I've always been against book banning, but these GenAI created books for kids make me want to reconsider @lcamtuf

Birds aren't real... So I've heard

[sarvo@novoa.nagoya]

@catsalad@infosec.exchange @lcamtuf@infosec.exchange that's not even a book

[mason@partychickens.net]

@catsalad In general I'm against burning books, but even before auto-slop there was The Unbearable Lightness of Being and Guilty: The Collapse of the Criminal Justice System. Those two make me wonder what's wrong with the authors. Then there's Henry Miller, and he makes me wonder what's wrong with publishers to even consider publishing the stuff. So this is a question that's been floating around for a while.

@catsalad @lcamtuf This isn't a book ban.
You can't really call the text on a box of candy a #book.
And this isn't even a box of candy.
So you can file a complaint with #Amazon for fraud.

Although fraud is Amazon's business model)))

@catsalad I thought you liked cats

@lcamtuf That is so cursed!

@catsalad @lcamtuf Wasn‘t it Crustaceans who had invented AI several times in Earth‘s history?

[derherrfreitag@bonn.social]

@catsalad @lcamtuf That is why I prefer (as in "only place I buy my books at") my local bookstore. Never seen such things there.

OR, make it compulsory for the idiots who want to put that thing in charge of peoples social-security checks or whatever

[f4grx@chaos.social]

@maddad @catsalad @lcamtuf thats not *freaky* thats *dangerous* thats what destroys the mere concept of *knowledge*

Kids *trust* books labelled as encyclopedias.

[howking@mastodonczech.cz]

@catsalad @lcamtuf And are you sure that book actually exists? (There’s an avalanche of nonsense on this topic spreading across the internet, and it’s all fabricated to fuel hysterical AI hate.)

[howking@mastodonczech.cz]

@teoman @catsalad @lcamtuf But I don't see any mistakes in those examples. (Well, someone used an existing book to fake it.)

[peter_sch@mastodon.social]

@howking @teoman @catsalad @lcamtuf did you look at the spinning earth at all?

[howking@mastodonczech.cz]

@peter_sch @teoman @catsalad @lcamtuf I don't see the Earth's rotation there. Do you mean the phases of the moon? That's how it's usually depicted, and you'll find it in books from the last century, too. And those incorrect images are labeled "Myth."

[howking@mastodonczech.cz]

@peter_sch @teoman @catsalad @lcamtuf But I was surprised to see that in one image the word "myth" is blue, and in another it's red. (Maybe the book doesn't really exist and it's a scam.)
