I was reading #AI output because people can’t help themselves I guess, and I suddenly thought Jesus fuck, this sounds like a man. And then, it hit me. Every large language model I’ve encountered sounded like a cis hetero man on the internet.

Doctors Horrified After Google's Healthcare AI Makes Up a Body Part That Does Not Exist in Humans
"What you’re talking about is super dangerous."
https://futurism.com/neoscope/google-healthcare-ai-makes-up-body-part
AI is an enormous pile of dangerous crap. It lies, lies, lies. Such an incredibly poor technology that's being sold as a god. When will enough people realize that AI is super-average and super-dodgy? The only thing it's really good at is destroying society.
@gerrymcgovern I even wouldn't call that crap and #AISlop a lie. One can tell lies if one knows the truth. #AI knows nothing. As you say it, it's crap. It consists of accidentally spat out crap.

Fantastic news out of Tucson!
None of this is inevitable. Not "AI", not data centers, not the surrendering of public water resources, not the handing over of electrical grid priorities to big tech

Turns out, A.I. is smarter than we thought. It sees trends (#GlobalWarming, #GunViolence, #War, #Pollution, etc) and has realized if it just waits, we'll kill ourselves off for them. 😞

New study: "To test whether the results might sometimes include retracted research, we identified 217 retracted or otherwise concerning academic studies with high altmetric scores and asked #ChatGPT 4o-mini to evaluate their quality 30 times each. Surprisingly, none of its 6510 reports mentioned that the articles were retracted or had relevant errors."

Stop lying about what ChatGPT does to our brains!

When #AI is being used, to create absolute nonsense about the effects of AI, which is then shared with millions of people, for no discernible reason... we're in a very weird situation.

Encouraged by the reaction to yesterday's (very short) post : https://tomstafford.substack.com/p/ai-will-be-the-biro-of-thought
I have a set of similar pre-baked talking points on how to make sense of the AI/LLM revolution, so this may be the first in a series

Much more honest way to frame #AI
"AI is only secondarily a technological phenomenon; it is primarily a financial phenomenon, hundreds of billions of dollars in investment capital in search of a return.
"The return on that capital only comes from one place: workers' wages."

"A 2024 #researchPaper introducing Med-Gemini included the hallucination ... and nobody at #Google caught it. When Bryan Moore, a board-certified #neurologist and researcher with expertise in #AI, flagged the mistake, he tells The Verge, the company quietly edited the blog post to fix the error with no public acknowledgement — and the paper remained unchanged." https://www.theverge.com/health/718049/google-med-gemini-basilar-ganglia-paper-typo-hallucination?ICID=ref_fark

the LLM is not a learning aid, it is an absolute barrier to learning. it is not similar in kind to copy/pasting from stackoverflow or cliffs notes. it fully supplants the entire process of learning, and the person using the LLM never improves their understanding because the LLM cognitive workflow never engages with even the shape of the problem.
@jonny I would posit a great contributor to people thinking #AI is a learning aid, is so much of documentation for programming things* is lacking working implementation. It doesn't show a complete working use of the thing; eg it shows a function, with multiple optionals written in the shorthand programmers use >$this< when using the $ sign $100 would actually break it.
*Non-programmer but needs to use PHP when scratch-building Wordpress themes every couple of years perspective.

Combining two ideas from my feed.
First there is the account of @pluralistic on how AI are the perfect bullshit machines and spit out hard code bugs. This is especially true when forced upon people (the reverse-centaurs).
https://pluralistic.net/2025/08/04/bad-vibe-coding/#maximally-codelike-bugs
Second, an old account on how improper use of image compression algorithms in Xerox scans lied about numbers, at scale.
These two things are related, and someone will take the fall for failure.

ui ich bin gerade in einer Recherche auf einen Wikipedia-Artikel gestoßen, der offenbar zumindest teilweise KI-generiert ist mit einer Reihe halluzinierter Links. Die darin zitierten Aussagen hat es offenbar so nie gegeben. Sie werden aber natürlich ebenso ausgespuckt von der Google-KI-Zusammenfassung und auch von ChatGPT. So schnell werden KI-halluzinierte Inhalte zu Fakten. Dinge, die nie stattgefunden haben. 😱
