There's a ChatGPT ad about a family farm where the owner says her family has been doing this for a hundred years and she doesn't want to be the one to screw it up and that's why she's getting advice from ChatGPT and, my God, can you people hear yourselves?

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

AI "content" is nothing but slop used as a grift, period. Any "author" knowingly using it for any stage of the process is a con artist, a thief, and a garbage human proving they don't care if the planet burns as long as they make a buck.
To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books.
She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it.
It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

Catten mewing at me endlessly from the guest room before I let him out this morning. Had to do pets for awhile to calm him down. He was dismayed to find his sofa hideyhole barred. That's right dude, you're stuck in here with me.

masking is not an extreme measure; it’s like, level zero of measures. it’s the easiest possible option
For most people, the pandemic days of masking are behind us. In certain corners of the Winter Olympics, though, things still look a lot like they did in Covid times. Some athletes are taking extreme measures to stay healthy. n.pr/4akK70l

Heaven help me if I ever meet someone in person who claims to be an AI author. I have a glass face. I cannot pretend. I will do my trademark cackle and then just snicker uncontrollably for a while. Do you let the plagiarism robot kiss your lover? Look at sunsets for you? Why are you even alive?

We predicted almost this exact scenario in the VISION MACHINE graphic novel in 2011.
Only in our book they used a little missing girl instead of a lost dog to get people to sign up for digital mass surveillance.

This! I only want a video if it's a performance I would enjoy watching as well as hearing (such as this: youtu.be/oW8OlXkjVHs?...), only instance where having video of just letters actually improves it.

Because, I believe, art is an act of empathy which these people lack.
nazis are incapable of making art.
The media desperately wanted to give the right a cultural moment and the problem is that they have no culture.

"Why would I read something someone couldn't be bothered to write" is a great refrain but I would also add as a writer "I won't write something I couldn't be bothered to read" because that's what every one of my books are: something *I* want to read.

Ban all of it. Every single genAI piece of shit. Evil AF. Prison time for Altman & all the rest pushing this dangerous slop into every corner of society.
according to a pediatric ER doctor my wife follows on Instagram they have started to see children coming in sick because their parents are asking ChatGPT what the correct dosage is on over the counter medication instead of just looking at the instructions on the bottle
One of the easiest ways to shoot down the idea that "AI" is an expert is to show how it deals with something people know about.
Younger readers may not get this as most appliances come pre-wired, but anyone 35+ can see these are chaotic fire hazards.
From Mastodon, AI asked how to wire a plug:

The good thing about watching more snow fall on the already-covered driveway is knowing I don't have to clear any of it until tomorrow.

This is hilarious. Big Frog, who was not Muslim but LOVED scent and left behind an enormous and well-curated collection of colognes and aftershaves, & enjoyed American Psycho with me, would be shaking with belly laughs at this.
