Prediction: before too long, boasting that your consumer tech product is “powered by AI” will make as much marketing sense as touting your food product as “powered by GMOs”
Obviously our little anti-AI bubble here isn’t predictive of broader society, but it’s nice to see “this seems AI generated” or “feels like ChatGPT” is already firmly established here as a pejorative.
@misc@mastodon.social for sure! Think thats super healthy for the network as well actually. Its going to (is?) become super easy to set bots that reply on all comments with okay-sounding meaningless drivel. So identity of who is posting the comment is going to become so much more valuable. And for that, I think only the fediverse, and to some extend facebook and insta are set up to deal well with that. And considering meta was so kind to royally screw their one advantage up and start charging for this, I think this already bodes pretty well for the fediverse
@laurenshof Yeah, I think I was getting at something similar here https://mastodon.social/@misc/109780119403164000 Our social immune system errs on the overactive, but that might be what’s needed.
@misc and broader, honestly. Like if a YouTube or Instagram video seems a little too perfect people will call it out (even if it's totally real and totally fine behavior)
@misc
It’s an apt comparison because there are versions of both those things that could be positively beneficial, and both have become utterly poisoned by extractive, investor-driven get-rich-quick schemes that have no sense of risk or harm or responsibility.
@inthehands @misc also seems apt in that no matter how unpopular it gets, it will still be in everything.
@misc
garbage foods, garbagebots..... it's probably our future.... and it sucks.
There is no "I" in AI.
Leave this "consumer culture" world behind. Go be outside. ;)
