Dream Weaver, What AI hell have you brought to this world today?

 



This mornings musical ditty + comic. 

So the Shopify CEO now wants it proved AI can't do a software task before he will employ a human to do it.  The kind of thing that is the same issue as AI generated pop music or art. Replacing people with AI to save a corporation money.  

Enshittification continues.😟  

This is going to be a huge problem, and I suspect government regulation, like health regulations, are required to ensure greedy corporations don't poison its customers and workers for short term profit.  But that probably will not happen outside the EU.

In the comic I put LCD.  Lowest Common Denominator, so an inbred Hill Billy with an extreme learning disability can completely "get it".  Rage and hate are also easy "to get" and are major parts of Social Media and right wing pundits. 

I didn't use any AI to make the music though, just 8 string guitar, synths and a microphone 😀.  The vocal does have a very wide chorus on it, which makes it sound AI. Based around a Gary Wright Dream Weaver like, but wrong,  bass pattern. 



And just that bit of vocal + bass:




AI has also made fake news more convincing.



But China is being funny, showing American Factory workers as part of MAGA. 

Benn Jordan made a terrifying video about X and how bot farms were being powered by ChatGPT. Has a section with hundreds of supposedly human account commenting in something, and them giving the same ChatGPT apology. 😲  What he found made him quit X .  There are just so many bad actors out there. 

I find it total garbage. A waste of time posting anything at all myself, and am still there only to follow some, like 浦沢直樹_Naoki Urasawa公式情報

I actually think AI has legitimate uses, and I am not dead against it. In the same way Photoshop Filters can add greatly to an artwork in the way they automate somethings painting or edited would take too long to do.  I am just dead against corporations using it to rip off people, in all the ways they can.
