The Onion has an AI policy.

@MLE_online@social.afront.org @jalefkowit@hachyderm.io I... a community theater that wants to use generative ML??

that is... depressing

@aud @jalefkowit Unfortunately, we've had some set designers who are very lazy (and lacking in talent) who have used AI in their sets. As a board member, I've been pushing us to come up with a policy. Some of the board members are on my side, but others are just too credulous and are completely wowed by the magic box. They don't want to agree to a policy that would cut off access to a miraculous tool

@Mae @jalefkowit yeah, Roger Rabbit /toon "but only if it's funny"

@jalefkvowit@hachyderm.io This is how you do an #AI #policy

[wafflesies@infosec.exchange]

@jalefkowit kind of a shame this has to be said in a media website
Like what's the point of running a media site if you aren't even making the media

[sylvie@chitter.xyz]

@stardust yes it can, there are so many ways to obfuscate control flow and sophisticated patterns of mismanaging memory (including but not limited to: pretending automagical memory management works)

[hypolite@friendica.mrpetovan.com]

@david_chisnall I think they describe the outcome (displaced workers) rather than the reason for this outcome (greedy bosses rather than output quality). As such, I think it’s fine. As an aside, you aren’t the first to jump to that conclusion this text doesn’t make, but that AI companies readily do in their marketing material.

@jalefkowit It's definitely better not to use it at all for all the ethics & resources reasons but I have to say there is one (1) exception where I'd love them doing it for the bit: Every time they write an article about anything to do with AI

[david_chisnall@infosec.exchange]

@hypolite The problem is that it can easily be framed by boosters as 'legacy media is avoiding AI because they're scared it can replace them!111eleventyone' as a marketing point. Something unambiguous about 'AI cannot replace our workers but AI salesdroids can often convince managers it can, which harms both workers and the companies that make the poor choices' would be clearer and harder for OpenAI to use as marketing.

@jalefkowit

This must be the straightest and least ironic/sarcastic piece of prose written at The Onion in a long time. Amazing.

@jalefkowit Being reluctantly acknowledged made my day!
