It's so bad that iHeart has added "Guaranteed Human" to their podcast bumper.
Which I like. I work in IT and am constantly getting shocked reactions when I say I don't use AI and that it's actually problematic in a lot of ways... A lot of people are not aware. I hope more companies choose to brand themselves as "human," as long as it's true.
How many companies have claimed AI magic but it was just humans in a sweatshop all along?
Yeah, that is the exact opposite of what incentives should be pointing them towards.
Like, I really hope our whole culture is about to get fed up with automated algorithmic bullshit and hit a moment where the fact that something came from a messy and inconsistent "human" is something that's elevated and valued for being genuine and authentic as opposed to automated convenient bullshit.
Being "Human" and creating space for "human" moments is a goal you can chase in a lot of different contexts (media and art creation, community organizing and political discussions, more abstract philosophical principles, etc.), and it's a value that can transcend national borders and wealth disparities and get people thinking about our species as a whole, which is a mode of thinking I believe we're desperately going to need in the future as climate change gets worse for all of us.
The service that prevents AI slop will eventually be able to charge a premium.
Ideally they should be preventing slop of all kinds, but this would be a good start.
