When identifying something that's clearly AI masquerading as authentic, don't explain how you know. Ridicule it, for sure. Make sure everyone can see how shit it is. But don't show your workings - leave it to the fuckfaces who push AI to figure out for themselves how to make it less shit.

If only OpenAI displayed similar concerns about the environmental impact of AI. I don't think they have the inclination or imagination for that, though.

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft.
Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

Across the US, workers are souring on AI. The tech industry has insisted that AI would make workers’ lives easier and more productive, that the more people understood and used AI, the more they would like it.
Something closer to the opposite has happened.

Why office workers are turning against AI

My wife often tells me that I don't speak the kids in a normal way, that I bring up things that are inappropriate.

Any chance everyone could stop using AI for their flyers, posters, menus, listings, information sheets, web design, invites, banners, etc?
It looks really really shit every single time, and also makes you look really really lazy and unprofessional at what you do.
