I’m so fucking tired of AI slop
yesterday I even got google AI search summaries quoting Meta AI summaries of people’s public facebook comments
like guys I just want to know the fucking difference between these two driveway sealer products, I don’t need a 1000 word AI generated food blog post on the incorrect reasons why sealing is important
dude can’t even design a website that scrolls properly and he’s responsible for billion dollar company logos‽
they joined the military. they knew enough about what they were getting into.
if they joined because it was that or starve, well, they’re not starving, so there’s no problem
world news? lol
yeah that’s not enough of a “fuck you” for my liking
agreed
the issue I have with how people use it is that it’s easy to just create more shit that they spew out into the world
I’ve got no issue with people using tools to improve their work. I think it’s fair to say that AI is enough like predictive text and spell check when it comes to tools you can use at work. and like any tool, the user is still responsible for the end result
my main problem with AI is that it is absolutely fucking our world (environmentally and economically) to create pure garbage that is thrown in my face every day. like, scale it back a bit everyone…
how would somebody even go about making lives of the people responsible for this bullshit worse?
like how does the average person say “fuck you” to the assholes coming up with this shit?
no, but it’s morally acceptable to pirate things released by hostile corporations
does anyone know why Sony is so intent on ensuring that I never become a console gamer and give them money?
like how does this benefit them?
I’m sure that the timing on this is not at all intentional, it’s just coincidence that it happens before an election and not after
and only if I actually need whatever it is
otherwise I’ll just do without
it’s common enough among everyone I know. probably at least 15% that actively avoid US products and another 15% that passively avoid them.
edit: I do know a good number of people who just shake their head at the US and haven’t made their actual behaviours known. but I also know a few people who have cut out american products as much as possible, including altering their diets and what services they use. it’s not just “oh I’ll buy the Canadian version” — it’s “oh, it’s american, nevermind I’ll just find/do something else”
me
but I choose not to pay for it anymore because the product is less convenient than alternative methods
why not? they’re beholden to the shareholders. what do the shareholders care about safety?
what what term do people use for tweets on shitter now? just “posts”?
what the fuck? I had no idea about this. I never opted into this.
maybe that would finally push people to consolidate the center & left votes?
Doug Ford
as shitty as the guy is, at least he’s standing up to Trump
I just hope Ontarians don’t forget how he has and continues to fuck them over
one of the programs that we use everyday at work recently added an AI coding tool. I was going to announce it to the team when I noticed with the usual disclaimers about ensuring you know what the macros are doing, but then just deleted my message.
we’re not a team of programmers, and there’s only one or two people on my team that I would trust to write code that could potentially cause us days of rework and tons of thousands of dollars lost to the company.
those other people don’t need an AI coding tool, because they can’t code in the first place, and those aren’t the people that I want modifying thousands of files at once when I know that they barely review the work they’re doing manually already and I have tools in place to semi-automate that review for them.
to build roads and maintain the world’s strongest defensive military, of course. y’know, the things people need?
people don’t need safe drinking water, duh
