@KevinMarks According to K-12 teachers, when kids in school want to say someone is spouting nonsense, without calling them a liar, they say “That’s #AI.” The kids are alright. It’s the #UnitedStates #economy that is undergoing #enshittification with #AIslop.

@KevinMarks I think we can improve on that by creating systems for DIY news - correct only 20% of the time but that is a loss we are willing to bear for the incredible advantage of only reading what you actually want to read.

@KevinMarks The amount of capital spent on this is humongous, and the value is not correlating. This capital could be a lot more wisely be spent on solving the #ClimateCrisis or education, health aid or hunger in developing countries.

@KevinMarks So slightly better than a coin toss. Good job everybody, let’s burn a few more forests to celebrate.

@KevinMarks This does not surprise me one bit. The network only ”knows” within it’s training data. The rest is the reader’s gullibility not knowing better.

@KevinMarks@xoxo.zone If it's failing so bad at just processing text, imagine how inaccurate it must be at complex tasks. I can hear popping sounds.

@KevinMarks I am quite confident that a few years down the road, we are going to see some startling positive correlations between AI usage and early-onset dimentia. Use it or lose it is the anthem of neural pathways, and if you're not using them... well...

@KevinMarks 55% of the time, it works every time. All that cash and resource for something that's objectively worse than 'Sex Panther - By Odeon'. I mean you couldn't make it up really.

@KevinMarks I’m starting to think of AI as a guy boiling water on a stove, but convincing suckers (and there are plenty who call themselves investors and bankers) that they are in the early days of developing fusion.

@KevinMarks whilst I'm glad a proper study has been done, I'm not really sure if it matters. When such a high percentage of the public believe something, the truth becomes largely irrelevant. Saying AI isn't great seems like preaching to the converted now. I view AI like I view cults. I'm pretty sure that deep down, at home, with the curtains drawn and the lights off when cult followers would admit that some things they tow the line on are not correct. They also don't care as they'd rather be in than out. For whatever reason (I guess media and hope) a lot of people I know who support and use AI seem to gloss over all the negatives with "yes, well...", "is still new...", "it's improving..." and seem very happy with mediocre results it yields them. If it was any other thing I'm pretty sure they wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. It's easier to type an AI prompt than read a book that's mostly wrong. Maybe it's an effort thing.
