  • Human posting of AI-generated content is definitely a problem

    It isn’t clear whether this content is posted by humans or by AI fueled bot accounts. All they’re sifting for is text with patterns common to AI text generation tools.

    There wasn’t necessarily anything stopping people from doing the same thing pre-GPT

    The big inhibiting factor was effort. ChatGPT produces long form text far faster than humans and in a form less easy to identify than prior Markov Chains.

    The fear is that Wikipedia will be swamped with slop content. Humans won’t be able to keep up with the work of cleaning it out.

    You can do that with this novel technology called “a second pair of glasses for reading”.

    Alternatively, if you don’t want to constantly adjust because you only need to read something quick, try taking off your glasses and squinting.

    Could save you thousands of dollars and hours on the line with technical support.



  • Problem: Most people only process text at the 6th grade level

    Proposal: Require mainstream periodicals to only generate articles accessible to people at the 6th grade reading level

    Consequence: Everyone accepts the 6th grade reading level as normal

    But… New Problem: We’re injecting so many pop-ups and ad-inserts into the body of text that nobody ever bothers to read the whole thing.

    Proposal: Insert summaries of 6th grade material, which we will necessarily have to reduce and simplify.

    Consequence: Everyone accepts the 3rd grade reading level as normal.

    But… New Problem: This isn’t good for generating revenue. Time to start filling those summaries with ad-injects and occluding them with pop ups.


  • Given the degree to which the modern day Wiki mods jump on to every edit and submission like a pack of starved lions, unleashing a computer to just pump out vaguely human-sounding word salad sounds like a bad enough idea on its face.

    If the AI is being given priority over the editors and mods, it sounds even worse. All of that human labor, the endless back-and-forth in the Talk sections, arguing over the precise phrasing or the exact validity of sources or the relevancy of newly released information… and we’re going to occlude it with the half-wit remarks of a glorified chatbot?

    Woof. Enshittification really coming for us all.



  • It’s a secret smart phone that was smuggled out of the country by the Top Spies in the “Going to N. Korea to ride the subway” YouTube gang. We sent in some of our stealthiest and most clandestined professional infiltrators. Real Navy Seals meets Mission Impossible type guys. And they came out of N. Korea with this cutting edge “phone that randomly takes pictures while its in your pocket” technology.

    Using the country’s state of the art telecommunications system and their cutting edge image processing technology, the Glorious Leader analyzes over 40 Zetabytes of information daily. This dragnet of highly accurate, insanely rigorous, and insidiously nefarious ultra-spyware is then handed over to a crack team of North Korean special agents who utilize their pre-crime tracing technology to break up hundreds of resistance cells every year, long before they can become a threat to the iron fisted communist regime.

    It’s the only explanation for why North Koreans haven’t fully revolted and overthrown their despotic leadership. Juche Super-science keeps the rabble in line.
