As someone who has been doing "AI" professionally for 10 years now and really believes in its potential, I've been quite bummed about how much people on Fedi hate it.
But I've just set foot outside academia for the first time and heard a keynote talk about AI in an industry meeting and it was so fucking dumb that I left early, angrily. The most insane brain rot bullshit I ever came across.
Now I understand why people outside academia hate it so much.

Announcing the latest title in Open Humanities Press's MEDIA : ART : WRITE : NOW series:

Masked Media: What It Means to Be Human in the Age of Artificial Creative Intelligence by Gary Hall.

Available open access - to be downloaded for free:

If we want a socially and environmentally just future, do we need a radical new theory of change – or to radically change theory? Unsettling received ideas of the author and the book, originality and copyright, real and artificial intelligence, Masked Media tests ‘non-modernist-liberal’ modes of creating and sharing knowledge enabled by media technologies, from writing through to GenAI. Thinking outside the black box that renders Euro-Western knowledge-making practices invisible – keeping the human ontologically separate from the nonhuman – it shows there’s no such thing as the human, the nonhuman already being in(the)human.

All this bad AI is wrecking a whole generation of gadgets

Holy Gods can people stop using modern #AI for transcriptions? Mainly because Generative. Machine. Learning. Is. Not. Designed. To. Transcribe. Speech, especially some bullshit hooked into GPT but moreover because it takes *longer* for editors like me to edit out the made up nonsense than it would have taken for me to edit out the word, "unintelligible."

But this is the crux of modern generative machine learning though. Because tech needs a quick buck, average people are using it for the completely wrong things and this makes us actually good at our jobs forced to put up with the incorrect usage. For example, cleaning up closed caption files or spoken word transcripts, removing half the made up crap when it would have taken me less time to just type what someone said the machine couldn't understand.

Moving forward, I'm charging people $2,000 or more if I detect any AI in their transcriptions they want me to edit. They'll stop hiring me but I honestly don't want them as clients if they're gonna have me edit made up CC files and audio transcripts.

Thinking idly about Manganese (DON’T JUDGE), I wondered if there were other elements whose names end with ‘-ese.’

Google Search AI preview claims that other elements in the Periodic table whose names end ‘-ese’ include…

Fermium, Einsteinium and Promethium.

"AI therefore currently, and under current conditions, only helps to carry on with business as usual[...], and sustainable #AI only works as change placebo resulting in placebo change; or to put it more concisely: “sustainable AI is the technical solution to the #climate crisis from a techno-solutionist vantage point simply reproducing the status quo."

Apple Intelligently Delays New Siri

The question is: For what?

As the LA Times lays off and buys out staff, it pushes forward on AI…an AI which recently defended the KKK.

This is not going to end well. I just stumbled upon a post on Reddit where someone made a travel plan in my area on Grok (so the LLM made the plan, really). And nothing is correct on the plan. Absolutely nothing is correct: ferry schedules? Wrong. Prices of museums, transportation and more? Wrong. Time frames? Wrong. Not a single thing is correct.

🤦♂️

There’s an irony that an #Instagram account that “makes cool AI art”, a thing that steals from other artists, is complaining about an AI video maker stealing from them “without consent”.
