Deploy the hypnobots! Marketing +10000%!
The timeline with the current AI sounds like ripoff from “the paper clips” game, where the only task is to make the number go up. If you play that game, you’ll spot that dark patterns used have spread everywhere since.
it doesn't end well for us.
eventually consuming the earth and universe, converting them into paper clips. 100% addiction game.
Ads in ChatGPT? Okay, you guys have fun with that. I want nothing to do with that BS.
Note that 5th grade papers are always just horrible to read. This is why I don’t like LLM output, because it sounds just like 5th grade papers. Not a soul wants to read middle school papers.
So I think broadly speaking the LLMs can generate middle school papers generally fine, at least they fit in.
Several posts are saying this would be a good thing. Maybe, if implemented like the meme shows, but I worry ads in LLM chatbot output have the potential to be the most insidious and persuasive form of advertising we’ve ever seen. Chatbots are – by their nature – conversational and pushed in forms that are meant to eliminate any sort of thinking on the part of the user. And more and more, people are using them as their closest, most trusted confidants. Who’s to say a (e.g.) political candidate won’t pay to control the narrative of a chatbot, and have their propaganda (“ads”) appear as a private conversation between an individual and their trusted “friend” or “partner”?
Generally, I’m against advertising, but using it to poison AI output is something I can get behind.
Teachers are using AI to grade essays. But some experts are raising ethical concerns
We pretend to study and they pretend to grade us.
Reminds me of the ageless socialist joke:
The boss pretends to pay us, and we pretend to work
Can’t not read that in his voice
I read it three times perfecting his voice, then I read your comment.
Which I think just illustrates that take-home essays aren’t a great way to do things now, if they ever were.
I mean, graded take home essays are a waste. It’s like assigning weight training. Good for exercising, and we can talk about your form when you’re done.
But as soon as you start stack ranking the results, the incentive to cheat outpaces the goal of practicing ingesting and outputing ideas.
95/100, this grade brought to you by Doctor Squatch.
Yeah… That’s a violation of FERPA and is reportable offense that’ll get ya fired or sued. Lol
of course, most of school was bullshit long before AI, so what
School is suppose to teach you how to critically think and learn. The material is mostly there to prove you have the ability to do it.
It kind of is sometimes, but at the same time it’s hard to do education any other way.
Yeah, it’s because it’s not the school that is bullshit.
It’s some of the stuff people do there. At the same time, some aren’t. And we are incredibly bad at telling the difference, and worse than useless on doing that at scale.
best part of my education happened outside of class, in TA and office hours (or prepping for them). same with best part of my college years.
Wow! The enshitification of LLM comes quicker than what I would believe
Too soon, it might kill AI chatbots (fingers crossed)
We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Yes, you do, because you’ve just used a double negative.
I’m glad you raised that to my attention. Would you have a few minutes to allow me to introduce you to a most righteous and contentious rock and roll band, The Pink Floyd?
I think you might enjoy a quick listen to Dark Side of the Moon and then journey on to The Wall. All in all a nice little jaunt.
I appreciate your effort to educate me on the fine music of Pink Floyd, but i have to let you know, i was already aware of them. Let me return the favour and tell you of the show i was quoting: The IT Crowd is a brilliant bit of British comedy depicting the escapades of the IT department in a stereotypical company.
here is a link to the bit i was quoting.
Did you try turning it off and back on again?
//Jk. Love the IT Crowd. Appreciate the back and forth for some amusement in the trying times
My brain automatically read that in Richard Ayoade’s voice.
Ayaya ayaya!
And you’re a prescriptivist!
WARTHUNDER, THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE VEHICLE BATTLE SIMULATION
At least that way we’ll be able to tell when things are AI-generated.
I was thinking this will be a good turing test. Going to be tricky for ad block to stop.
Busted
One of the few situations where advertising could be a good thing
