You know what else costs a fraction of traditional polling and takes a fraction of the time?
Lying, making shit up. Which conveniently is basically what AI slop does, and having a person lie is even cheaper than licensing some random AI to do it.
Ah, but licensing the AI lets you blame the AI when it inevitably blows up
That is exactly it, the AI gives them an excuse to blame someone else even as they had every reason to know, and they did know, we all know they know but the courts pretend like they didn’t know because the Federalist Society.
That bullshit line of thinking only remotely works if you let AI make the decisions from the beginning. Somebody still made the decision to ask AI for bullshit stats. That’s the problem here, the human decisions, not necessarily the AI output.
Is there a community for cataloging tech bullshit like “silicon sampling”? If not I’ll make one. First thought
c/techbrobabbleEDIT: 'tis done !techbrobabble@piefed.blahaj.zone
I hope you’re ready to be the only poster until the community catches on, and then that you’re ready to play moderator. best of luck
Thanks! This was a spur of the moment decision, but I have thought about moderating a comm for a while. This seems like a good candidate to start with as I have a decades-long back catalogue of tech nonsense to draw from, I’ll probably sit down an write out a list sometime this week and plan some posts out. At one post a day I bet I could keep it going myself for a few months, before I take into account the eternal firehose of techbrobabble I drink from every day lol.
Ah, yes, lies.
Technically, these are damned lies because they’ve been summarized.
That’s fucking stupid.
You beat me to it. I was going to comment that this is literally the stupidest shit I have ever heard in my goddamn life.
I could go even cheaper by just thinking about it really hard and guessing
honestly it’d probably be better unless you’re actively hallucinating bullshit
Hey at least this is one poll result rather than zero
“opinions” formed from a mix of stolen books and movie scripts, terminally online shutins and fanfic writers, and politics comment sections cannot be considered a holistic look at humanity.
We’re absolutely going extinct. I’m out of hope at this point.
I figure ill be around to see a shitshow, and then I’m out. I’m not leaving any kids behind. Making a clean break this time.
this time
When you are right, you are right. This dumpster fire needs to burn itself out. It is so much worse than we think though, and we could stop it, by organizing.
I have an environment friendly alternative to this method. It involves tea leaves…
It costs less to make shit up that “mimics” the real information. Who would have thought
Misleading title, Axios did not do this, but rather the referenced a study that they later discovered did this.
It’s on them for not learning this sooner, but let’s not act like they’re the ones who sent it up to try and manipulate political reporting.
Still pretty bad though. “Hey, this study agrees with what we want to publish, let’s do this thing without fact checking!” Nobody gives a fuck anymore. We’re doomed.
Any scientific publications accidentally posting an article not based on the actual scientific method should be immediately punished by law or we are lost. It’s time they used the hordes of money they accumulated during the easy part to now prove themselves and perform their actual function in society.
Cool, so everything is just fucking made up now. Why even bother with the AI at that point? Just make up stats that say what you want right there on the spot. Its the same fucking different. Bullshit from humans or bullshit from AI, its all still bullshit.
What the actual fuck??
Holy fuck. It can simulate large samplings or it can just hallucinate some nonsensical BS that completely misinterprets the data it gathers in order to agree with the phrasing of the person who created the prompt.
Do the majority of people trust their doctors and nurses? Maybe. Or, maybe it depends on the context of the question.
Do I trust my doctors and nurses are a better source of information than random internet advice and AI generated slop? I would hope so.
Do I trust that the American healthcare system is set up to prioritize the health and well-being of the patient over maximizing profits and forcing healthcare workers to adhere to standardized time allotments of 10 to 15 minutes for every patient interaction regardless of the individual case? Absolutely not.
Yep. AI, such as it is, can be useful for some things. I had had a song kinda stuck in my head for years, couldn’t remember the lyrics, artist, or song name - only that it was in french and done stuff from the video. ChatGPT worked it out quickly. On the other hand, I was using it to look up definitions for a legal case I’m kinda involved in that hasn’t really happened before - I know I shouldn’t, but I’m not a lawyer! - and I found it was using my own case which has not been decided as evidence.
So yeah, they can be impressive but you can’t trust these programmes with anything important.
