This makes me want to scream and pull out my hair.

Tell you what: "devoid" was definitely a word I knew and used in elementary school.

Am I normal? Nah, not really.
Am I human? I'm pretty damn sure I am, yeah.

[artemis@dice.camp]

Imagine coming up with a machine that effectively gets to decide how humans are "supposed to" write and speak.

Reduction to a mean pollutes the source for everyone. The idiocracification of humanity continues apace.

Seriously, I... I read the dictionary for _fun_ as a kid. I know that's not normal but I don't need robots bullying me for it.

Also, using a bot to determine if a bot wrote something is definitely a second layer of stupid.

"Well, the machine said it was written by a machine. Who else would know so well what a machine wrote than a machine? Hmm?"

The most reasonable response I can come up with to any of this is to burn it down. Just... Burn it down.

@artemis It’s worst in the form of AI but I also hate it in the form of increasingly opinionated “grammar and style” checkers built into every email and doc editing software now. If I couch a phrase in any but the most blunt terms I get little squiggles telling me that I’m communicating wrong.

Computers should not be telling humans how they’re allowed to use language. Humans should not be building programs which crush out variance and expressivity in language.

Yes, “Hunger Games for robots” is stupid AF: https://www.superversive.co/blog/hunger-games-for-robots

@paninid

Some variation of this is my prediction for the planet. No humans left, or at least not ones that can understand any of the machinery that continues to beep and boop, just machines chattering back and forth at each other without context.

Incoming messages from your hairstylists automated scheduling system that communicates with your automated response system that checks with your automated scheduling system if you're available for an appointment on February 31st (because dates are hard) that checks if your heart rate monitoring system has reported a heartbeat in the last three days.

Burn it all down. It'd be better for everyone.

@401matthall @paninid @artemis It would be better off for everyone *except* a small group of obscenely rich people.

(and weird misanthropic cultists.)

@mckra1g @artemis Damn, those are some fancy words. You must be at least 50% AI.

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@Natanox @mckra1g @artemis you can tell it's human because of the neologism. AI aren't able to create new words ATM.

[natanox@chaos.social]

@oblomov @mckra1g @artemis As a matter of fact LLMs can do that if you instruct them to do so, likewise it can interpret made up words rather well.
