It will not be long before we see ads claiming no ai was used in their product

Once more and more people wake up and realize the huge sham it is, we are going to see a lot more (likely total bullshit) claims that no ai was used in their product.

Now if it was actually truthful, I will totally put my money behind companies that are anti-technofacist ai.

- LOL, spot on!
  Long ago, I stumbled upon something similar. A chemist ordered some “organic salt” from amazon, and analysed it at work. He was very disappointed to find that it had only inorganic components, so left a negative review where he explained his discoveries.
Excited to see a "No AI" aisle at Best Buy that looks like the "Organic" section of the grocery store
I saw an AI-GENERATED ad for AI-GENERATED MUSIC that claimed it was made by real humans who had their livelihoods ruined by AI.
Already doing that 😆
It's one of the rotating banner messages that cycle through feature notes.
There was another post where indy game devs will have that listed proudly as a "feature" (not the right word, but I think it gets the point across).
We need to set up an "AI FREE" certification that products and services can apply for and be stamped with.
idk about ads but I buy some stuff to 3d print and now they include if it did or not used AI
Iheart has recently changed their universal sting to assure audiences of exactly this. Not saying you should give them money, but it is something that's already starting to trend
So it's a total scam but companies are using it... why? Maybe because... it's actually useful?
- why?
  Because investors will cut you a blank check now that we're in the middle of an inflationary hype cycle
- I’ve used it at work to turn a 20 minute task into <5 minute task. Definitely a valuable tool when used properly.
  
  Ill be honest, we are asked to use it at work, and ive actually given it a chance, and its helped me maybe 2% of the time. The rest of the time it wasted my time and gave totally wrong answers (which, since I have experience, I was able to recognize as wrong. A less experienced person would be duped, thus the danger.)
  Not worth boiling our oceans while we give more money to billionaire scum. Also, embedded ads are coming soon so have fun with that.
- It's a very interesting solution, especially when it doesn't have a problem to accompany it, which is most of the time. Often companies are forcing it because others are using it and God forbid they miss out on the ~~fad~~ revolution!
  
  Solution looking for a problem.
  Billionaires really hope this is their ticket to become trillionaires. Thats all it is.
- Useful maybe. For what purposes though... getting labor costs down, pumping out stuff fast assuming it's correct because it's AI, being ahead of their competitors. Useful as in productive? Maybe for some cases when they know what AI can and can't do or its limitations. I get the impression from this year's news stories that a lot of them jumped on it because it was the new thing, following everyone else. A lot got burned, some backtracked where they could, some are quiet but aren't pursuing it as much as they advertised.
  OP is right, companies will go the direction they feel consumers will buy more from, and if that's a "No AI" slogan, that's what they'll put. There's no regulations on it, so just like before with ingredients or other labeling before rules were set, they'll lie to get you to buy it. Hell, from a software pov there's a big thing now on apps being sold as "FOSS" that are not, because there's no rules to govern it. Caveat emptor.
