CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)...

Yeah, it feels like a much improved version of an Eliza. Much improved, but still software. It doesn't understand what it's saying. TBF though I know a few humans like that.

Yeah I've been thinking that too. Not sure I have time to learn it though so I keep sticking with windows. But I really have to make the effort to switch.

I had just started to appreciate twitter when musk bought it and it turned to shit. The big advantage of it was that it seemed like pretty much everyone was on there to some extent. Mastodon doesn't have anything like that user base, though it feels like it's growing and I much prefer the UI.

Damn I didn't even notice. Guess I don't really look at the pictures.

‘IRL Fakes:’ Where People Pay for AI-Generated Porn of Normal People (www.404media.co)

A Telegram user who advertises their services on Twitter will create an AI-generated pornographic image of anyone in the world for as little as $10 if users send them pictures of that person. Like many other Telegram communities and users producing nonconsensual AI-generated sexual images, this user creates fake nude images of...

I'm wondering if this may already be illegal in some countries. Revenge porn laws now exist in some countries, and I'm not sure if the legislation specifies how the material should be produced to qualify. And if the image is based on a minor, that's often going to be illegal too - some places I hear even pornographic cartoons are illegal if they feature minors. In my mind people who do this shit are doing something pretty similar to putting hidden cameras in bathrooms.

Yeah, if Linux wants to become an alternative OS for average folks, its users need to stop being so evangelical and obnoxious. I'm sure there are linux users who don't blow goats, they're just not on lemmy, or they're keeping quiet.
