ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing. Are you sure?
ReplyDeleteNo she is not, but sure comes across that way
ReplyDeleteI fondly remember the Internet in the later 90s and up into 2010. I eagerly went to great homebrew websites and some blogs (ioncludng Solder Smoke) prior to the burdens of monitizations and algorithms. Now we are addicted to scrolling, and there is a sameness, emptyness and nearly every title is click bait. It's about influencers and their followers and the content is often same old story rebranded. I nowo oyg the Intern2 ours per day. I also avoid big technology companies products as much as I am able. No Goggle, no GGGmail, No WWindowws or MMac
ReplyDeleteenshitification by billionAireTech. Ad money +greed + sticking it to the working class so they can richer. QRP and homebrew hanging on, but mostly by an older demographic who needs to spend more on groceries and medicince. Sad times
ReplyDeleteThere's irony in relying on clickbait--whether its content is AI or real--to condemn the rise of yet-one-more source of online humbug. There's no objective reason why anyone should accept claims from sensationalized sources such as this one. Its intent is go get views, "engagement," and revenue from the advertising YouTube sells to purveyors of commercial humbug.
ReplyDeleteThe AI fad may be little more than just a slight enhancement of the already-well-developed human capacity (and inclination) to be full of shit. To manipulate others with lies and distortions is the reason for well-more than half of what we see, hear, and read already. BTW, if the presenter in this video is an AI product, it's really done a good job in giving her a very-human-like sneer.
