Another way to learn is to look up words you don’t know instead of a) guessing, and then b) reacting based on guesswork.

FUCK AI, and also FUCK PEOPLE AGAINST AI, Good thing I hate everyone!

That sounds more like self-loathing.

Yes. Proton hasn’t enshittified yet.

… however only paying Google Workspace customers will be able to access it for the time being.

So the way to escape it is to not pay Google. I’m not sure they thought through their business model yet.

Enough to block the instance now. (I’m so glad Lemmy provides that to users now!)

It’s sliced bread that has been browned by radiant heat, triggering the Maillard reaction, making the surface firmer, crispy, and altering its flavour profile with caramelized sugars.

Ah, yes. I remember when I was young enough to believe that being polite gets you attention instead of the brush-off.

These ridiculous mice with a dedicated AI button are showing up all over now. 😠 I mean … how can you fuck up something as simple as a mouse!?

Well, there’s a reason why I said “perhaps”. That’s as far as I’m willing to compromise. Anybody using a bullshitting digital parrot needs to have their laziness highlighted.

I’m not sure that it’s unfair to say “made with AI” when a photo is AI-altered.

Perhaps I’d have two labels: “Primarily Generated with AI” and “Edited with AI”.

The genie is not out of the bottle. It’s stuck in the neck as people realize how limited and useless the “AI” really is. The seeming ubiquity of it is a concerted marketing campaign pushed by people trying desperately to cash out before the bubble bursts.

It’s following the hype curve of cryptocurrency, then NFTs, only in fast-forward. For a while the “true believers” (just like with crypto and NFTs) will keep it going forward as they delude themselves into thinking that it will turn around “any time now” … but in reality AI is already collapsing.

See the problem is that while crypto and NFTs were wrapped in a whole metric fuckton of complicated jargon and terminology that laypeople couldn’t understand, the various “AI” projects had free, public-facing services that were easy enough for even technophobes like me to be able to use …

… and find out what utter shit they are.

They just have to hire sociopaths. Fortunately for them, the world of techbrodudes is mostly sociopaths!

This is true. the technology itself is mostly useless. The problem is the grifters behind it pushing it.

Say it ain’t so! Techbrodudes have a problem with consent!? THIS IS UNPOSSIBLE!!!

Spoken like someone who’s never been creative once in her fucking life.

Personally I’ll embrace the technology by putting tire puncturing strips all over the place.

I’m not sure I can give a larger part that 100% of it. I would recommend that you follow the advice of Northrop Frye and sit down and think before writing. The number of people who are misunderstanding or plain old not understanding what you are suggesting (if anything) should be a strong clue that you have communicated with stunning ineptness. To cite the linked document, these people (myself included) don’t know “whether [you] are pregnant or just have gas on the stomach”.

Learn structure. Learn expression. Learn, in short, to think, remembering, as per Frye, that “there is no such thing as an inarticulate idea waiting to have the right words wrapped around it” but rather that “ideas do not exist until they have been incorporated into words”.

Then, once you’ve actually solidified the thoughts in your own head so you understand yourself what they mean, try to communicate them again. You’ll find a lot less frustration that way.

I found it very confusing between …

I’ve definitely shared this […]

… and …

[…] “well, it’s not like anyone else was going to give them what they need”?

👏

I need to work out a quad-lingual joke sometime: English, German, French, and Mandarin.
