"Summary" is the most common use case you get from people who are so desperate to present themselves as the reasonable middle ground in the "AI" "debate" and it just makes them look like marks.
Amazon Prime ran terrible inaccurate AI recaps of past seasons

I can't find anyone who grabbed a copy and put it up, anyone know of one?

Non-industry compromised scientists keep saying these models don't become safe, no matter what, but people keep thinking just because the concept of guardrails is mentioned it must work. By definition, it doesn't. This is not something open to discussion, unless you're a paid shill.
"Powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4o model by default...tests repeatedly showed that the AI toy dropped its guardrails the longer a conversation went on, until hitting rock bottom on incredibly disturbing topics."

It's truly wild to me that this just keeps happening. Coca-Cola runs an AI ad and people overwhelmingly react with disgust. They do it again, and people are disgusted again. Now McDonald's makes an AI ad that's so bad that so many people are furious about it they pull it down.

It is _literally_ stolen intellectual labor.
Embedded AI observes what you write, erase, revise, edit and save as final to steal HOW you think through a sentence, a problem, a proposal or a decision.
Your intellectual labor is taken to teach it to "predict" text or "soften" or "sharpen" tone.

The point of LLMs aren't even that it will accurately enforce the desired ideological conformity. The stochastic errors and subsequent penalization are the point.

This is another example of where generative AI is not user triggered - which means it's fundamentally unboycottable.

The Future of Advertising Is AI Generated Ads That Are Directly Personalized to You
"Advertisers are increasingly just going to be able to give us a business objective and give us a credit card or bank account, and have the AI system basically figure out everything else."
