GIGO? … Nah, just plain ol’ everyday Garbage (which includes the vast majority of anything printed in the list 5-10 years)

Most of mainstream is probably written by AI, of some form.
As mainstream is mostly fiction; it doesn’t really matter.

We once listened to a podcast between an older doctor who embraced using AI (ChatGPT) for some diagnostics, and a younger one who seemed to be more hesitant to use this tool. So, this AI fad seems to be crossing professions: media, medicine. And, lately, I’ve been wondering if AI is being used in the ugly architecture, ugly music, and the weird corralling going on on the road systems (ostensibly for “bike lanes”). Although AI itself gives me the creeps, what’s far worse is the huge number of people leaning on it, using it as a crutch, and letting the mind atrophy.

It’s the main tool of the newly forming digital prison.
I’m calling the grey-bar-hotel-thread.
You can’t escape it; nor leave home without it-locking you down.
It’s woven into the very digital landscapes, of betrayal.
Constantly being updated, up-loaded, and up; your u-no-what.
Just know, that today is better by far; than what it will be, by tomorrow.
AI Countdowns-2-AI lockdowns…

Is this what they meant by “Hotel California “

It is truly creepy how insidious it is. I went to a medical facility yesterday & was told they only accept digital payment now. The registration person was sympathetic, agreed with me, & wrote down an address where I could mail a check for my share of what Medicare didn’t pay. That was in fine print on the sign that said “only digital payment now.”
My bank has a call in system that used to be automated - now it’s AI. The automated system was superior to the AI - it responded to nuance and could “think” - the AI can’t.

It’s the slow analogue; turned digital squeeze.
Yesterday at a store, they had a sign: No Cash.
I dropped the items I had, and said, “I’ll be back when they accept cash.
How long?” They replied, “About a couple of days.”
But, other places give you no choice.
That sums it up: No choice.
Now that’s what “they” call: progress.
I call them: The Digitistas.

On the interview that Jerm Warfare did with Jobst Landgrebe and Barry Smith - and that I shared in the Forum last week - they address this problem. AI algorithms such as ChatGPT are heavily trained upon “information” created by themselves. If I am not mistaken, that’s figure is something like 70%…
So, just try to imagine the distortion, biases, exponential growth of false information, and lunacy in general that that might create…

…Yep, this is a fun one. 
See also Hubert Dreyfus - (1) What Computers Can’t Do and (2) What Computers Still Can’t Do. 1972 and 1992 respectively. I think both are available gratis on Archive.org.

Thanks for reference to Jeremy (Jerm Warfare) - he’s been doing some good interviews lately… and yes, I knew AI can only respond w what it’s been trained to say. Someone showed that recently, that Grok said “Elon told me to say this” instead of the facts of the situation.

Sounds like these books were ‘kindled’ before they were made available on Kindle. Only the good guys would do such a thing. 
Meanwhile, the experiments continue.
It’s not really data if it’s garbage. It’s just nonsense.
Data is information.
Information is by definition a measurement or a piece of knowledge, yes?
Unless you are going down to the grossest definition and saying something as simple as a character is data? I don’t agree.

The Dodo posted a short video about visual lies in modern videos, (although, something in the tone of voice of the narrator seemed somewhat “off” as well, and thus, I wasn’t completely sure what to make of the video):

AI is real.
But it’s really a tool for “them”/“they”.
“They” will use AI; to tell you, what is real and what is not.
What will be accepted?
“They” will tell you; without a doubt!
“They” are the “experts”.
That was an AI fake; it was removed from the internet.
AI will sanitize what you see.
So, it’s ALL GOOD!!!
No more cuddly Polar Bears.
The real ice-cold monsters; are the ones deciding what’s real.
And, what you won’t see?
"They’ve decided that…
YOU Can’t Handle The TRUTH!
The Truth is…
They are the monsters; deciding what is real, and what is not.
ALL for your own GOOD?
And, she can’t wait…
to be in charge.

The internet is flooded with those things. Animal video’s seem very popular next to all sorts of story telling. I doubt currently 10% of the internet is run with humans behind it. I wonder how much people will be so dependant on AI before energy runs out and give filled zombie streets.
I sometimes wonder how pockets of humanity survived in the era of Noah. That family was % breeds of something else that created the problem in the first place. The Bible isn’t very helpful on that front.
