#AI-Relevance
Everyone who’s like “AI isn’t going away” can suck my dick. we laughed NFTs out of cultural relevance and we’ll do it again

LOL the Washington Post replaced its archive search tool with an AI that tries to summarize the archive ahead of delivering any actual stories, and which only ranks its findings by "relevance," with no option to rank them by date

7/ Final point. In general, I don't like to "AI" every issue. But here it has some relevance. These are potentially very big data sets across many aspects of life, economic transactions, medical records, political activity, educational records. It's very much the kind of stuff you'd want to pour ...

What if more people shared their nudity and maybe all that ugly AI porn would lose its relevance…

Had a UKRI funded grant proposal rejected at the "AI triage stage". "This AI-based triage was used only to identify approximately 50% of the strongest proposals to take forward to full human review." 🧪 #academicsky

Made it in time for the white sando relevance no AI needed hahaha

I can honestly say I've never used ChatGPT, Claude or any other AI nonsense. I even ignore any AI generated response to a search engine request, usually because I'm not convinced of the relevance or accuracy.

People like to talk about Terminator but I think we are overlooking the relevance of The Lawnmower Man despite not being about AI

Yea sure the AI bubble popping will crater our country's economy because a load-bearing amount of money was put into supporting the last dying gasp of the Tech sector's relevance, but also consider; I'm a Millenial so what's another economic crash in the grand scheme? I've seen plenty by now
Media outlets seem to have soured on the AI hype machine.

It’s so much worse than the copypasta books that people were putting together because at least the copypasta books had some relevance? How on earth is AI going to know what foods diabetic people should eat?

Tired of AI hype posts? You might like my sober assessment of whether AI-generated summaries are suitable for studying and research. Spoiler alert, they are not.

The text is primarily aimed at students and researchers, but has much broader relevance. So share freely!: www.tue.nl/en/our-unive...
Are AI-generated summaries suitable for studying and research?
Despite didactic, ethical, and environmental concerns, the use of GenAI is on the rise in academia. For most applications, the jury is still out on whether and how they will benefit education and rese...

they will pivot to bad AI for a lot of this stuff as broadcast relevance dies, just to slurp up the laziest lowest common denominator audience possible

The pros of AI are that it can act as an additional "eye" on whatever people are doing, pointing out possibilities that humans can vet for relevance.

The cons of AI is that its usefulness is negatively correlated with cost savings, because you need to keep all your people and THEN pay for the AI.

Google in 2010: Here is a list of websites matching your search in order of relevance.

Google in 2025: Sponsored result. Sponsored result. Sponsored result. AI saying something comically untrue. Lists of tweets and articles from terrible people/sites. Websites by people gaming the algorithm…

which is, I think, one of the many reasons why students are now leaning on AI to do their assignments: the actual *purpose* of learning has never been conveyed to them and plays little role in how they experience school. all they see is a slew of arbitrary, pointless tasks detached from relevance -

This shit is embarrassing and tragic. If local election candidates want even a sliver of relevance they should denounce the use of ai with their full chest.

Glad Science collected this data (though the results are entirely unsurprising). GenAI cannot accurately summarize scientific papers, sacrificing accuracy for simplicity.

And shame on publishers who are pushing genAI summaries on readers. Great way to accelerate an epistemic apocalypse.

Just imagining the elder abuse as countless ai industry gargoyles lean over him with a thousand iPads, promising a cutting edge relevance refresh to a sundowning icon
June 2, 2026 at 6:53 PM
inventing slurs to call ai doesnt feel like a very good plan to me . especially when you're using ones based off prexisting words with some really nasty heft and current relevance
August 7, 2025 at 8:40 PM
This. The people profiting from the AI label spent more than a decade being on the fringe. The label isn't just to sell products, it's to cement their importance and relevance.
The idea of a "tech industry" has always relied on "computer" being a special kind of medium, akin to alchemy. And if tech demands to be king, AI hype has now elevated LLMs to a king of kings.

But the solipsism has hit a dead end. The only way forward is to recognize that computers are not special.
LLMs are just normal technology. But tech is just a normal medium.
The more we focus on a particular technology, the more we lose sight of what normal people actually care about.

OK, I'm done with this poorly-polished turd.

It's a bad complaint. The AI focused their attention on stuff that has questionable relevance, and they spent huge effort prebutting a few obvious areas but clearly left them unaware of massive shortcomings that are obvious to competent lawyers.

So I disagree pretty strongly there that this was of minimal practical relevance before AI! It is arguably the most important question most people will ask in their lives. Very large wars have been fought over it. Entire systems of government are built around the results of people thinking about it
