That was a lovely, hilarious and thrilling read. I really enjoyed that a lot, and looking through your comments in this thread, you really know how to turn a phrase. You've had me laughing quite a bit with your writing, so thank you!
For those curious, Ringsted and Thisted are Danish cities. "Ring", like in English, is the sound a phone makes when you make a call, and in Danish we say that we "ring" someone, when we call them. "This" is pronounced like the Danish word "tis", which means pee.
I was curious too, so did some searching. His name seems to be Calimar White (based on this Tiktok page), and the company is called OCDA (Occupational Cares Diversity Affairs). The website, which also has YouTube videos, is at https://ocdaofficial.com/
I didn't even consider that, but it makes sense. Thanks for sharing though! I'm always curious to see what other people are using.
I've been using eTilbudsavis, because it has all the store magazines in it as well. I thought it was only a danish app, but it seems like Finland has an identical version called eTarjouslehdet. So I wonder how many countries it's in.
I started out using Boost For Lemmy, but have been using Interstellar for the last 4 months, because it supports Lemmy, PieFed and Mbin accounts.
Also, a recent feature, which I really like - When I go into the comment section of a post, I'll see comments from across multiple communities, even ones I'm not a part of. Makes the fediverse feel more alive. It's not just from cross-posts either afaict, and it's not always perfect (Sometimes you'll get a few comments on a post that are not related to it at all). But even then it's still cool for discoverability of different communities!
Anyway, I thought I'd never leave Boost, but I'm Interstellar all the way for now and in the foreseeable future. Free and open-source, and apparently available for Android, Linux, and Windows devices, although I only use it on Android.
The ways they say they are going to use AI is exactly what they said was causing harm.
I disagree. The examples of traffic not going to websites and the stealing of content to train models are two things among several that they state in the very beginning of the video, as an introduction to how AI slop is invading many different sectors of the internet.
While this is sad and frustrating, what's even worse is that generative AI truly has the potential to break the internet irreversibly. By making it harder and harder to tell what is true.
The beginning part stands out to me as things that they think are too bad, but not really what they consider the worst thing about AI. To me, their main concern is the fact that AI hallucinates and comes up with stuff, so as you say, they won't use it for research and writing. But they will let their animators use AI programming tools to for example speed up writing expressions for use in After Effects.
However, their added in line at the end of them using AI as a "faster google alternative" is very open-ended and gives me pause. I'm very curious what exactly they mean by that, because at first listen, it could sound like a slippery slope into not fact-checking things. So I checked out their sources link that they always have in the video description, emphasis theirs:
One key driver in the development of “AI Slop” is a lack of oversight. Whether intentionally (to save money, or to mislead) or unintentionally, if generative AI is put on a task and the results are not checked for quality and factuality, low-quality content is the typical result. But the good news is that we can oversee it, and check/change/edit the results before we share them with the world. And then the output quality can be much improved, turning an AI-slop generator into an amazing tool for humans.
TL;DR - But this is still pretty long:
What I take away from what they say in their video is that they think misinformation is what will contribute to the end of the web and the end of their channel - People using AI to pump out misleading and untrue content at a pace and scale that no human content creator or educator can outpace or even keep up with. Essentially, I believe that the way that they see it is that the tools are already out there, and won't be going away, and so they are going to try and use it responsibly in order to help with mundane tasks. I don't know if I would consider it ethical, but I disagree that 'The ways they say they are going to use AI is exactly what they said was causing harm.'
That was a wild read. Except for the circumstances that led up to it, it was very gratifying how they lost it and who they lost it to.
