I don’t feel that way.

Almost ten years ago I read something an AI had written “by itself”. Apart from the initial paragraph, which was the human-supplied prompt, it read like something a student might have written to get the required number of words for their essay.

I don’t see AI making good content, ever. If that changes, I’ll re-evaluate my position.

In other words, shitty content is shitty no matter who created it.

One also needs to consider that all AI content has still ultimately been created by humans at some point, and that’s where things get murky.

Thanks, I didn’t even notice the disconnect for a former coloniser.

“Everybody wants to be a sleuth” or something, analog to “everyone’s a critic”.

I wish it was limited to visual artists; just a few minutes ago I read a lengthy & well-written comment right here in the fediverse, to which someone replied “they shouldn’t have used AI to write it”. Somehow completely ignoring the actual content.

This has been going on for a while. Partially because AI-generated imagery was really bad just a couple of years ago, so people feel competent, otoh it gets harder to detect, which is a challenge… not sure where I’m going with this, but I have a feeling that this is an aspect of human behavior that manifests in other regards, too, and has forever. And that I believe it will pass, although the downside might be that artists will start to create things that deliberately do not look “like they’re AI”.

Winston Peters, leader of the populist New Zealand First party

Oooh, we all know what that means…

Responding to a shouted question from Mr. Xu-Nan about whether he was vaccinated for Covid-19, Mr. Peters said: “I know you just came here five minutes ago. Go back to your own country …

Yep. NZ MAGA fashy.

the other way is literally just an image (of your signature)

I’ve done that a few times, in GIMP (or Photoshop), and was always a little surprised that it seemed to be enough. Maybe I unwittingly “forged” my own signature? That’s legally murky…

Digital signatures are much more than “just typing your name in a box”. The few times I digitally signed a doc I didn’t even have to do that, just click on a big green button.

It’s all connected to how you authenticated before you got to that point.

I think @[email protected] explained it well.

Yeah, this sort of shit’s been going on for years.

and thereby revealed the flaw in your own counterargument.

If the internet was “turned off” after 4 or so years not much would have changed, either.

That’s a questionable statement that may reflect on your main argument. After all, when was the Internet “switched on”? Sounds very binary to me.

OK but seriously, weren’t they already using AI for modding for quite a while?

Hmm. Not all reddit-like fediverse software is Lemmy. Currently I think it’s Piefed, kbin and Lemmy. Although I’m sure “reddit-like” is debatable and there’s more.

I’m confused. Pickpockets are now hackers?

Oh there you go bringing logic into it. When it’s really about the Constitution, duh

Weird I have never experienced this (or it was so long ago I don’t remember). We’ve been using Signal absolutely reliably for our family Chat for many years now, and also with other friends.

I don’t think Google Play Services are required, but

your power optimisation settings might prevent signal from running in the background

could have sth to do with it. And that’s accessible through Settings, an App Permissions thing IIRC (although I never needed to do that manually either).

PS: I sent you a dm on a different matter.

There’s actually a story around the band name: during the first gulf war, around '91, they changed it to just Massive because they did not want to appear like they’re endorsing it.

Telegram requires a phone number, last I checked

(which is ironically going the opposite route nowadays)

G O O D

They say they need to figure out how to counter/avoid spam/abuse first. And that makes a lot of sense to me. I mean, just look at Telegram (which is ironically going the opposite route nowadays).

Not my experience:

• Signal (Android) on my phone
• alternative client (SfOS) on the same phone
• Signal desktop on my Linux laptop

All work with the same number/registration, i.e. they’re in sync.
