The thread is actually wrong on the campaign cost, which might be attributable to the AI-powered summarisation the tweet author boasts about. Norway spent 30m kroner (NOK) on the campaign, which is about $3.75 million instead of the $30m the tweet claims. And the thread misses out the potential return on investment: Norwegian salmon imports to Japan went from 400 million NOK before the campaign, to 1.8 billion NOK in the second half of the 80's.
- deafpolygon 4y ago> which might be attributable to the AI-powered summarisation the tweet author boasts about Just one of the pitfalls of relying on AI and not double-checking the information. I worry for the future. How much might the past be rewritten in the future as a result?
- camtarn 4y agoThe funny thing was that the author apparently used multiple sources, and has different import figures from the article as a result. But they didn't spot the order-of-magnitude error in the campaign cost.
- YeGoblynQueenne 4y agoBah. Complaining that AI gets summaries wrong is like complaining that a singing dog is out of tune. /s

- rjzzleep 4y agoVery interesting share, thanks. When I transitioned to eating more fish, because I wanted to be "healthier" I started eating more salmon because that's the fish available in German supermarkets, but it's not a taste I ever particularly liked. What's more interesting to observe is that my daughter also doesn't really like it. When you have a 1 year old eating all sorts of fresh fish, but pushing away the salmon, you can't help but wonder, if there is something about food quality that small children taste that we cannot.
- permo-w 4y agokids are very empathic. more likely than not, you’ve given off signals that she’s picked up on. or it could just be genetic this idea that she’s somehow detecting an intrinsic wrongness to salmon sounds a lot like confirmation bias
- djur 4y agoKids are picky about food in all kinds of weird ways, and this doesn't even seem particularly surprising -- if it's a food you don't like, why would your kid like it? I think that's a simpler explanation than there being something wrong with the fish.
- ido 4y agoInteresting! Maybe she just inherited your taste in fish? I love salmon (also live in Germany) and my 4 year old likes it as well (but my 6 year old doesn't).
- matsemann 4y agoMostly a vegetarian diet here now, but what I miss the most is absolutely salmon. Red meat or white fish I don't crave, but that red salmon, mmmm. But no, it's not "interesting" how your kid doesn't like it. It doesn't mean anything about the health about the product. Does your kid like candy?
- thefounder 4y agoTreat yourself with a salmon! It's 2023!
- Mistletoe 4y agoSigh we need to just rename AI that does this Stupid Intelligence or something.
- robaato 4y agoAs per the article Bjorn Eirik Olsen was a key participant. His love of Japan was driven by his interest in Aikido, and he has become one of the relatively few westerners to reach 7th Dan. He's a very nice guy, and entertaining with stories from those days.
