Some search queues return me pages of word-to-word copypastes of one ‘original’ AI gen article. On top of existing power-googling, you need not to include words that are particularly popular in slop. It brought a need to rewrite a queue a couple of times before it gets to the point.
They learnt on the worst examples of SEO, and then intertwined with it.
What are the words to exclude?
It depends, that’s why I said it requires reruns with some slight modifications. When I was looking for a FOSS or at least Linux-friendly software for some live video visuals manipulation, VJ and everything with ‘video’ triggered a wave of slop, but ‘projecting software’ lead me to a rabit hole of actual list of choices, albeit most of them were paid, proprietary and Windows only.
It’s counter to my previous expirience of including certain words to narrow the search: now I watch for what keywords bring most AI articles and drop\change them.
That’s always kind of bothered me about the whole generative AI thingamabob. Why are we generating things and storing them, when the ability to generate more of it is right there?
I mean, I know in lots of cases the output is extremely flaky, so it’s not as easy to just generate the same thing again, but yeah, it still feels kind of backwards…
Storing consumes less electricity. Don’t give them any ideas.
don’t trust anything written after 2021 that isn’t straight from Wikipedia
it’s funny how my teachers used to say don’t trust everything you read on Wikipedia because anyone could edit it but now it’s among the most trustworthy websites around
Yep, if your search engine of choice supports it, using ‘before:2022’ yields drastically better search results.
Pfffft. Not far enough. You have to go back to 2015 to even find articles that aren’t shitty lists or repeating the ‘target’ word 15 times for SEO. AI has only sped up the ability to generate shit.
just went through this looking up what a daruma doll is.
I read a couple sentences and then realized it was ai slop
Obligatory xkcd.
Is that… loss?
AI trains using AI generated articles on repeat. Have you seen what happens to a YouTube video when you download and reupload a video over and over again?
AI trains using the same information available to humans. It will keep up comparatively.
Not uncritically an irrationally hating AI to its very core is going to upset the hivemind
Yeah but if AI content starts to outpace human made content it will start a feedback loop of AI slop. It’s basically informational entropy
So you’re saying it’ll take us down with it.
Considering how much harder it has become to find good information sometimes, I believe this. Fuck slop farms.
cooked I tell ya
