Generative AI Copy is Amazing ly bad. Before I get into this post, I wanted to take a second to talk about my history with generative AI. I was an early adopter of AIDungeon, which means I was one of the first laypeople the get…

Generative AI Copy is Amazing-ly bad

this is from 2023 and is still bang up to date

this guy's on FIRE and I am here for it

I'll circulate this around with the non-bsky nerds and see who else we can scare up

I love you all too much...

oh shit, we're at damn near 1700 now lol

and remember that you've got over 1600 of us in the discord server, where bombastic tech bros go to get humiliated and bullied into hiding lmao

ok but do you do the dramatic Darth Vader cape thing when you turn corners?

can't wait to see the spate of Johnny Somali style ass beatings for creeps wearing these to film women in public

and the first asshole who walks into a courtroom or gov offices wearing an ad hoc stealth version getting body slammed for his trouble

thx 💯

I will give a little grace to the parents. Grief will do strange, and sometimes terrible, things to you. But no credible journalist would do this.

jim does not have to play along with this deeply unhealthy behavior and in fact has an ethical obligation not to

tools are useful lol

this is incredibly, disgustingly ghoulish. You & everyone else who thought this was good idea, ESPECIALLY whoever sold his parents on doing this, should be deeply ashamed of yourselves.

AI is not "intelligent". It doesn't think. It cannot really speak. This is just turning a corpse into a puppet.

AI? thats worse then the tech I was using 20 years ago to do the same thing (articulate mouths and basic expressions from a photographic base) all they did is some very basic shit and added a canned response or two. just interview a survivor ffs. that is just a machine.

cactuscloudsart Today I discovered a woman called "Angie the ICE Chaser" on TikTok and she literally just follows ICE vehicles in her car. They become increasingly erratic in their attempts to lose her (breaking sooo many laws on camera) and they never do. She is single handedly striking terror into ICE agents across LA. She also follows them through neighborhoods honking her horn and shouting "THEY ARE ICE!" out her window. There is a GFM for gas money and the legal fees she is fully expecting to come around.

I'm seeing the very best non-Zitron tech reporting coming out of 404

Wired is up for debate, I'll let regular readers chime in on that one

we recently moved as well, and the first thing I played in my new place was Folklore lol

congrats! enjoy exploring your new home and making it your own

god I love that song, in my head the music video is all 19th century clothes and sepia tones and storybook aesthetics

"lost fearless leader" hooked me right from the start

LMAO

Blind squirrel finds nut. Maybe reach out to the people who have been discussing this for well over a year instead?

not like any indie journos have been cranking out intensively researched, bluntly written assessments exactly like this for over a year, all while getting panned by SV simps with vested interests

nobody, not a single soul, has written a word about it before this idiot got handed the gig
