Ah, "the fruit of the poisonous tree" anti-AI sentiment. I think it's a ridiculous stance, but I understand.

Don't ever let anyone hear you speaking to your phone or check a weather forecast! That's AI and by using it, you're just contaminating the world.

Also, if you catch COVID and end up in the hospital, make sure to refuse all the treatments that are drugs discovered by AI. That's literally generative AI, BTW. Same exact tech as LLMs. Pharmaceutical companies are building data centers left and right to find more drugs like those COVID treatments. Don't let them put one near you!

    At first I thought the term, "AI slop" was funny. Now I think it's generally bad. Slop (aka awful writing/art/code) existed long before AI. Now people are starting to call reasonably well-made stuff "slop" just because AI was used at some point in the making of the thing. That's unreasonable and it's actually really bad for the anti-AI crowd's image.

    Just last night (on a Discord server) someone claimed they flagged a story as "AI" because the cover image may have been created with AI. When I opened the story to check it, it was full of so many grammatical errors and just generally bad writing I thought to myself, "there's no fucking way this is AI!" Also, WTF does the cover image have to do with the story at all? Its entire purpose is to just draw attention to the story. It's irrelevant.

    By reporting that story as AI, that person just lowered the trustworthiness of all "AI" labels and anti-AI sentiment in general.

    No. You don't understand. I work in finance. I'm sure our legal teams think Big AI lobbying and lawyers look, "oh so cute."

    If and when AI gets regulated and the industry bitches and complains about the cost of compliance, we'll be posting that, "First time?" Meme 🤣

    I work for a HUGE organization that uses all the big AI companies products. We have a contract for each that specifies that they MUST NOT train their models with our code.

    If they do it anyway, my employer's vast teams of lawyers will make them take out brand new billion dollar loans to pay off the settlements. They might not even survive such a lawsuit because if they were caught using our code you can bet your ass they used everyone else's that has a similar contract.

    Bismuth also has the added advantage of being able to cure your upset stomach,. diarrhea, indigestion/acid reflux!

    You just have to dissolve the round in hot nitric acid, then separate the white (tin) crystals that form (after an hour of keeping it hot) by pouring the resulting liquid through an acid-resistant paper filter (or a fancy glass microfiber), and finally react the purified bismuth solution with salicylic acid and BAM! DIY Pepto Bismol 👍
