"Any cultural change that pushes against the powerful interests and revenue potential of entrenched industry players - whether car manufacturers, Big Tobacco or Big Tech. Those players will push back but we continue to push ahead."

"We need to stop thinking of [AI] companies as merely businesses providing us products and services. These are new forms of empire that are consolidating a historic amount of economic and political power, terraforming our earth, reshaping our geopolitics"

“Perhaps consuming a few dozen book pages a day should become the new 10,000 daily steps — a basic foundation of activity to maintain cognitive fitness.”

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, one of the most pernicious aspects of AI is the way that it steadily erodes our trust in each other. Even if you do not use AI you are forced to wonder if/how others are using it and if you’ll be accused of using it…

What's wrong with writing with AI?

Alain deBotton says: "I don't just write to produce a certain numbers of words. I write in order to honor certain feelings, and AI can't know those feelings because it's not me.

It doesn't know what I want to say. And if I simply give my writing over to AI, it will crush my nascent sense about what it is I really want to say."

This might surprise younger people but in the ‘90s most of us knew how to read & were culturally literate. You could mention King Arthur or Citizen Kane and everyone knew what you meant. We were capable of writing essays. We had educational TV. We have lost so much, so quickly.

Penguin Random House sued OpenAI today for alleged copyright infringement.

They say ChatGPT generated text and images “virtually indistinguishable from” one of their children’s books.

The side by side comparison is quite something

"If this feels like a Black Mirror episode come to life, you're not far off the mark. The founder of Luka [...] was inspired by the Black Mirror episode 'Be Right Back', in which a woman interacts with a synthetic version of her deceased boyfriend."

It's has been tested and shown now that "AI" is less than 1% - in fact less than 0.4% - on its way towards Human Level Intelligence (AGI).

Please share to help stop the AI industry hype and the lies that are damaging our societies.

[Ewan Morrison @MrEwanMorrison]

45% of all AI answers had at least one significant issue.
31% of responses showed serious sourcing problems – missing, misleading, or incorrect attributions.
20% contained major accuracy issues, including hallucinated details and outdated information.
4 AI systems in this study.

Shout it from the rooftops!!! Research is thinking. Outlining is thinking. Writing is thinking. Any portion of that done by AI is less thinking done by you.

Literacy. If the oligarchs have their way, the children of the very rich will have human teachers, physical textbooks, handwritten assignments, phoneless schools. Everyone else will have chromebooks, malfunctioning AI tutors and screen addiction.

This is your weekly reminder that the Washington Post has a partnership with OpenAI and this therefore may influence their "news" around AI.

It "ONLY" took 20 years to hold social media companies liable for their harmful practices.

We don't have all that time in AI.

This website shows you how much money is being siphoned off from human artists by AI slop on Spotify.

Over $2.5 million lost by real people - and that's just from 50 AI ‘artists’.

Slop dilutes royalties. A major reason AI training on copyrighted work should not be considered fair use.
