The Thread for Reasonable, Informed, and Measured Commentary about A.I.

[patchgenie]

what I think of when I see AI nonsense


Jensen probably said time to step this SBC up.

AI is not even good for anything. potential to use a small clip of someone's voice and manipulate it to drain bank acct's or use short videos of someone and turn it into whatever you want. could be targeting political activists or candidates.

similar to blockchain, which no one talks about anymore.

definitely worth the read over a few days.

Dang that's a deep dive!

I hope everyone is living a morally upright life, even in private.

Welcome to the AI panopticon.

Per mediabiasfactcheck.com - "DNyuz is an Armenian website that plagiarizes content word for word from major news sources. They literally copy and paste entire articles and embed their advertising code for profit. As one can imagine, a source like this completely lacks transparency as there is zero information to be found about authors, owners, location, or mission.

Since November 2019, the Drudge Report has been linking to this website presumably to bypass paywalls on major news sources such as the New York Times. According to a Buzzfeed report, Dnyuz was founded and is run by “Hayk Karapetyan, a web developer living in Armenia.” They further report that Drudge has driven 8 million page views to DNyuz from November 2019 through May 2020."

At least some universities are tracking this stuff.

17.5% of last year's papers published in the field of computer science were found to have relied on generative AI.

Others found 1% of all scientific papers in 2023 were letting the robots write for them.

I will be driving that bus, but fear not, after putting you out of your misery I will drive the bus over a cliff.
