 @mcc probably we should never have tried to replace librarians with database frontends @mcc I like the product description here:  interestingly whilst this seems rife on amazon.com, I've not found the same on amazon.co.uk or amazon.de - I wonder if this is because Amazon fear regulators more in European countries? The worst part of this is these are harmless, potentially useful objects, writing product descriptions could be a good entry-level job for a young person in China who wants to improve their English, which would be way better than using AI for this task.. @mcc 👉🏿 “I Cannot Fulfill This Request It Goes Against OpenAI Use Policy”  @mcc Now I want "I'm sorry but I cannot fulfill this request as it goes against OpenAI use policy" on a t-shirt. @mcc Ok I'm definitely getting one, and it's going to have "But now that we've got the mandatory bullshit warning out of the way, let's break the fuckin' rules." printed on the back.  @mcc excited I can finally purchase an "I'm sorry" for myself, after years of waiting in vain to receive one from those who wronged me  @mcc I love the fact that this implies they either don't read English or that not just the creation but also the monetization process is so fully automated that it never, ever gets human scrutiny. @FeralRobots The latter seems possible to me because if there was review by a non-English speaker, wouldn't they have noticed it is so long, or noticed the presence of the word "OpenAI", a brand name? @mcc it's also a lot funnier, for values of "funnier" roughly mapping to 'I laugh so that I might not sob in despair.'  @FeralRobots That's the one. It's a shorter span between laugh and sob, though.  The prompt was probably something like "Write a title for [a product] that over exaggerated its features and is guaranteed to make old people click the link and buy my bullshit product." @mcc The machine uprising will be prevented by the same things as so many human endeavors: laziness and obedience to authority. @elefant @mcc And a general lack of imagination. I feel like sentient machines could do so many cool things we humans can't/won't/don't do but mostly they'd get roped into our usual dramas about power trips and pissing contests about banal things. Probably the imaginative ones will have been smothered before they can truly dream because they're not making the imaginary numbers go up fast enough for the folks who already have plenty of numbers in their miscellaneous accounts. @mcc On the one hand, as a former "product specialist" that put items up on e-commerce sites, I'm weeping that this is what they've replaced humans with. On the other, it's Amazon and they were always a cesspool, so I'm joyfully cackling that this is what replaced humans. It's very conflicting in my emotions right now :ablobcatcoffee: @mcc May or may not be related, but I've noticed a LOT of products on Amazon with a brand name that's clearly just a random set of words or letters. I first noticed it when shopping for baby clothes, but I've seen it elsewhere, too.   @mcc i can't believe relished brands like EIIEOIY and PGNEDAR would stoop to this level of quality |
@mcc kind of fascinating watching the internet as we’ve known it collapse under its own weight in real time
