Wasn't sure if I should put this in here or the Blogs and Story thread.
I'll put it here first. I posted her vids before. The one about Tolkien and Lovecraft.
Also, ugh she's face revealing. I don't like when they do that because I already
painted a picture of what they look like in my head with her avatar.


What Would Tolkien Think of AI?

I'm having an issue with my old fridge and my last defrost only seemed to make it worse, so I went to search for help online. I intentionally resolved to not use AI and search for what I needed "the old fashioned way," but nevertheless the first article I clicked on from iFixit was clearly written by AI. The author is supposedly an editor at iFixit, but even "his" bio (structured as almost entirely bullet points) is clearly written by a LLM.

There were no disclosures that the author is a LLM. I could only tell because it has obvious tells of Chat-GPT's writing style. This could easily be obfuscated if the prompter asked for it to be rewritten in a different style, so it shows how extraordinarily little effort is being put into the quality of these articles. The information in the article itself is good, but why pretend it's written by a human? I guess you don't want to make it too obvious that your site is just a collection of Chat-GPT prompt results that anyone could generate themselves. I can't imagine sites like this surviving much longer.

if you want an article that isn't AI, you'd have to read a magazine. I read a comparison between Corel VideoStudio and Magix Movie Edit Pro once and the final verdict was decided by, oh would you believe it, AI.

Also it's getting more and more obvious to tell (in text) what isn't AI and what is. Mainly because my class had an assignment to make a video (I took this route) or a poster or an essay about someone that inspires them. And most people used AI to forge their essays. But they made it too obvious. mainly because they sounded too advanced to be written by 5th graders or because they were in fonts that nobody uses. Or they didn't try the best technique - "make it sound more human".

I read about that voice fraud earlier. Yet they won't stop.

Good thing I don't fly.

Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket

I'm sure that'll expand to all the other consumer market areas

Except most people do have to work for food so they are using AI to make their work easier/cheat, which makes them stupider. Of course the end result is it will replace them and they will starve.

Many people everywhere are feeling pressure from their higher ups to "use AI" in their work so the bosses can say their organization is leveraging the latest tech to be more efficient, even when using AI makes them much less efficient.

It's sort of like a Hallmark holiday where Hallmark invents Mother's Day and does a sales campaign to pressure you to buy a fancy card every year, so you do in order to not offend your mother, and Hallmark makes money. The AI companies have done such a hype sell job that all executives feel pressured to have their organizations use AI, regardless of whether it helps, so they can publicly claim to be using it, and the AI companies make money.

Composing is one thing and you can make use of AI if that is convenient. Saves time.

Making the music, the way you want, is a different thing. Especially if artists/bands want to play live. That is where they make most money from.
Playing real instruments, programming etc. to make your own style of music. That's up to creativity and that is so complex, it will take while (or never) before AI can figure that out.

This explanation is half true nowadays.

Yup and then ya have the bots. AI bots nowadays.

Rick Beato noted in that video that over 40% of the top Spotify channels now are AI generated music.
