AI trains using AI generated articles on repeat. Have you seen what happens to a YouTube video when you download and reupload a video over and over again?
Brains are machines like AI, trained by other machines, generating content based on content we've been trained on. It's hubris to pretend we're anything else.
You're falling victim to comparing the most our brains to the current most advanced technology. People used to say the brain is like a clock, with their tiny individual gears all working together to produce a result. Then computer came along with all their wiring and gasp long term and short term memory, just like a brain! Now we're at neural nets, surely that is what a brain is, it's right in the name! But no, a neural net is inspired by our brains neurons, it is wrong to think our brains are anything like a neural net.
Besides, even if we go with our brains being just like an NN, a brain only fed brain rot, will only likely produce brain rot.
Pfffft. Not far enough. You have to go back to 2015 to even find articles that aren't shitty lists or repeating the 'target' word 15 times for SEO. AI has only sped up the ability to generate shit.
That's always kind of bothered me about the whole generative AI thingamabob. Why are we generating things and storing them, when the ability to generate more of it is right there?
I mean, I know in lots of cases the output is extremely flaky, so it's not as easy to just generate the same thing again, but yeah, it still feels kind of backwards...
Some search queues return me pages of word-to-word copypastes of one 'original' AI gen article. On top of existing power-googling, you need not to include words that are particularly popular in slop. It brought a need to rewrite a queue a couple of times before it gets to the point.
They learnt on the worst examples of SEO, and then intertwined with it.
It depends, that's why I said it requires reruns with some slight modifications. When I was looking for a FOSS or at least Linux-friendly software for some live video visuals manipulation, VJ and everything with 'video' triggered a wave of slop, but 'projecting software' lead me to a rabit hole of actual list of choices, albeit most of them were paid, proprietary and Windows only.
It's counter to my previous expirience of including certain words to narrow the search: now I watch for what keywords bring most AI articles and drop\change them.
Fair enough. My email signature used to include a sentence that included words like "bloody" and "slaughter" since gmail didn't advertise alongside notifications of a tragedy. I doubt they're so conscientious these days, though.
And just imagine how much AI slop is being generated every day, and the output is increasing exponentially. It can be very long until the AI slop has completely drowned the human produced part of the internet. A lot of vested interests would be very happy with a situation where you can't trust facts and information.
Manual curation of trusted sources will become the norm again, like it was before the big search engines crawled everything; And search engines will become useless.
Searched for it in my library network, requested it!
When searching I was also directed to a book called Casanova in London, looks like a collection of short bios of interesting characters, requested it too.
" In this volume, he (Quennell) has given us a short trot with a cultured mind, a literary smorgasbord calculated to whet the reader's appetite for a number of authors who are undeservedly slumbering on the library shelves."
Here, you can observe one of the most cunning camouflage adaptations among the bibliofauna, as this young copy of John Soane's accident-prone and amorous biography perfectly imitates the coat pattern of the predator on the prowl, confusing the beast into mistaking her prey for a perch.
The image is a three-panel meme featuring scenes from a television show. In the first panel, a young man with dark hair is sitting on a couch, wearing a dark shirt. The text overlay reads, "I made a new Industrial protocol." In the second panel, an older woman with blonde hair is sitting in a chair, wearing a patterned blouse. The text overlay reads, "Real or modbus?" In the third panel, the young man is again sitting on the couch, with the text overlay reading, "modbus." The background in all panels shows a room with wallpaper and framed pictures on the wall. The meme humorously contrasts the young man's claim of creating a new industrial protocol with the older woman's skeptical question about whether it is "Real" or "modbus," a well-known industrial communication protocol.

It's actually very clever satiric commentary about how Starbuck's is really a real estate company and that their big draw is not the quality of their products but their locations.
The most significant downside of the mastodon and so-called fediverse is that it has no users. It's just me from millions of accounts, and to prove that i'll now post this from all of them
That's only because you're dumb. What do you need heating for ? You could just wear a turtleneck and save on energy costs (according to the French government asking people to turn the heating down to 17° in winter)

this is a completely normal post. nothing is strange or unusual about it. when you interact with it, your client will act as usual. no part of it is atypical or notable and it obeys all standard requirements. there is no need to investigate further
@nazokiyoubinbou I was channelling The Really Big Button That Doesn't Do Anything - well, you can see what it is (this is a copy of a copy): krystalrose.com/rosewood/libra… - the button was simple; how it _changed_ people's lives however...
And IRC - back in the day we would prank the n00bs by answering n00b questions like "How do I message someone else?" with "CTRL+F4" which of course would close their client window.

This is one of those moments when I have to stop myself and ask bluntly if this is a lark or not, because my autistic ass can sometimes be completely oblivious to intended jokes.
@neurovagrant haha no, this was an actual response to a question. I ended up asking "why did you think I wanted an anime cat girl?"
