Who TF thought it was even worth considering adding "#AI summaries" to #Wikipedia?

At least the idea is "paused" due to (CORRECT) backlash. Good. The next step must be to trash it entirely.
LLMs are !!!NOT!!! suitable to summarize written text; the error rate is just too high. LLMs really do more harm than good in this area.
PressGazette: Google ‘handling stolen goods’ with Youtube theft of paywalled news articles. “Youtube channels are using AI to steal words and photographs from paywalled news content and reproduce articles wholesale without the consent of publishers. The practice has been highlighted by freelance journalist Rob McGibbon after a first-person account of his estrangement from his late father […]
I made this for research and criticism, and I should have heeded the profound sense of shame and foreboding. Forgive me.

“As design ethicist Aral Balkan explains: ‘Dark patterns might boost short-term metrics, but they ultimately corrode trust and damage brand reputation. Ethical design creates sustainable relationships rather than one-time transactions.’”

I’m pretty fucking sure I never said this. Mostly because I can’t imagine myself using the words “metrics”, “brand reputation” and “transactions” without projectile vomiting.
(Also, I’m not a “design ethicist”, whatever the fuck that means.)
It‘s very simple: if you post AI slop, or adorn your posts with it, I‘ll block you. :) Doesn’t matter if it’s an image or alt text or whatever else.
I‘ve lost all tolerance for this bullshit.
Another one bites the dust #duckduckgo #browser #ai #slop #privacy #sustainability
Long live freaking AI. The latest attack on #Codeberg just now left me with issues in the tracker, created by some asshole's AI bot designed to bait #FOSS maintainers in spending time on a response to their overly critical, aggressive and accusing #LLM 'feedback'.
Here's some examples:
https://codeberg.org/fediverse/delightful-fediverse-clients/issues/86
https://codeberg.org/teaserbot-labs/delightful-humane-design/issues/35
https://codeberg.org/socialcoding/fedi-foundation/issues/47
https://codeberg.org/yarmo/delightful-club/issues/38
Good work @Codeberg for immediately deleting these accounts.
Not a terrible idea, but still vulnerable at the input stage. You could get attribution to a specific device that made the recording, but still with no proof of the validity of the content.
Also I fear that it's a specific, technical point solution for one specific use case.
What we will be dealing with is a torrent of #slop.
“The publication error comes just two months after the Chicago Sun-Times lost 20 percent of its staff through a buyout program. In March, the newspaper's nonprofit owner, Chicago Public Media, announced that 30 Sun-Times employees — including 23 from the newsroom — had accepted buyout offers amid financial pressures. According to the Sun-Times' own reporting, this was "the most drastic the oft-imperiled Sun-Times has faced in several years." Those leaving included columnists, editorial writers, and editors with decades of experience.”

I don't want an 'AI assisted life'.
I want trees, forests, wild plants and animals. I want to eat good food produced locally, with minimal environmental impact. I want a free society that works for everyone but especially those in need, not just a few billionaires. I want a life full of magic and wonder at the natural world. I want to live a good life alongside every living thing on the planet.
I do not want AI slop.
Meme criticism.
OK, so I saw a meme that followed the format of "take medieval art with facial expressions that exemplify Feels, then insert dialogue that evokes those Feels"
But the image was AI slop.
WTF?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA just think of what quality code you are getting from that AI coding expert

While this is hilarious, I'm not exactly sure how I can trust .NET going forward...
