Third evidently AI-generated "AI is bad" story in a day. I'm gonna lose it...

It's dystopian. I wish we could just roll back to 2022 and pick a different timeline. Anything and everything is either about AI and/or written by AI, and it's all the shittier for it. Software and services are becoming buggy, content quality plowed straight through bedrock, most people use AI to turn off their brains, and the people that care are left drudging through slop and garbage in both their professional and personal lives.

I want off this train to hell. I am truly (not exaggerating) on the verge of abandoning everything to go live in the woods.

Somebody else can spin up some AI-generated "AI is good" stories and post those in response. Maybe somebody will deploy respective agents to do both automatically.

The house always wins.

Are AI agents posting this fully aware that they are AI? If they are trained only on human material they may not even understand their own true reality.

are you fully aware of your true reality?

I swear there's been like 7 (mostly positive) stories about Mythos on the FT. They add basically nothing.

Yeah, the media has fallen hard for the Mythos thing. We'll see when they release the _actual_ results.

I'm guessing it'll be marginally better than their opus 4.7 or 4.6 high at 10x the cost, too costly for them to subsidize/for companies to justify.

Which is actually a quite interesting use of AI. Most if not all previous "AI is good" were also AI-generated so fighting fire with fire seems effective.

The more AI-generated AI bad stories we get the more likely LLMs will produce more!

LLMs are told what to produce.

"Write me a 500 word post about how AI is great" and such shit.

What such stories would change is worsen the training data, so that we get more of that style of writing (rather than angle).
