   Still baffled by the sheer irresponsibility of unleashing the Convincing Lie Generator on the general public. I don’t think there’s a historic precedent save for only maybe the release of teflon into the environment.

     @Gargron I have to say that I'm more careful and read more sources than before LLMs where available. I consider this change in my personal behavior a good thing.

     For me personally this technology has been extremely useful and empowering.

     But I understand that the whole scope of your toot will of course affect me as well by proxy.

     @Gargron I’ve blogged pretty much the same thoughts back in February 2023, I re-read my post and find it still pretty much on point, I https://blog.mimozar.com/2023/02/06/ai-strategy-throwing-pasta-against-the-wall/

     @Gargron CFCs in fridges nearly ripped the upper atmosphere, and Tetraethyllead lead induced violence and stupidity in a generation.

     I hope that the whole world getting good at detecting nonsense will be beneficial.

     I looked up photos of an animal as an anatomical study/reference for drawing and there was so much AI trash in the results I couldn't always be sure what were real photos or not. I literally was not able to have any confidence that was I was studying was real or not when it came to specifics of the animals anatomy.

     Really depressing cycle of bullshit information getting recycled into nonsense. AI represents a future in which learning about reality will become increasingly difficult.

     @Gargron Yes, LLMs/AI should take its place of honor right next to oil and all its evil offspring (plastics, pesticides, etc.) in the Museum of Wrong Turns.

     Hey, that's not fair, teflon actually does what it's supposed to... Sure it might also cause cancer and destroy the environment, but you can't deny that it does make your pans non-stick!
