Searching “how fucking long does it take to get a fucking passport” on Google

Search results without AI overview

Someone on the GMTK Discord shared a great hack: Google doesn’t show AI summaries if your query contains swear words.

Edited Screenshot of dril tweet where the text says: who the fuck is scraeming "TRY AI MODE" at my house. show yourself, coward. i will never TRY AI MODE (The original text was: who the fuck is scraeming "LOG OFF" at my house. show yourself, coward. i will never log off)

Trying to use any application nowadays.

they should invent an industry that isn't actively collapsing

Spotify Publishes AI-Generated Songs From Dead Artists Without Permission "They could fix this problem. One of their talented software engineers could stop this fraudulent practice in its tracks, if they had the will to do so."

So AI-generated music is not only all over Spotify, spammers have figured out how to get AI songs onto the profiles of real artists, many of whom are dead. Reason #23723487849 to quit spotify and also a reminder we live in hell

finally!!

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be. The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with. The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization. In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

There has to be a better way than this. There has to be a better games industry than this happening to so many people, over and over and over. This isn't good enough.
