I’m learning there’s a significant portion of the population that is completely unbothered and unnoticing of AI slop smell. Some days I wish I could ignore or tolerate it too, given how prevalent it has become so quickly - but it repulses m

Yeah, and heavily rewritten by AI. Every single sentence screams AI slop smell. I find that short content smells the most - AI tends to overfit its patterns even more strongly then.

Apple’s various privileged device-level ads and instant-stop-on-cancel trials and special rules for notifications for their paid additional services like Fitness+, Music, Arcade, iCloud+, etc are all proof that they do not care about the us

Respectfully, you said: > YaCy does a pretty good job I assume that should be qualified with some basic amount of evidence beyond “I said so”? Anyways, thanks for pointing me in the direction of YaCy, will try it out.

by yunohn 9mo ago
Yeah, that’s not really reassuring nor indicative of its usefulness or value.

by yunohn 9mo ago
The point of my comment was that the AI/LLM is almost irrelevant in light of low quality search engine APIs/indexes. Is there a way to validate the actual quality and comprehensiveness of YaCY beyond anecdata?

> I wish LLMs were good at search The entire situation of web search for LLMs is a mess. None of the existing providers return good or usable results; and Google refuses to provide general access to theirs. As a result, all LLMs (except

I’m not sure if the Verge has been living under a rock, but like 80% of social media posts are rewritten by AIs these days, by the OP themselves. Heck, even a large chunk of articles and blogs too. Without making a judgement either way, tha

Indeed, AI is basically being used to generate various sorts of “spam”. You can see it all over the internet, and feel the uncanny valley ick.

What happens to the infrastructure built or businesses run or labor contributed by “illegal” immigrants who are now deported? Does the USA somehow reverse it and make it disappear? Such a line of reasoning used to justify this kind of extra

IMHO the better middle ground is to use a nice (potentially fine tuned) small model locally, of which there are many now thanks to Chinese AI firms.

Ah then I trust you are completely aware that federal prisons already make prisoners work for their keep, and the privatization of prisons and their lobbying has led to a vicious cycle of imprisonment for cheap prison slave labor? Of course

It’s definitely partially solved by extensive custom prompting, as evidenced by sibling comments. But that’s a lot of effort for normal users and not a panacea either. I’d rather AI companies introduce noise/randomness themselves to so

I used to rely on this, and still mostly do - but you’d be surprised how quickly this has entered the normal vernacular! I hear people using it in conversation unprompted all the time.

“Why this matters” being the final section is a guaranteed give away, among innumerable others.

I have reached a point where any AI smell (of which this articles has many) makes me want to exit immediately. It feels tortuous to my reading sensibilities. I blame fixed AI system prompts - they forcibly collapse all inputs into the same

Maybe I’m missing something, but why does their AI agent setup require 3-5 sessions to send one email??

Look I don't know what to tell you, but your repeated attempts to launder AI responses as not AI is incredibly off-putting. Anyways, you do you!

Is there a (non-ironic) reason you used AI for this reply as well?

Y’know I’m starting to think that every single migration from paid to free software, will end up in the same cycle of becoming feature-locked. People time and again fail to understand that you need to financially support projects you use fo

This article is so heavily edited by ChatGPT that every single sentence exhibits AI slop smells. It’s so hard to read anything these days without being put off by the repetitive robotic style of AI.

Your devils advocate position appears to be in direct opposition to multiple court rulings that forced RyanAir to acknowledge and remove dark patterns. And thus, may not be an opinion that others share for pretty obvious reasons?

This is absolutely ridiculous and insane. I feel deep sadness for what children these days are being put through, by scammy tech companies and the infamous NRA at the same time. The cherry on top is that they refuse to provide statistics on

My criticism is more about the fake-sounding pre-release insider hype aspect than the inevitable nature of forward progress.

I love how every single LLM model release is accompanied by pre-release insiders proclaiming how it’s the best model yet…

Why does the LLM get to send data to the website?? That’s my whole point, if you don’t expose a way for it to send data anywhere, it can’t.
