“The New York Times found hundreds of A.I.-generated doctors, healers and wellness influencers on social media touting the health benefits of supplements to American consumers. Many of these hyperrealistic looking ads promise medical miracles, and appear to be targeting older women, while making misleading health claims for a profit.” https://www.nytimes.com/video/technology/100000011001849/ai-influencers-health-supplements-fake-ads.html?unlocked_article_code=1.zVA.QFaK.sFCJD9kDs5a9&smid=nytcore-ios-share #AI #SnakeOil #Predators #Influencers

OK boomer Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive
@Heterokromia@aus.social I’m a boomer. I’m not tired of #LLMs. What I am tired of is the pitches and platforming of #SnakeOil merchants and the #ChatBot tech those #Grifters like to call #AI. That, and the gullibility of executives and politicians championing #GenAISlop because they are drunk on the #KoolAid served up to make them believe that #TextRegurgitator machines will pay big dividends. That’s what I’m tired of seeing/hearing. How that particular slice of the AI tech revolution got to this is testament to the ingenuity of those sob #TechBros using smoke and mirrors and duping the #speculative #FinancialMarkets. Hunker down for a stupefying #GenAIBubble busrt folks, ‘cause it’s coming. #CoryDoctorow saw all this coming a long while ago and has been a clear voice in the brouhaha we are living through… @pluralistic@mamot.fr #Antifa #noMoreBillionaires #Trillionaires are anti-social aberrations best erradicated.

Wow – pure SnakeOil, those so-called anti-virus or anti-malware scanners! "we are unable to proceed with the whitelisting request unless the application is available on the Google Play Store"?!? WTF?!? 🤯 And yes, that's part of a real response a dev got. So they claim: your app is malware, as long as it is not at Google Play. I'd say we've heard it the other way around, too… #SnakeOil #AntiVirus #MalwareScanner #falsePositive #Google
