Everywhere you go it’s all AI I hate it so much.
On Reddit it’s all bots reposting stuff from years ago and its all the same unfunny shit. Also it’s not like it’s a repost once and do it again years later I’ll sometimes see the same posts get reposted weekly.
These reposts are all on the top page page to wanna know why? Because AI is upvoting it and commenting on it. It’s all one massive AI circle jerk.
I’ll check the comments and it’s AI arguing with AI or worse people arguing with AI or it’s people using an AI to check if the post is a reposting fuck offfffffff.
On YouTube it’s either a full AI script with an AI voice or a real people reading off some bullshit script that I’m convinced was written by AI.
“Why [insert topic] was/is so popular” “Why [insert topic] failed/is failing”
You’ll go into the comments of these videos and it’s all fucking AI istg I’m about to crash out writing this rant it pisses me off so much.
Maybe it isn’t AI but it feels like it and I hate it! I’ve been marking these videos as “not interested” but YouTubes dumbass AI algorithm can’t take a hint because 20 more similar videos will start getting recommended it’s like cockroaches.
Even the YouTube ads are just AI gooner bait bullshit my little sister unwillingly sees that shit daily when all she wants to do is watch a drawing tutorial or a cartoon.
I don’t use TikTok or Instagram and the rest of the slop there is like Twitter but I just know those places are the garbage dump of the internet. More than half the accounts are just AI, basically my Reddit rant but amplified 10x I won’t go further into those websites.
If I Google or even DuckDuckGo something the first result is fucking an AI answer and sometimes it’ll link me to an article or video made by a fucking AI usually trying to sell me something instead of giving me what I’m looking for.
I run a website and even there in my fucking comments an AI is advertising.
I’ll open up Apple music and I don’t even know if the music it recommends me is made my an AI.
On amazon there are AI books being sold and they aren’t even trying to hide it and I mean real books not audio book but real you can hold it in your hand books who is the idiot buying that shit because someone obviously is since they keep making them???
Even video games aren’t safe the fucking Playstation store is full of AI slop games. Same question whose buying this shit?
Don’t get me started on students. I’m being hypocritical because if ChatGPT was around when I was in school I would’ve done the same but that doesn’t change the fact AI is making the modern student dumber. Most of them who use AI aren’t learning anything they just have AI spit out inaccurate information. Even if the student isn’t making the AI write there paper for them but actually tries using it as a tool to help them with their education it still spits out inaccurate information and how is the student even suppose to know if it’s accurate or not since they are currently learning about the topic. I feel bad for teachers having to rot their brains away reading AI slop.
It’s literally everywhere you can’t escape it and it’s not even useful, it’s harmful and it’s probably slowing down the internet for all of us.
AI is one of the biggest inefficiencies in human history I’m convinced I have no proof but it doesn’t take a genius to see that. People are in coal mines ruining themselves so some fucking porn bot can comment OF advertisement. AI isn’t only taking needed resources from the poorest people but from all of us. Except the people who can afford it.
I can’t wait for AI to fuck off and die so we can start progressing again. Seriously humans made one of the most impressive pieces of code ever written and it resulted in the pollution of the internet. The biggest source of information polluted with harmful useless garbage. Humans managed to pollute something that doesn’t even exist in the real world.
Ok let’s say the United States passes a law where AI content needs to be water marked.
That won’t stop an AI company from a different country hosting their servers in a different country.
A water mark might be easily removed for the most part also.
That also means human moderators need to step in and check if let’s say a song is AI.
You can make the audio file of the song state “This is AI music” or something but anyone can edit that out.
In theory in could work but in practice it could make things worse.
AI generates water marked image > Different AI removes it is a basic example.
That’ll use more energy than just having the first AI generate non water marked image.
The US could work with other countries to implement an international standard.
It won’t. But it could!
Not every country will agree and some might be interested in having companies like OpenAI moving to their country and investing in the country.
The majority of countries agreeing is good enough, especially the wealthy countries with the infrastructure for this technology. These AI firms are almost entirely dependent on investor cash anyway, a broad international agreement can cut off investment to them and they’d starve.
We could at least try? Instead of giving up before trying anything at all?
I’m not saying we should give up I was giving a more realistic answer.
It sure sounds like your “realistic answer” is “it’s impossible” and that definitely implies “we should give up”.
I’m reading back what I’ve said and I’m having a hard time seeing where I even imply it’s impossible or that we should give up all I said is not every country will agree?
“Not every country will agree” pretty strongly implies “and therefore it won’t work.”
