@Rob_T_Firefly@hackers.townA heartwarming reaction to a blatantly AI-slop ad for shoes in my local subway station.
We have ChatGPT but we don't have chicken eggs.
I have noticed an interesting pattern in my cognitive processes. Whenever I see a post with an AI-generated image, my sentiment towards whatever that post is presenting shifts to the negative.
I am sure I sometimes the AI-generated image is actually good and I don't even notice. But sometimes it's so obvious - distorted text, completely unrealistic depiction of some concept, and an "uncanny valley" vibe.
"The best way to think of the slop and spam that generative AI enables is as a brute force attack on the algorithms that control the internet and which govern how a large segment of the public interprets the nature of reality. It is not just that people making AI slop are spamming the internet, it’s that the intended “audience” of AI slop is social media and search algorithms, not human beings.
What this means, and what I have already seen on my own timelines, is that human-created content is getting almost entirely drowned out by AI-generated content because of the sheer amount of it. On top of the quantity of AI slop, because AI-generated content can be easily tailored to whatever is performing on a platform at any given moment, there is a near total collapse of the information ecosystem and thus of "reality" online. I no longer see almost anything real on my Instagram Reels anymore, and, as I have often reported, many users seem to have completely lost the ability to tell what is real and what is fake, or simply do not care anymore.
There is a dual problem with this: It not only floods the internet with shit, crowding out human-created content that real people spend time making, but the very nature of AI slop means it evolves faster than human-created content can, so any time an algorithm is tweaked, the AI spammers can find the weakness in that algorithm and exploit it."

The role of this "human in the loop" isn't to prevent errors. That human's is there to be *blamed* for errors
The human is there to be a "moral crumple zone"
The human is there to be an "accountability sink"

@Cal@kind.social@Bongolian @crimsonfall https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwp_WEdJaEk was interesting, and not entirely unexpected - someone who knows a fair bit about foraging bought two #AISlop foraging books and went on to explain just how poor they are. And that they might kill you.
@crimsonfall I believe that Amazon's #Kindle has a lot to blame for this — on both ends (garbage in, garbage out). If the author allows the book on Kindle, or some other e-book publisher, ti's far easier to get scooped up into the generative #AI slop machine. It's still possible to get books published as hard-copy only (either contractually or by self-publishing).

Thanks, ChatGPT, for imagining something I would never have any reason to imagine organically because why should I?

Hoopla, which provides U.S. public libraries with ebooks, says it will do more to prevent their distribution after @404mediaco showed they were common on the platform. An AI-generated book about Elon Musk and a cookbook about fatty liver by an author who does not appear to exist were highlighted in the original report by @emanuelmaiberg. Some librarians say that Hoopla’s “light on details” statement avoids accountability.

Super! @404mediaco got Hoopla to purge #AIslop books from their system. I don't want libraries to get scammed by these things either.
Great work 404Media!

If a newspaper gives you AI content, and you have access to AI, the newspaper disappears from the equation.
Really disappointing #JOSM is continuing to use #AISlop in the MOTD. #OpenStreetMap
Video story made with obvious #aiSlop yet still, oddly charming.

"Don't wake the humans" indeed.
Spoiler: humans are the Mary Sue character in galactic politics, but this isn't the usual "look how badass we are" tale.
I'm torn. The AI #slop images really aren't very good, esthetically, and this could be so much better with lurid 70s era sci-fi paperback art, but I still kind of liked it for what it is?
Someone made an attempt to create something, so good on them.
