the communities I'm engaged in, it meant relying less on YouTube for saving Twitch VODs. It was brought up by MoistCritical about a year ago since it also affected monetization of old videos.

Emotional recognition is based on really bad science and the most shallow understanding imaginable of the nature of emotions. It is a case study of why some things are not engineering problems. That a government agency is prepared to say this and threaten to fine orgs which (mis)use it is huge news.
