#custom or AI?

[writerobscura]

Seriously though, if your parents had this custom set up - they were living doubles lives that you didn't need to know about.

Add another one to the list of hilarious examples of why generative AI doesn't produce correct answers, just statistically likely ones.

(Customers asked for how-to videos, which the company doesn't have. The AI chatbot decided that a million internet users linking to this video after similar requests couldn't be wrong.)

When this person dies I hope their hell is being stuck in a DMV queue, and when it's finally their turn a taciturn lady at the counter keeps snapping vague instructions at them and waving them away to a different queue. Forever.

Hmm, is that the sound of chickens, beginning to come home to roost?

After months of resisting, Air Canada was forced to give a partial refund to a grieving passenger who was misled by an airline chatbot inaccurately explaining the airline's bereavement travel policy. ... Air Canada was seemingly so invested in experimenting with AI that Crocker told the Globe and Mail that "Air Canada’s initial investment in customer service AI technology was much higher than the cost of continuing to pay workers to handle simple queries." It was worth it, Crocker said, because "the airline believes investing in automation and machine learning technology will lower its expenses" and '"fundamentally" create "a better customer experience."

I also highly recommend reading the decision itself:

Highlights:

"In effect, Air Canada suggests the chatbot is a separate legal entity that is responsible for its own actions. This is a remarkable submission."

"While Air Canada argues Mr. Moffatt could find the correct information on another part of its website, it does not explain why the webpage titled “Bereavement travel” was inherently more trustworthy than its chatbot. It also does not explain why customers should have to double-check information found in one part of its website on another part of its website."

And not "AI" related, but delicious snark:

"Air Canada is a sophisticated litigant that should know it is not enough in a legal process to assert that a contract says something without actually providing the contract."

Hey everybody, I've decided to open up a Kofi! I've currently got 2 options available for commissions - Pay What You Want and Customs! I'm really trying to turn my art into a career, and I thought opening a Kofi would help in that. So, if you've got the time, checking out my Kofi would be amazing! Thank you all for the support, and hopefully, I'll be posting more soon. (´｡• ᵕ •｡`)

i hate when people try to defend ai art with “but i want to be able to make pretty pictures like you guys!!” ok grab a canvas go to youtube and watch bob ross. grab some pencils buy a sketchbook and a beginners drawing book and learn like the rest of us. we didn’t spend years honing our craft just so you could plug it into a machine that spits out a poor mimicry in .2 seconds so that you could feel like you made something you didn’t work for

[yeah-yeah-beebiss-1]

people saying "we need stronger copyright laws to stop ai from killing art" as if the ai algorithms wouldnt get immediately trained to automate dmcas on art by real people lmao

online artists when the Illustrated Work Copyright Protection Act of 2025 doesn’t stop their art from being used to train AI algorithms and instead allows Warner Bros to call a drone strike on them because they sold Our Flag Means Death fanart at a con one time in July 2022

Some years ago many of us believed Musk was some kind of genius who'll take us all to Mars.

A lot of us believed that buying Tesla cars would be one of the most effective solution to crimate crisis.

Some of us also thought that AI would be a massive benefit to humanity or at least some sort of harmless hobby.

Oh. We were so wrong!

Elon Musk’s disdain for the Democratic Party was never subtle, but in recent weeks his commentary on the upcoming US presidential election and his attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris have intensified, aided by a crude use of burgeoning artificial intelligence technology, with the help of the new supercomputer dubbed Colossus he bought for his latest artificial intelligence startup, xAI, founded in 2023!

Musk posted an AI-generated image on Twitter/X that depicted Harris as a communist, wearing a red uniform complete with hammer and sickle emblazoned hat and captioned the image with the false assertion, “Kamala vows to be a communist dictator on day one. Can you believe she wears that outfit!?”

The image, which appeared to violate Twitter/X’s policy on manipulated content, resembled an AI-generated image posted by Trump last month during the Democratic National Convention, envisioning Harris addressing a crowd under communist symbols.

Fan-generated AI images have also become the Republican candidate’s latest obsession.

AI images of Trump looking defiant now dominate right-wing social media platforms and accounts and have featured heavily in this election campaign, even used, by Trump and Musk to spread blatant lies and misinformation to their followers mainly on Twitter/X.

Musk’s post came a day after he shared another post with a screenshot suggesting that only “high status males” should be able to participate in government because women (and men with “low testosterone”) are not capable of critical thought. Musk posted it to his 196 million followers with the comment, “interesting observation.”

However, this would exclude a big part of Trump electors and Musk fans, since they actually believed to their lies and persevere in their false perception of reality and society.

Elon Musk is a child of Apartheid. He wasn’t radicalized, he was cultivated. View all his actions through that lense and it all makes sense.

Remember: Elon Musk said Bezos' ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott is destroying western civilization by donating billions to charities for women, minorities and marginalized groups, so in response she doubled her donations.

Elon Musk just unmasked himself as the tech world's poster boy for fascism, openly endorsing a dystopian vision where only "high-status males" rule. His pathetic attempt to masquerade as a free speech advocate crumbles, revealing a dangerous elitist who sneers at democracy and equality.

I know it's been a minute since I've posted anything A.I. related, but I'm finally posting about my little baby, Commodore! I got the 3D printed headpiece from this etsy shop forever ago (at least like a year or two). I also just got a headless OB11, specifically the palest one, to match the color of the Commodore Pet on their head. I might do some painting to the body, to make it look more robotic, but for now I'm quite happy! I do have one other outfit running around here, and when I find, I'll do a little photoshoot then! ☆ ～('▽^人)
