jbz<p>｢ While polyester took a few decades to lose its appeal, GenAI is already feeling a bit cheesy. We're only a few years into the AI Revolution, and Facebook and X are filled to the brim with “AI slop.” Everyone around the world has near-equal access to these tools, and low-skilled South and Southeast Asian content farmers are the most active creators because their wages are low enough for the platforms' economic incentives to be attractive ｣</p><p><a href="https://culture.ghost.io/genai-is-our-polyester/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">culture.ghost.io/genai-is-our-</span><span class="invisible">polyester/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/genai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genai</span></a> <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/aislop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aislop</span></a></p>

Marjon<p>The problem here is that people get new ideas by thinking critically. They combine existing ideas and come up with new solutions to problems. We're a creative, problem-solving species.</p><p>It's exactly that skill that's getting lost when people start to depend on AI. LLM's and generative AI are never going to get new ideas. Because all data they've been trained on consisted of old ideas.</p><p>We need new ideas. 2/2</p><p><a href="https://a11y.info/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://a11y.info/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLM</span></a> <a href="https://a11y.info/tags/genAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genAI</span></a></p>
Marjon<p>Had a discussion about AI where I said I don't like that all content gets scraped and fed into a LLM.</p><p>Another person said that people 'steal' each other's ideas all the time, in fact, all of society consists of shared ideas.

David<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>nixCraft</span></a></span> For any language and platform in which the developer has fluency, <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/GenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenAI</span></a> can be an active hindrance. It takes far more time and cognitive effort to coax a chatbot in plain English (or another natural language) into producing adequate code than to simply write it oneself. (Sure, it can quickly regurgitate a weighted-average hot mess of all the code others have written in a similar context before, along with a random sampling of all the security and other defects ever implemented in that context, but that doesn't count as adequate.) </p><p>The only time I've seen it be useful was for generating a first draft in a language one's previously never used for a platform one's previously never programmed. And even then, the generated code required repeated correction: enough so that the bot saved only a few minutes net over reading the documentation, and then only because the documentation was crap. </p><p>Those few minutes' developer time cost an order of magnitude more in electricity, let alone the other costs (such as server maintenance). But then again, the point isn't really cost effectiveness. The real point of gen AI is to make more highly educated workers expendable. </p><p>The real point is to give the C-suite suits more power over everyone else.</p>

Sharon Machlis<p>This is an interesting multi-step approach for using a chatbot (not agent) to write code. While it feels like overkill for most of my little projects, it's still critical to think through the instructions and context you give an LLM - whatever steps you use!<br><a href="https://almosttimely.substack.com/p/almost-timely-news-my-biggest-generative" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">almosttimely.substack.com/p/al</span><span class="invisible">most-timely-news-my-biggest-generative</span></a><br><a href="https://masto.machlis.com/tags/GenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenAI</span></a></p>

J. R. DePriest :verified_trans: :donor: :Moopsy: :EA DATA.

She doesn't want there to be <em>fewer</em> writers.<br>What she wants, what I want, is for there to be more writers who <strong>actually want to write</strong>.</p><p>She points out how little value our society places on actual creativity and artistry which is <em>how</em> we get to the place where "content" created by genAI earns more notoriety and more revenue than works created by human beings.</p><p>We, as a culture, have turned engaging with art into consuming content. It wasn't entirely our fault. Our oligarch overlords rigged the system because it "maximized shareholder value" or whatever.</p><p>Again, the clippy editing is distracting in this video, but it is a good video.</p><p>Writing is about writing.<br>Writing requires writing.<br>An idea is just an idea. Almost every time I have "an idea" and then go write it, the story that comes out is different from my original idea. It's <em>better</em>.<br>Writing is an act of discovery.
