GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

Lol -- that's a lot of inflatable frog costumes! "Currently unavailable", but don't worry -- there are other Amazon vendors selling the same item, and also some similar designs.

Amazon listing depicting the fully-covering inflatable frog costume worn by a protester in Portland, green with black spots and white tummy, and a blue scarf. Shows "800+ bought in past month", "currently unavailable".

We had the fun creative technology that does genuinely helpful thing and the cancerous plagiarism bot that destroys our minds and environment.

Imagine if tech had gone as all-in on 3D printing as they had on AI. We'd have Star Trek fabricators in every apartment by 2030.
