@madeindex@mastodon.social @madeindex@lemmy.world for all its faults I think that last one is one of the most tragic. So many people now see something and first think: okay but that looks too good to be true and since we have ‘this’ it must not be!It’s good to not believe everything you see (people have faked things for eternity) but it is now a lot harder to actually determine things. To me that’s a huge problem and a huge tragedy. #ai #llm

    @xexyl It's very very concerning to me as well! I even expect a future where video and photographic evidence is useless. @madeindex@lemmy.world

    @madeindex@mastodon.social @madeindex@lemmy.world another thing that is only related to ‘useless’: the fact that literally became a contronym. As a logophile who has spent hours (even as a kid) in the dictionary this type of thing gets to me very badly. When a word has its opposite meaning it makes it useless. It’s annoying that I have to reword things to avoid it. Yet on occasion it’s really the best word.

    @madeindex@mastodon.social @madeindex@lemmy.world Some examples are comical. Many of us have thought of the ridiculous ‘inflammable’ and others like that. Yes lexicographers have to update according to how the words are being used. But sometimes they note it’s non standard. They should have at least done that. Btw an example of a long list that popped into my head decades ago: the word long is short than short. Wide and narrow. There are countless others. Language is hilarious. And stupid.

    @madeindex@mastodon.social @madeindex@lemmy.world although in that case a better word (than stupid) Is ironic. Still though it is amusing. Here’s a fun word (and then I better bugger off before something bad happens): logomachy (pl. logomachies). An argument about or over words. A lot more tucked in my head as well of course. And yes I am afraid that I am very guilty of being in many logomachies!(On the other hand it can be fun!)

    @madeindex@mastodon.social @madeindex@lemmy.world well yeah that’s a concern indeed. But here’s the thing. It might already be. And all these stupid shows using ‘it’ - it makes it even worse. Yes some of it can be picked up on. But still there are very big problems already. Unfortunately humans seem to invariably choose the worst possible options and often that is the easiest option. But humans have always been their own destroyers as well. History shows this. To those who pay attention.
