My view of AI (7)

One of the few characters from Jurassic Park with any sense.

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

I don't understand how that's possible. I've never encountered an AI song on there that I know of. Normally I'll hear a song I like (on the radio, in a movie, out in public) and search it up later to add to my Spotify. I don't listen to their playlists. I also feel like people love to build their own playlists of relevant music when they host a party or something. Who are these people throwing on generic playlists full of AI music?

I suspect a lot of it is people streaming at work. That is why laid back stuff like all the "40s cool jazz" youtube channels exist. It's stuff you can put on low on your computer at work/in your headphones and it's not distracting from working. Similarly some people (not naming any names BJ) use youtube channel content to fall asleep to.

That first link reminds me of how GPS reliance negatively impacts spatial memory. It seems any cognitive skill you offload to technology will decline.

Makes sense.

I don't think the website managers care about text created by bots and AI music. Bots/AI do the same as humans would do, create stuff. People still come to their websites full of bots text and AI music, and creating revenue for the companies due ads. Only the last part is they care about. It's all about making money.

The Era of A.I. Propaganda Has Arrived, and America Must Act

What sets GoLaxy apart is its integration of generative A.I. with enormous troves of personal data. Its systems continually mine social media platforms to build dynamic psychological profiles. Its content is customized to a person’s values, beliefs, emotional tendencies and vulnerabilities. According to the documents, A.I. personas can then engage users in what appears to be a conversation — content that feels authentic, adapts in real-time and avoids detection. The result is a highly efficient propaganda engine that’s designed to be nearly indistinguishable from legitimate online interaction, delivered instantaneously at a scale never before achieved.

While the documents offered no specific examples of these conversations, they describe how the technology develops personalized content. By extracting user data and studying broader patterns, A.I. can build synthetic messaging designed to appeal to a wide spectrum of the public. It can adapt to a user’s tone, values, habits and interests, according to the documents. Then it can mimic real users by liking posts, leaving comments and pushing targeted content.

Strange, I thought the Writers' Strike settled that problem.

But unfortunately, my pessimistic predictions once again come true.

The loophole. That provision was only for them.
