AI trains using AI generated articles on repeat. Have you seen what happens to a YouTube video when you download and reupload a video over and over again?
AI trains using the same information available to humans. It will keep up comparatively.
So you're saying it'll take us down with it.
Considering how much harder it has become to find good information sometimes, I believe this. Fuck slop farms.
Yeah but if AI content starts to outpace human made content it will start a feedback loop of AI slop. It’s basically informational entropy
don't trust anything written after 2021 that isn't straight from Wikipedia
Pfffft. Not far enough. You have to go back to 2015 to even find articles that aren't shitty lists or repeating the 'target' word 15 times for SEO. AI has only sped up the ability to generate shit.
Yep, if your search engine of choice supports it, using 'before:2022' yields drastically better search results.
it's funny how my teachers used to say don't trust everything you read on Wikipedia because anyone could edit it but now it's among the most trustworthy websites around
Some search queues return me pages of word-to-word copypastes of one 'original' AI gen article. On top of existing power-googling, you need not to include words that are particularly popular in slop. It brought a need to rewrite a queue a couple of times before it gets to the point.
They learnt on the worst examples of SEO, and then intertwined with it.
What are the words to exclude?
It depends, that's why I said it requires reruns with some slight modifications. When I was looking for a FOSS or at least Linux-friendly software for some live video visuals manipulation, VJ and everything with 'video' triggered a wave of slop, but 'projecting software' lead me to a rabit hole of actual list of choices, albeit most of them were paid, proprietary and Windows only.
It's counter to my previous expirience of including certain words to narrow the search: now I watch for what keywords bring most AI articles and drop\change them.
Fair enough. My email signature used to include a sentence that included words like "bloody" and "slaughter" since gmail didn't advertise alongside notifications of a tragedy. I doubt they're so conscientious these days, though.
cooked I tell ya
That's always kind of bothered me about the whole generative AI thingamabob. Why are we generating things and storing them, when the ability to generate more of it is right there?
I mean, I know in lots of cases the output is extremely flaky, so it's not as easy to just generate the same thing again, but yeah, it still feels kind of backwards...
Storing consumes less electricity. Don't give them any ideas.
just went through this looking up what a daruma doll is.
I read a couple sentences and then realized it was ai slop
And just imagine how much AI slop is being generated every day, and the output is increasing exponentially. It can be very long until the AI slop has completely drowned the human produced part of the internet. A lot of vested interests would be very happy with a situation where you can't trust facts and information.
Manual curation of trusted sources will become the norm again, like it was before the big search engines crawled everything; And search engines will become useless.
Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
