Content warning: GenAI pushback
I have no compassion for people sharing their love of #genAI on here and not trying to understand the arguments they get in the inevitable push back (inevitable, because the #Fediverse seems to be the last bastion of defense against that invasive slop ❤️).
GenAI has literally stolen and pe…

Academia.edu opted you in for AI training on your papers, added shitty AI summaries, and generates podcasts based on your work.
Last time I logged in, they forced everyone to accept the new ToS and privacy policy, allowing Academia.edu "the generation and hosting of Output and the use of AI to generate adaptations and other derivative works of Member Content".

Today in #GenAI fail. What the hell is this?
This is not the 669 area code and nothing on this map of the San Francisco region of California is accurate.
The shape of California isn’t even right.

... Be prepared.. this was in an ad for a neuroscience workshop... Like a serious workshop...
I cannot understand how any neuroscientists could have made this and then looked at it and then thought it would be OK to use??

Mid- (ongoing) -pandemic "back to the office" mandates and "use AI" mandates are two sides of the same coin that illustrate just how much "technology" happens at the whims of the CEO class, and any description of generative AI as an "inevitable" or "here to stay" technology that doesn't account for that is propaganda.

I like Tchaikovsky's views on genAI, from the there's no "I" in it and the Chinese Room argument to what he says about the artistic process. Oh, and his advice to young writers / artists: "I mean... don't use it?"
I guess it's a very Mastodon friendly interview:

Wer bezahlt #Künstler, wenn KI-Modelle urheberrechtlich geschützte Inhalte reproduzieren?
Durch die bisherige Praxis, Werke der #Krativbranche kostenlos als #Trainingsdaten zu verwenden, steht viel auf dem Spiel – für Künstler, #Verlage und die gesamte Content-Industrie. #OpenAI landete in #Deutschland vor Gericht und es gibt ein erstes Urteil.

The Segway is here to stay, you know! Once someone invents something, the cat's out of the bag! Oh you don't use a Segway? Watch out, or this amazing new technology will leave you (slightly) behind! You'd better invest now you know! This technology is poised to revolutionize personal transportation! If you don't get in early, you'll never catch up and make the big bucks (unless you can manage a brisk jog or have a car or something). I don't know what they're teaching in PE these days, but they definitely need to start teaching how to ride a Segway! It's completely intuitive, you see! Should athletes be allowed to ride Segways around the track instead of running laps? Of course! After all, sports are already starting to shift to Segway leagues. These things *are* the future! They're totally safe,* even around cliffs!
*Remember to always wear your helmet when riding, and be prepared to land on your feet like a cat if user error results in an unexpected temporary levitation event. Segway, inc. is not liable for damages caused by failure to deploy superhuman reflexes at a moment's notice.
