And so you understand that this is 100% legit... Here is their apology after they branded their potential slaves.

Yes, whatever PR person wrote that did a good job.

It's an AI slop company so...

AI can generate text, but it can't identify the moral issue with forcing people to get tattoos, so...

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So... The prompt they used was more specific than "Write an apology?"

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (4 children)

The apology identified the problem (AI can't do that) and came up with an appropriate remedy (AI can't do that).

It may be that the final version of the text was written by an AI, but it seems likely that a PR firm or crisis communications firm was used to defuse the situation. Those companies are used not just because they can generate text, but because they're able to identify the problem, come up with a solution, and do it in a way that ends the news cycle. Those are skills that require empathy and understanding human nature, which is something AI doesn't do.

Dude you're so full of shit, it even identifies the fact it's a party and people were drunk and can't consent

By saying "What's the moral issue here?" You indicated there was a moral issue to find.

I would bet that if you used that prompt for something where there were absolutely no moral issues, it would invent one.

Perhaps you haven’t been using LLMs recently - they absolutely do that now.

I checked and it seems like the main difference with an AI suggested apology is the addition of gaslighting:

We did NOT offer instant interviews based on tattoos. That was never our intent. We brought a tattoo artist to our party as a fun, optional activity — like face painting or photo booths — to help break the ice. No one was pressured. No one was evaluated. And no one was hired because of a tattoo.

Or maybe they just used the feedback they got to craft the prompt. Or just fed the feedback directly into the llm and told it to craft an apology based on that.

Regardless, I don't really care how they arrived at the soulless apology so I'm going to move on.
