AI has (incorrectly) identified me as the author of a smut book called “My Grumpy Billionaire Secret” and offered to replace my AI audiobooks with new AI audio

[riverpunk@defcon.social]

@molly0xfff I recently received a cold email offering some strange AI-powered service that would let me uhh, search through the transcript of various Instagram reels I'd watched? On a monthly subscription basis.

??? what are these people even doing at this point...

[molly0xfff@hachyderm.io]

@scm Nah, there is a book on Amazon with this name (“My Grumpy Billionaire Secret”) by an author who shares my name

[Gæst]

@molly0xfff That other book is all that came up for me when I searched, I guess I didn’t dig deep enough

[brokar@mastodon.social]

@molly0xfff Well, i'd do that in a heartbeat if the billion comes along with it

[integerpoet@sfba.social]

@molly0xfff @drahardja The word I struggle with the most in this post is “book”. I want to take this book in a time machine with me back to, say, Dickens. “How do you like this BOOK, Chuck?” He’d scream “Gaaaah, demon! Go back to Hell!” as he stabbed me repeatedly.

[bigozzie@mastodon.world]

@molly0xfff I'd be really, really mad about this. AI disgusts me. And I'm not even a writer. Good luck to you. BTW, How patronising was that message (whoever it was for)?

[alvin@curiously.legit.industries]

@molly0xfff would the first chapter be really representative? It ought to demo the climax, so we can make sure it can do the voices and the squicking noises

[vashbear@hachyderm.io]

@molly0xfff

Wow. Alex Karp has a side gig doing Audio books!

[kboyd@phpc.social]

@molly0xfff ah-ha! Now @grmpyprogrammer has even more ammunition for his AI theft claim.

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@molly0xfff

"Alek Karp"

omg. pure comedy

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@vashbear @molly0xfff

no that's "Alek Karp"

Alex's somehow even more creepy gooner brother i suppose

[cstamp@mastodon.social]

@benroyce @molly0xfff I wonder how many free chapters it would take to completely take Alek down.

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@CStamp @molly0xfff

feed it 10,000 chapters of smut and palantir's system will turn into the world's first AI porn addict

[cstamp@mastodon.social]

@benroyce @molly0xfff Hahahaha!

[jigmedatse@social.openpsychology.net]

@molly0xfff@hachyderm.io That sounds absolutely wonderful. "We're really good, we can replace your smut with better smut..." Nothing wrong with smut, but I think there's something seriously wrong with LLMs.

[number5@t.number5.dev]

@molly0xfff maybe sorts of social engineering campaign in play

[bms@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@molly0xfff Aside from a recent attempt to "ensloppify" a Phabricator code review I should have closed off weeks before, I've escaped this level of personal attention by the slop peddlers successfully (and have now ground any of the erroneous LLM generated output from as late as April when I was evaluating the technology which had leaked into my work into dust)

[bigolewannabe@hachyderm.io]

@molly0xfff that's exactly what the secret author of a billionaire smut book would say.

[muddle@infosec.exchange]

@molly0xfff iLands in the (internet) stream, that is what we are...
