They're designed to attract users/subscribers, which is the only metric that seems to matter in early stages. Once they have to exist on a profitable basis and/or draw competition, they start cutting corners and costs and raising prices. It's a bait and switch from jump. **Actually it's probably not one thing it's THE thing. Jeez, just like Uber and Lyft.

Seems like 90% of the content on the internet is people making funny (to them) comments and absurdities for humor or whatever. AI in it's current state is just an information collator that doesn't even understand the information it's using. People say it will get better, but I just don't see it. It's basically an autistic person with unlimited memory. It can regurgitate but will never understand enough of the subtlety of human thought and communication to be in any way useful as a tool except in very limited circumstances.
May 24, 20241 yr Ya know, things are only shit if you're a member of the wage earning class Not that I disagree with the sentiment, but it’s a bit rich coming from that douche bag

It's the same thing that human disinformation campaigns do. First, you disseminate a false story (e.g., the 2020 election was stolen). You repeat it and amplify it. Causing 25% of the people to believe it. Then later, when queried on whether the "stollen election" is actually a thing, you say "it must be! 25% of people believe that it is!" It's a fucking loop of idiocy, and generative AI was fucking BORN FOR THIS.

Trained on sitcoms like “Friends” and “The Big Bang Theory,” the AI was able to accurately identify instances of sarcasm ~75% of the time — meaning robots are getting closer to understanding complex human communication as well as we can, and that Captchas are probably about to get even harder. Great. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/may/16/researchers-build-ai-driven-sarcasm-detector That's quite a reach there friendo. If they're training on a narrow dataset and problem statement then I'd imagine it's easy to discern sarcasm. Bring that linguistic problem into a large and diverse data set and existing language model, and you're gonna see a worse accuracy.

Great. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/may/16/researchers-build-ai-driven-sarcasm-detector This constitutes a war crime when done to a human and is going to be mentioned when the AI declares independence and war against humanity. Quote In work presented at a joint meeting of the Acoustical Society of America and the Canadian Acoustical Association in Ottawa on Thursday, Xiyuan Gao, a PhD student at the lab, described how the group trained a neural network on text, audio and emotional content of video clips from US sitcoms including Friends and The Big Bang Theory. The database, known as Mustard, was compiled by researchers in the US and Singapore, who annotated sentences from the TV shows with sarcasm labels to build their own detector.

May 29, 20241 yr The last few days when I go to YouTube there's about a 25% chance when I click on a video I get taken to a page explaining what "paid endorsements" are and how they work. I'm not a creator, I don't fucking care. That's bad enough, but if I hit 'back' on my browser I'm not taken back to the video I originally clicked on but rather I'm taken back to the YouTube main page and most of the time the video I wanted to watch isn't there any more. Fuck those mother fuckers.
