Wtf is this, it’s like we’re going backwards

and finally, the people who are paranoid that they are gonna get caught -- they know no one wants to read AI writing, and no one wants it in their magazines, on their bookshelves, in their inboxes, and yet they still do it, and share tips on how to avoid detection afterwards

Then we have the people that discover 'writing from scratch' is a better method, as if they'd cracked some fiendish code and invented writing all over again. Using words like 'patch' as if they're building software??

Here's someone listing out all the terrible outputs they got recently, which are very funny. Their suggestion at the end is to get actual writers and editors 'with a degree in writing' to build yet another AI model -- you know instead of just straightforwardly paying them to edit

Then there's the people who realise that it is indeed bad, don't understand, and never reach the conclusion that they could do a better job themselves

Here's a thread where they talk each other in circles trying to understand why writers are threatened by AI if it's outputs are so bad? I guess the outputs must be good, otherwise they wouldn't be threatened!

I saw someone post this earlier, lost the post, then went mad going into the Writing With AI subreddit, and now I've screenshotted a bunch of ridiculous posts that illustrate the kind of things people talk about on there...

I love working on a podcast; the guests give such amazing reading recommendations. Literally this is the list from @naomiaklein.bsky.social's episode. I’ve been doing this for two years now so I’ve collected A LOT of reading lists, have added some recent bangers in this thread

I loved working on this interview because @adambecker.bsky.social really does just use the power of physics to explain why the dreamy AI futures of Silicon Valley men are literally scientifically impossible -- thank you!

With fucktopus I can swear at so many people/things at once

Gave a talk yesterday and at one point said “these moral panics make lawmakers think that todays young people are woke, gay, anti-American communists” and then this bullet appeared on my slide
