I almost reflexively downvoted this because the news pisses me off so much, before I stopped myself because it's unfair to shoot the messenger.

If you're someone who actually believes AI-generated content can be good, why is this even necessary‽ Surely the AI stuff will just naturally rise to the top on YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels. Is that not happening? I wonder why...

Gotta hand it to Meta though, that is actually a brilliant name for the product.

    Imagine someone staring, smiling dumbly at an endless stream of fake kitten videos.

    Truly a life without meaning

    Why would I bother watching content nobody bothered making?

    so... if we're going to have AI-generated content, consumed by bots... and then that's going to be summarized with engagement metrics... why don't we cut out the middleman and just generate the metrics?

    I am excited for this platform. It is the best way to show the last person that people don't want ai slop. Make it flop and every investor has to consider thia failure in their delusions.

    Better text to speech and speech to text, automatic image descriptions, better translations.

    ChatGPT and the likes can also be used to access content without ads nor license

    Also you can write the letters "AI" on a paper and rich people will give you money. They'll want it back eventually but hey

    Coderabbit for PR reviews at work has both impressed me and made me aggregated by how incorrect some of the comments are. It's like, it's caught bugs that i would have missed even when looking very closely but also makes the same suggestions to over complicate chunks or suggestions that literally don't work. Such as assuming the db schema when looking at a query and saying "that's not what the column is called".

    So, that's best I've experienced really, basically a PR check that's able to find some really out there bugs but a lot of comments need to be ignored.

    A few developers I know are very impressed by Claude.

    I, too, can copy and paste from StackOverflow.

    I concur, it has gotten me in multiple wild goose chases when debugging. It is extremely confident especially when it's wrong

    It's pretty good at fleshing out documentation. and if you're naming variables properly it's pretty good at gleaning what you're trying to do and autocomplete on a small scale.

    This reminded me of a recent study I saw posted about the accuracy of AI and trying to remove hallucinations. One of the conclusions of which being, besides that it's impossible to stop them from hallucinating, that the tests companies use to grade the quality of an AI and the expectations of users grade confidence in an answer higher than the accuracy of the answer.

    1.) A convoluted way to search for sources about a thing I know nothing about. I looked up how property deeds work and gemini gave me a rough summary and enough links to actually find out what I needed to know. For anything I do know about, just plain google suffices.

    2.) Vulcan straight man for comedy routines.

    Zuck wants this because presumably his synth brain can't tell the difference.

    Hear me out, I wouldn't mind if Google did the same thing with YouTube. That way all the ai slop would be in one feed I can ignore and I can just go back to watching gunpla build videos on autoplay.

    The attempt at co-opting AAVE is so pathetic and yet so on brand for fuckerberg and his sycophants.

    No one asked for Linux. No one asked for IRC. No one asked for email. These are all things that nerds made up and got adopted because they were useful.

    I just think it's the stupidest thing to say: "...that no one asked for." It's such a dumb trope.

    That being said, I think "Vibes" is even stupider.

    But people would have asked for these things at some point. Those are not stupid af.

    Nobody, except some Meta execs, would have ever asked for a feed with AI slop.
