AI Summaries of Articles (hexbear.net)

Most people do not read the article link that's posted. So I put an AI summary of the link as a comment, but as a spoiler so if you don't want to engage with it you don't have to and also the full article so people can more accessibly read the article. Also as a spoiler so it doesn't take up a full page of a comment. It got removed by a mod as AI slop.

I could use AI on a headline and you would never know the difference. I could just say it's my own summary also probably wouldn't know the difference. Punishing people for being transparent about using LLMs who are not forcing the reader to engage with them is a net positive and a good practice to teach. The opposite is people still use them and just pretend they aren't.

All uses of AI are slop 100% of the time

If people already can't commit to reading an article they probably shouldn't suffer further brain damage from the shit machine

100% remains an overstatement- 90% plausibly. But I continue to argue that AI significantly helps me practically with coding, debugging, and learning stuff.

By using an LLM to learn anything or help you in your career you are the cause of all climate catastrophe.

There may be professional uses which, although they do not justify the environmental or labor impact, do have operational merit, shitposting on this website is most certainly not one of them. This place is for human beings.
