@samhenrigold I feel this too!! It’s offensive in a deeply personal way. Either talk to me, or don’t! I’d rather see misspellings and incomplete sentences than paragraphs of manicured trash

@samhenrigold I just feel allergic to it, like when I tap on a video reel and I hear the AI voiceover, I exit it immediately. Not even because I hate it, my brain just perceives it as garbage or spam.

@samhenrigold 🤝

@samhenrigold this is how I feel when listening to an actual human customer service rep read through an overly polite and boilerplate-y statement that just delays getting into the actual issue & what they might be able to do for me.

@samhenrigold If you didn't take the time to write it, I won't take the time to read it.

@samhenrigold Yeah, I wrote something very similar on my blog:

"They brag about how their AI can rewrite emails, to be more “personal”. You know what makes things more personal? The evidence of thought. Generative AI is completely contrary to this. The usage of it means that the person on the other end of the wire does not value you enough to commit time."

@samhenrigold When AI becomes standard and we collectively yearn for actual human interaction again.

@samhenrigold this, but i feel it even beyond ai… i’ve fundamentally changed how i respond to things in teams etc. to avoid the pre-written responses they offer. i can take the handful of seconds to form a thought, and it irks me that my software thinks i’m unwilling to do so.

@samhenrigold I'm reading cover letters for a recruitment and it is staggering how many were drafted by AI. One giveaway: suddenly the first line of 40% of cover letters ends with the phrase "as advertised." As in "I'm writing to apply for the ... job, as advertised." From there it's easy to recognize the precise kind of banal wording only "AI" can produce.

@samhenrigold I just thought about this minutes ago. 😂
To be honest, it looks like it's already a part of how the world works now, it's basically the norm.

@samhenrigold agreed.

@samhenrigold your AI avatar should be able to express this sentiment in less than one thousand words, surely...

@samhenrigold I Never get AI generated messages. OR, I pay no attention to Lunatics.

@samhenrigold I notice in here that almost everyone is really put off by AI/LLM generated stuff, and especially dont want it anywhere near their devices and content. For me this is understandable and I mostly agree with the sentiment.

So are we all then total outliers?? Why is this stuff steam rolling over everything when no one wants it?

#AI #LLM

@samhenrigold agreed. I do not look forward to reading filler/fluff. I guess we will turn around and summarize the crap using the thing. What an absolute waste of resources.

@samhenrigold yes. And don’t get me started on these generated images 😩

@samhenrigold
100% agree.

In Germany we trained this by reading US non-fiction books vs German non-fiction books. But with AI it is now even worse, because it is not repetitive for better flow and learning which is a benefit of US-non-fiction but with AI it is actually just a soulless void talking to you.