What else did you mean? “Not every country will agree, but most will agree so it will work.”?
I feel like this conversation can go on forever so this is my last comment towards it and I’m going to be super clear.
I don’t know why you are quoting here I didn’t say that.
I’m not giving up a fight against AI has barely even started there is nothing to give up.
I’m using OpenAI as an example here but this applies to most AI companies.
What I meant was if every country won’t agree, then AI companies will just move to those countries that haven’t agreed and some of those countries might welcome these companies. Because if a company like OpenAI agrees to fund building projects like power plants it’ll benefit OpenAI and their project and also benefit the country because free power plants.
It’s a basic explanation and there is more that goes on of course.
At first investors might be scared, but if OpenAI can bounce back so will their stock price short term losses for long term gains.
Now let’s say they bounced back these countries where OpenAI has helped out and built infrastructure won’t want to regulate what they do to much because they won’t want to lose all the benefits OpenAI has brought.
On a side note I also don’t understand why you seem so upset on me “giving up” when you yourself have said.
Yeah, My reasoning is more, like 80% of the AI companies and services are from the USA. If they passed a law, that’d have you covered for the biggest chunk of it. Plus Europe has similar ideas and the Chinese have already done it. Sure, theoretically we could have companies someplace else, but that’s few and far between. You’d catch most of it and that’s a good start.
And my other thought process is: People use AI specifically to do things in a low-effort way. Because they don’t want to put in a lot of work. They’re unlikely to be willing to jump through several hoops. That’s why they used AI in the first place. We can catch the majority of them just by adding a small hurdle. And that’s again a large chunk of the AI use cases we can catch. And it all adds up.
But yes, there are a few people with different motives. They’ll use AI but not because it’s a low effort way to do something, but they have enough energy to buy a graphics card for $1,000, go through the tedious process of removing watermarking (which isn’t easy if done right)… And I don’t have a good solution for those.
Guess where they are working on passing a law to ban regulation of AI for a decade? Sure, the current version was just defeated, but the odds of flipping completely and actually regulating AI are absolutely nil.
Yeah. I wouldn’t be here, complaining, if there was. Honestly I don’t have a lot of confidence in US politics right now. They’re bothered with different things right now. And the USA aren’t even known to regulate big companies. So… My prediction isn’t great. Maybe the rest of the world can do at least something. But that’s going to be difficult. But we need to continue with this (in my opinion). Even if it’s hard and odds are against us. I still we have some obligation to push for a good future.
There is 2 type of AI content generating users at least from what I understand.
Normal people who makes stupid memes, emojis and whatever else. They don’t care if their AI generated emoji has a watermark since these pictures are used in 1 on 1 chat or group chats with few people.
People who profit off this and are the cause of most of the slop seen on front pages. These people use AI to either data harvest for profit or make content for profit and as long as it makes them money they’ll jump though as many hoops as they need to.
The people who create AI generated content for profit are the biggest problem they have AI working 24/7 spitting out crap for their AI generated TikTok page and usually generate more than an average user might over the course of months.
There is of course more than just that example.
Books Music Ads Comments Games Code
These are the examples I can think of the top of my head.
Hmmh. I mean that’s more a question for the scientists to come up with effective technology. I heard we have some robust watermarking solutions. And with some content types it’s hard to remove and it’ll leave telltale signs if you try to remove it or slap something over it. I’m not an expert though. Nothing is 100%. And I’ve read some questions by people who tried to upload AI voice audiobooks to Spotify. And seems they have some half-way effective system in place. You need some verification from Elevenlabs so no one can steal David Attenborough’s or Scarled Johansson’s voice. And seems that actually works and is almost impossible to circumvent. Even for the people with sufficient criminal energy.
Ultimately I think it’s two seperate things, coming up with the law, and coming up with effective tech to do it. But things like the Scarlett Johansson voice tells me it’s possible to almost entirely eradicate things from the big platforms, if we force them to do it.
And we have some other examples like the face-swaps and Emma Watson or other famous people nudes, which really have toned down due to cracking down on it. They’re still there, but we’ve reduced it substancially.
I don’t think there is a way to achieve 100%. Almost everything can be circumvented somehow if you have enough resources to do it. And we can’t turn back time, so the AI models from today are out there, It’s just not a realistic possibility to reverse their existence. I mean sure we can wish for it. But I think in practice, we need to find ways to deal with what it is… It’s a valid thing to discuss. But if you’re like me and advocate for law to address it… That’s almost always going to be limited to being reactive, to react to the current situation, and ignore things that aren’t realistic.
