HEAD'S UP FELLOW #CREATIVES!
If you haven't heard, #Grammarly is changing...and one change that doesn't pass the smell test is the incorporation of the ocean-boiling plagiarism machine that is #AI. 😒

When they say "you must embrace AI" it's cause they have a financial stake in it. They spent billions and their new business models are reliant on it. They don't want to lose their money. I can't wait for this bubble to pop.

Eventually you have to accept that no matter how many different notebooks you buy, they won’t make you a better writer. For that, you need to spend a lot of money on the right pen.

People who coax chatbots into sensible answers are basically opening and closing the fridge until it contains something you wanna eat, yes, eventually you get hungrier & eat the stuff in there. But what changed was your cognition. The fridge stayed the same. You changed your mind about the contents.

There is no thinking going on here. The reason an LLM can answer a factual question is because someone has posted text on that specific question. The reason they are such good coding buddies is because people have posted immense numbers of code snippets (and that code is so strictly grammatical.)

Is a dragon plaguing your land? A fix from medieval Wales:
1. Dig a hole, fill it w/mead, & cover w/a sheet.
2. Wait for the dragon to tire itself out & turn into a pig.
3. Let the pig fall in the hole, get wrapped in the sheet & drink all the mead.
4. Capture the drunk pig in a chest & bury it.

UK politics live – latest updates
A senior ministerial aide said AI companies will never have to compensate creatives for using their content to train their systems, in a statement that has alarmed campaigners demanding Labour delivers a fairer deal for musicians, artists and writers from the tech industry.
