I guess there are lots of ways to do it, making it less user friendly? ^a ^a , or ^a n or ^a p or ^a <space> , and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

1024x768 was super common place. 800x600 next in line. I would say that 640x480 was uncommon for Windows 95. I had been running 24-bit graphics with Windows 3.1. No way that 16 bit color only became popular with Windows98. Even SVGA 10

I've been going back and forth on this, and I think I agree with you about 95%. But for some cases, where I don't really have a choice about whether or not I'm going to hear from you, there are certain dullards that I'd

>The pathology of generative AI is that it too easily allows substantial form without discernible intent. You can just say it: the problem with AI is a people problem. AI is an amplifier. It allows deceptive people to be more deceptive

We need to encourage the norm that AI is for personal use, and not for spamming others. If anyone wants to know what an LLM will output, we all know where to go to get it. It is immoral to pawn off LLM writing as your own. Doubly so, for

We will find out shortly? YouTube is the one saying they are going to implement this: "If a creator doesn’t specify whether or not they used AI, but our systems detect significant photorealistic AI use, we will now automatically apply

Right now the problem is the flood of low-quality AI spam that might (or might not) be low hanging fruit. We can worry about high quality AI artifacts later if that becomes a problem. (and yes, there is no guarantee that YouTube won't

I can see not wanting to participate in the road to creating individualized heaven-banned digital silos for ourselves.

I also want to state that I think this is the perfect use-case for generative AI. You have a desire, and you use the AI to scratch your particular itch. Where it goes wrong is the people who want to make a quick buck by shoveling out heap

>(it's all AI cheating now) My daughter's English professor is now requiring people to hand write their essays during class. So at least there is that.

We'll I'd think that YouTube would have incentive to get it right. Either there are too many false positives and the content creators go away and YouTube collapses. Or there are too many false negatives and the viewers go away,

This isn't even at the level of the spam filter on your email account. Are there some false positives and negatives? Yes. Are there some people sending emails who are negatively affected by falsely ending up in the junk mail folder?

Wouldn't the human creators be the biggest advocates of labeling, so that their content can be more easily found among the AI dross? And that's not considering the fate of the platform as a whole if it descends into low-effort AI

Seems better than the alternative: "This content was created by a machine, but being pushed/promoted by a flawed money-grubbing biological organism".

I suppose it all depends on the false positive and false negative rates. But better to start now, before AI ruins the platform. https://web.archive.org/web/20090418141450/http://www.theatl...

That's great news. Hopefully there will be a filter to allow or disallow AI video on your homepage/feed.

Paywall, so I didn't read much past the headline: >Baby Boomers are strangling the economy they built by refusing to move or retire Anyone have stats on what percentage of people born between 1946 and 1964 are still working in 2026?

I will mourn the loss of programming books. I have maybe 100 of them. But I'm assuming that any books from 2024+ will be heavily AI written, so I'm pretty dubious of buying anything more recent than that. Unless some publisher
