Pet peeves: The return (Part 10)

Is a certain someone still looking for an astral light bow?

Mister will do. I still think Sir is a fantastic cat name. Would Sir like some tuna? Sir, please don’t pee on the floor…

Just saw a video about how someone lost their job to AI, and below the video’s description there is an ā€œAI-generated video summaryā€ to provide an objective account of the video’s contents.

I’m not even that fervently anti-AI - I don’t begrudge individuals who use AI on a personal basis, but I look down on companies that incorporate AI into their business, and I always make it clear that the usage of AI says nothing about the user’s talent or creativity - but even I’m a little flabbergasted by this.

please put a price on a COD and send it my way

This stuff is straight up evil, and I’m getting tired of trying to be civil with people who clearly have functioning brains and yet make excuses for this slop…

I, on the other hand, immediately lose a great deal of respect for the person who says ā€˜let me just search this really quick’ and open up chatGPT rather than wikipedia or, god forbid, google

google is basically chatgpt at this point. again the forced AI intergration into search engines is making things so much worse to navigate

i don’t need an AI summary of a question that your AI has pulled from somewhere. i also don’t want to open images to find the majority of what i’m looking for some trash that’s been generated by midjourney

in the internet straight up ā€œbinging itā€, and by ā€œitā€, haha, well. lets just say, my searches.

I’ve got multiple site and keywords blocklists set up to reduce the amount of AI trash ā€œā€ā€œartā€ā€œā€ that gets thrown up on image searches and even with that it still gives me maybe one in 12 as just something that’s not real.

Hate it. Sloppification.

how do we know your still the real akamito and not an AI

While I’m peeving - mobile game ads where the gameplay skill on display is deliberately bad so your brain goes ā€œI could do better than thatā€ and urges you to play it to prove it, which is exactly what the advert was intended to do in the first place. I know that’s what they’re doing, I know that’s how it works, I refuse to give in, and yet every time I see the ads my brain still gets the little urge to download it anyway.

There’s a steam game called something like ā€œthis is those gamesā€ which is just a whole load of those dumb mobile games that get constantly advertised but without the pregnant elsa spiderman overlays they all seem to advertise and also it costs like 5 quid. Highly recommend.

I dunno about the temperatures where everyone else is but it’s meant to be getting down to -9 tonight in Sheffield, and I think that’s awful. :slight_smile:

My thought process every time I look at any of my druid characters.

If WoW allowed model/animation mods like FF14 sorta does it wouldn’t be a problem, but…alas, no.

the whiplash coming from sicily a few days ago has been fun
