There is an attempt to make people feel like being critical of using LLMs is not "hip and with it" Only old people who don't understand technology are unimpressed.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Young people don't like the slop, the most tech people have the harshest words.
The typical AI fan doesn't know how it works or the limitations: this blind spot makes them both dazzled and fearful ... therefore unable to assign blame to humans when they do crime in a computer suit.

(Full article is sadly paywalled but the abstract summarises. The final two sentences may make you want to scream into the abyss for a while.)

@futurebird ... I am totally writing this out as a quotation to put on my wall. In my crappy calligraphy. Because this sums it all up beautifully. Thank you.

@desatyr @veronica @Phosphenes @rgulick @futurebird my 15 year old calls out AI images and videos instantly, even in thibgs that are really well done. I will ask her what she sees, and it will take her some time to point out the things that gave her the feel. When I look at her points, she is invariably correct.

In difficult cases I use my kids senses too.

Sometime they can not tell why, but most times they can point wmout what is wrong.

@futurebird I am old, baby boomer gen and everytime I read these threads I get the feeling that us old withered specimens get the blame for AI because we don't always spot it. I can barely spot my wife without my sodding glasses.
Many may not understand it but its not our fucking fault that it's taken over. It's middle aged tech bros mostly and the younger people who actually work on LLMs.
End of rant... Apologies, I am going back to eating my liquidised food while sitting in the rocking chair and shouting at the neighbours kids. Feel free to ignore me.
