"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
This is really gonna be big in ~~the Metaverse~~ Horizon Worlds.
Has there been any good consumer Ai products yet? I keep seeing all these products in search of a problem.
A few developers I know are very impressed by Claude.
I, too, can copy and paste from StackOverflow.
Besides improving grammar in emails, no, not really
Do they have an AI program that filters out AI content yet? That might be good.
so... if we're going to have AI-generated content, consumed by bots... and then that's going to be summarized with engagement metrics... why don't we cut out the middleman and just generate the metrics?
Dead Internet theory
Why would I bother watching content nobody bothered making?
Because your AI companions will want to talk about it tomorrow.
Because you want to see those spicy AI ads in between the AI posts?
Alternativeto does articles now?
For the longest time
More brainrot.
Stop using populat social media.
Imagine someone staring, smiling dumbly at an endless stream of fake kitten videos.
Truly a life without meaning
Old people. Old people will. I've seen them do this in libraries and what they share on FB.
And children. They will too, at least until they’re old enough to see difference.
Hear me out, I wouldn't mind if Google did the same thing with YouTube. That way all the ai slop would be in one feed I can ignore and I can just go back to watching gunpla build videos on autoplay.
They already did something like that with YouTube Sharts; won’t bother me if they mix in some slop.
I almost reflexively downvoted this because the news pisses me off so much, before I stopped myself because it's unfair to shoot the messenger.
If you're someone who actually believes AI-generated content can be good, why is this even necessary‽ Surely the AI stuff will just naturally rise to the top on YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels. Is that not happening? I wonder why...
Gotta hand it to Meta though, that is actually a brilliant name for the product.
No, but there's simply an "infinite" amount of ML slop, therefore it's easier to keep viewers longer.
But that's my point. Put the AI slop on YouTube. If it's actually good enough to effect greater viewer retention, it'll work and the algorithm will feed more of it than human-created content. No need for a specific platform.
This feels like management said "we have AI, we need to build more AI-based products, what've ya got?"
But there are boatloads of slop already on YouTube, and the algorithm doesn't care if you like or dislike it. People will put a dislike and a mean comment but the algorithm sees that as engagement and the slop wins.
Is there genuinely a bunch of AI on YouTube? I watch a lot of content on there, and I don't think I've ever been recommended an AI generated video.
Obviously I've had my account for a while, so they've got a good idea of what I like to watch.
Pretty easy to spot them if you're looking for history related stuff that's not common, like African kingdoms during the early medieval period or even some Mesoamerican studies - it may start off with real images, but soon it's only AI slop and that's when you realize even the voice might be AI. I fell for 2 such videos thus far.
Yeah, in particular music and "fake trailers".
They invested billions into AI. It has to work or they lose a lot of money and the shareholders shan't be pleased.
Maybe it will be good in the future, who knows, but it sure is shit now so why try to shove it down our throats if it isn't to do some dark pattern crap with it.
The attempt at co-opting AAVE is so pathetic and yet so on brand for fuckerberg and his sycophants.
Zuck wants this because presumably his synth brain can't tell the difference.
I am excited for this platform. It is the best way to show the last person that people don't want ai slop. Make it flop and every investor has to consider thia failure in their delusions.
Zuck will do the same thing he's been doing on Facebook and Threads: fill the entire site with bots and count those as real accounts when talking to investors. Will artificially inflate the numbers.
mmw they'll just merge that functionally into instagram eventually
And nothing will change.
Great, ipad kids will now be able to watch ai generated slop on a dedicated environment...
It's going to be a dark future.
Great headline
