  • AI is only looks good if you’re an outsider to the profession. The moment you’re even an amateur, you’ll see all of its faults. It’s just a plagiarizing machine with a built-in contextual search function (any AI model that runs as an actual contextual search instead of a wannabe assistant with a flattering personality?), that can make some crappy looking and weirdly specific clip art, stock music with funny-sounding gimmicks, and buggy code you’d better plagiarize from public domain licensed code from Github.


  • sometimes not reliable source of information

    Let me fix that!

    usually not reliable source of information

    It’s just good enough for some shallow searches, especially with Google and internet search in general being poisoned with SEOed garbage floating to the top, which nowadays is SEOed and AI generated slop. I often have to go to sites that are old enough to be sure they’re not AI generated, or are vetted that they’re not made by some AI bro, as a side hustle towards their first million. One Linux article I no longer able to find made a Linux installation of mine borked, had to reinstall my Raspberry Pi, and the then new installer really didn’t want me to let set a different region and language at first, so I had to switch back to English after finishing the setup.





  • And will tell poor people that “hard work let former line workers like Elon Musk become CEOs”. (Context: when capitalism came to Hungary, western corporations actively disencouraged self-employment and small businesses, claiming that regular workers at them can be promoted for hard work, and the hardest worker can even become the CEO, also our tax system is set up to screw over self employers and small businesses more, while Chinese battery factories get no taxes.)



  • I have seen dog yelping way worse for various reasons, even if they just wanted attention (getting headpats). A lot of dogs just yelp if they’re caught of wrongdoing.

    The right won’t like you better if you spread their made up crap about supposedly “too far left” public figures. They want all public figures left of Mussolini gone from public life, not just the radical ones. All you’re doing is helping the right to control the narrative (wouldn’t surprise me if there were Discord servers and Facebook groups for this: allegedly the whole wizard game drama was made worse by such groups), and maybe even bury legitimate critique under bad faith arguments.
