"The worst was seeing small, especially creative, businesses — and even graphics designers — hopping on the trend.
[...]
Every single one of those businesses, even the small ones, could have afforded to pay an artist. But they didn’t."

"Not very sophisticated AI-generated papers are easy to spot—if, again, you know what to look for. In terms of both syntax and tone, they all sound roughly the same. Very neutral, very bland."

Fedi Hive Mind - AI Free Label
OK, we have a winner. For the last few days we've been discussing a label for creative content and code attested to be free of generative AI (see QP in second reply). Yesterday's poll showed a clear preference for the simplest of the four options.
Seems like what we need next is someone with actual graphics ability to take this rough concept and create usable graphics. If you are interested please read on to the first reply.
Nice to see a very visible person like @anilkseth converge, in every possible way, with things I've been saying for a while now:
https://www.noemamag.com/the-mythology-of-conscious-ai
Consciousness is *not* a matter of computation, but a matter of experiencing. #AI algorithms are unable to experience. They are simply not the kind of system that experiences anything. Autopoiesis is required. We may be able to simulate that, but simulation is not reality. To be real, organisms must invest energy to construct themselves.

I’ve been testing a theory: many people who are high on #AI and #LLMs are just new to automation and don’t realize you can automate processes with simple programming, if/then conditions, and API calls with zero AI involved.
So far it’s been working!
Whenever I’ve been asked to make an AI flow or find a way to implement AI in our work with a client, I’ve returned back with an automation flow that uses 0 AI.
Things like “when a new document is added here, add a link to it in this spreadsheet and then create a task in our project management software assigned to X with label Y”.
And the people who were frothing at the mouth at how I must change my mind on AI have (so far) all responded with resounding enthusiasm and excitement.
They think it’s the same thing. They just don’t understand how much automation is possible without any generative tools.

Voting Red again will get us all more #AI #DataCenters, more #defunded law enforcement (i.e. #bureaucracy & #regulation) for more #GovernmentFailure like #cyclosporinea #DiarrheaLettuce, more #tariffs, more #ICE chasing children (and shooting citizens protesting and detaining legals & citizens in #ConcentrationCamps and monitoring everyone's every move with #Flock cameras and more), blowing up fishermen for foreign dictator vassals, #bullying our faithful free friends, and starting more stupid #ForeverWars.
I wanted try out #deepseek and #Chatgpt o3-mini al little bit and thought: Get your #selfhosting setup cleaned up and those #nextcloud errors.
In a way I hate to say it, but #AI was way easier and faster than hours spent searching the web, reading reddit and asking in forums. And I totally get why that is: I can't expect that everybody and there grandfather jumps to my help. And AI is borrowed knowledge.
YMMV, but if you use Microsoft Office and are concerned about its AI and use of private documents for AI training, I’ve happily used @libreoffice’s Writer for years, exchanging documents with Microsoft Office users.
It is available for Windows and macOS, as well as Linux.
You don’t have to uninstall Microsoft Office to try it - the two will run side by side just fine.

Brian Eno: "The biggest problem about AI is not intrinsic to AI. It’s to do with the fact that it’s owned by the same few people, and I have less and less interest in what those people think, and more and more criticisms of what the effect of their work has been."

I am a #smolweb advocate and, sometimes, I use LLMs.
I spend a lot of time thinking about simplicity. Fewer dependencies, lighter
pages, tools that do one thing well. So yes, it might look strange that I also
spend time talking to large language models. Let me explain where I draw the
line, and why I think the contradiction is smaller than it appears...
