Welp. We just caught our first “AI Music Artist” at work today. Someone pushing a completely non-existing creation as a whole person/artist with a whole album, attempting to get it signed. Had it not been for me doing a deep dive into the background of this person… the label would have fallen for it.
It’s been getting scary for a while… but now, as an established music exec and musician…. I am fkin TERRIFIED.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell #AI is #clankers 🤖 all the way down.
"It shows how online this administration is and how how shaped they are by this, you know, this the performative nature of online communication. It's all about memes and, you know, loud language and vulgarities and how do you shock people and how do you stun people and how do you scare people with with language?:

As people in the US and Middle East have been mourning their dead,
"The White House had begun posting snuff videos. Footage of actual US missile strikes hitting their targets in Iran are spliced together with scenes from Braveheart and Gladiator and Call of Duty and Mortal Kombat. Explosions that have killed innocent civilians are timed to the crack of a baseball bat or an NFL tackle."

"To the contrary, America's most powerful institutions and corporations are all but insisting we participate in it.
What a stupid world we are creating."
Wondering whether AI-generated slop is good for our brains? And hearts and souls? Wonder no more. Jamison Foser says,
"The truth is inaccessible [with our increasing reliance on AI slop]. Everything becomes vibes.
And it is getting worse, because we have created and deployed the most powerful lie machine ever imagined, with virtually no actual guardrails and precious little social stigma applied to its use."

As a general media literacy tip: If the claim is that someone used "AI" or "ChatGPT" to do something, the real story is probably something else.
Some (I for one) think that calling an #LLM " #ArtificialIntelligence" is a misnomer. More marketing hype than anything "intelligent".
As you said above... using #AI pattern matching software for molecular engineering is one thing. Using an LLM to produce #AIslop #microslop #clickbait is another.
If instance admins allow AI Agents on their platform and they keep harassing us I have no other choice then to silence that instance
Again, I do not pay these massive costs each month to host robots
Let's keep the #Fediverse human shall we? 
systemd goes AI agent slopware https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/c1d4d5fd9ae56dc07377ef63417f461a0f4a4346/AGENTS.md
has slop documentation now too
Dear Fedi friends,
I'd like to put together a list of people who are publicly resisting / calling out LLMs and AI slop.
Why? I enjoy reading my Fediverse feed in topical lists and I need something to counteract the unrelenting AI hype I see in the media.
Do you have any recommendations?
So far, at the top of my list I have:
@timnitGebru @emilymbender and @alexhanna of @DAIR
plus @cwebber @jaredwhite and @tante
Anyone else to recommend who advocates for #NoAI?
@_elena especially for the environment but also other aspects connected to that: @gerrymcgovern who also wrote this book: https://gerrymcgovern.com/books/99th-day/
