it bothers me the way people will say “must be AI generated” to mean “dishonest, scammy” in a way that humans have been doing as long as media has existed. The AI bros didn’t invent “lying” and there will still be people lying to you once we get the AI mess sorted
to be 100% clear: I'm talking about stuff that there is absolutely no reason to think is literally AI generated, which is the exact same as the scams we had 5, 10, 15, 20 years ago, but it's getting called "AI generated". I think it is bad to dismiss everything which is maliciously dishonest as being meaningless blorble from a machine. If you take the idea "an AI made it, so it's not real" and invert it to "it's a lie, so an AI made it", the final result is "a human made it, so it's good, honest and true!" which is... 🥁 not true!
@0xabad1dea I think this is major problem with the discourse around AI in general, in both directions. Choose your fallacy:
"LLMs are ethically bad therefore everything made with them must be artistically bad"
"This art is good therefore it can't have been made by an LLM"
"This LLM-made art is good, therefore LLMs can't be ethically bad after all"
etc.
@nicklockwood @0xabad1dea I’m really annoyed in general that anything involving some code is now AI. I heard a cronjob referred to as “our AI system” yesterday. That’s got as much AI as my alarm clock.
