Wondering why Ai keep remix..?
Tried of slop without understanding why it's slop?
If you want my own take on the matter the link is there.

The pandemonium overwhelms existing systems that rely on human trust relationships and diffuses accountability so that no one can be held responsible when the flock of #StochasticParrots turns your website or ecosystem into a lifeless heap of digital guano.
"Even if #OpenAI was run by decent, ethical, friendly, trustworthy people (which would then of course make them not work on the products OpenAI has, but it’s just a thought experiment) their products would need to be criticized for what they are and what they do." — @blog

We've had niches where AI had real cost benefit since the 1980s -- I've designed and led teams on some such systems myself -- but they're rare and they're point solutions, not cheaply generalisable.
Today's #StochasticParrots offer no cost benefit, except in domains where accuracy truly does […]
"One takeaway for me from this experiment is that people who have the ability to cogently research and authenticate documents still have a bit of an upper hand"

@quixoticgeek we certainly do, but once you are generating enough clean energy to power all farm equipment, all transport, and all mineral processing, then will be a good time to think about whether you have enough energy left over for #StochasticParrots and #AI slop production.
As to not […]

This was basically the thesis of #StochasticParrots: the problem isn’t the technology, it’s us, we’re the problem
This is precisely the right model to have for LLMs. They are optimizing for "is this a suitable reply to this entry text". And *the entire conversation* is fed back as the new entry text.
It is still remarkable that the result of that optimization can give something that it is occasionally […]
I enjoy movies, which are the collaborative work of a lot of humans using technology to create a composite work. The directors eye filters what we see, so much footage is dropped. They then push the actors toward their vision.
It's not wrong to call LLMs soul less algorithms, #StochasticParrots.
What amused me, though, was when I responded
> OK, I prefer ...(swap! audio-chunks conj (.-data event)), because a Clojurescript vector isn't mutable so we must assume that it is implemented as an atom, but otherwise, fair.
it shot back:
> You're absolutely right! That's a much better […]
It's hard to know who to be sorrier for. The 9,000 who are losing their jobs, or the rest who are going to have to take on not only the additional work of clearing up the mess the AI makes, but also the work of their dismissed colleagues.

Very clarifying article about stochastic parrots and the problem of fulfilling capital expectations at any cost.

Photo of an advertisement with the following word salad: Trigger Outbound at the Perfect Time With Intent Signals
I'm not surprised that the same people who think "Trigger Outbound at the Perfect Time With Intent Signals" is an English sentence think you can build employees out of "AI".
In fairness, the ad itself was probably generated using a stochastic parrot, which would […]

What if all the hype and hysteria around artificial intelligence is really just about resuscitating a moribund neoliberalism, which pretty much gave up the ghost in 2008? 🤔

#stochasticparrots was a theory that did not age well.
AI's biggest critics are back.

Caption of a news headline from The Guardian. Arizona - AI of dead Arizona road rage victim addresses killer in court.
Of all the effed up ways of adopting "AI" technologies, mimicking a dead person strike me as one of the creepiest use cases.
Are we ever going to stop deluding ourselves that we're interacting with intelligent, caring entities?

@emilymbender.bsky.social warned against using LLMs as band-aids in critical systems:
“Education, healthcare, legal, immigration… synthetic text looks like a quick solution. But it’s actually worse than nothing.”

"Moreover, while #GenAI can improve worker efficiency, it can inhibit critical engagement with work and can potentially lead to long-term overreliance on the tool and diminished skill for independent problem-solving. Higher confidence in GenAI’s ability to perform a task is related to less […]
