The current state of "Hacker" News, where suggesting someone actually write code is seen as like suggesting that the injured walk to the hospital.

The main use cases for AI: fakery, deception, and making money off the back of real human creativity.

In a contest between the "supercharge my education and skill development" use and "let me be as lazy as possible" use of AI, it should be pretty obvious which will win out at the end of the day.

What a waste. All the anticipation that used to be built up with previews and looks into the dev process, now flushed down the toilet so billionaires can flood the web with crap and make more billions.

Other AIs, of course. AIs all the way down.

It has been going downhill for quite some time. The more recent flood of AI bots and now this change may be the last two nails in the coffin.

Award-winning writing has all kinds of different styles. The average of them will probably get you some boring median soup once again, though maybe a bit less bland than the LLMs trained on oceans of LinkedIn and Reddit slop.

Spain didn't even have high-speed trains until the early 1990s so I don't think that's the case here.

It even has the LLM-ism "it's not just X, it's Y" (no es solo _, es _).

"Altman" just means "old man" (alt = old in German). Nothing to do with Latin-origin "alter" or "alternate."

I have a coworker who used AI to generate music for a funeral using prompts with facts about the life of the deceased. (He just mentioned this offhand one day like it was no big deal.) I guess he "saved money" by not hiring a human musician.

I really, really wish I were making this up.

In this case I think part of the "bad" was the clear lack of care shown by leaving in the AI "brand" in the end result. "Slop" is a perfect term to apply there.

When I took my daughter to a birthday party the other weekend, the playplace where the party was held had multiple party rooms, each with a large themed mural covering the walls. We were in the "dinosaur room" and the art was obviously AI-generated. This crap is everywhere.

New version of "it's not that deep" dropped.

Bots and their slop (especially when it's hard to tell apart from human-made content) are the ones "poisoning the Internet."
