"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Omg I remember finding that on Stumbleupon! Iβm glad itβs still up. So many classic sites are gone now.
omg I'm laughing like a little kid. this is hilarious
This is one of the dumbest sites I've ever seen.
Thank you.

i read somewhere that ai will generally compose images of humans using the same 8 or 9 poses and camera positions
ai must have gathered that the pointing thing must be a key-frame human activity
the bots would focus on the finger, and not what it's pointing at. It's slightly amusing and very on brand

I'm sorry, is that fucking TechnoViking vs Bruce Lee?
JFC.
technoviking
Now THERE is a name I haven't heard in ages? Gotta look that up again!
I wondere what happened to him
One can only assume that he is still dancing, either in this realm or in Valhalla.
EDIT
I guess uh, if you're not an old head:
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/technoviking
One of the earliest net memes, old enough that some versions of it are in the demotivational poster format.
This is just YouTube default algorithm now. Ai slop videos that are so obviously fake and often all they are is just a slideshow of ai images along with a text to speech narrator reading AI text
Youβd like the DeArrow browser extension.
DeArrow is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube. The goal is to make titles accurate and reduce sensationalism. No more arrows, ridiculous faces, and no more clickbait.
[β¦]
Titles can be any arbitrary text. Thumbnails are screenshots from specific timestamps in the video. These are user submitted and voted on. By default, if there are no submissions, it will format the original title to the user-specified format, and set a screenshot from a random timestamp as the thumbnail. This can be configured in the options to disable formatting, or show the original thumbnail by default.
Out of curiosity, did the original video have a finger-pointing still like this?
No, it was a song by a band from the 1960s (which could explain the Bob Dylan suggested videos)
Ah, so it's not an "algorithm finding similar poses in videos" thing, it's just AI deciding that's a Human Pose? π¬
Or the AI content farms deciding that itβs a high-engagement thumbnail style to use
Yup. That and the HFY videos that the algorithm will barf out at you. Ugh. I usually go down the side list and "don't recommend channel" to all of them when they show up. Absolute trash..
I'm convinced this is a psyop to make boomers and older genx question their own memory. this opens the door for further washing and manipulation.
Remember when trained professional fighters used to randomly fight people in the audience?
Yep. Problem was how often they'd accidentally pick Bruce Lee

On youtube, you have to learn to use the DON'T RECOMMEND CHANNEL BUTTON a lot
There is too much A.I. slop on yt spewing out wrong information and trying to rewrite history it is disgusting.
I get that I'm apparently the weird one here, but I don't get why people put up with this instead of just using your subscriptions feed. I turned off watch history a long time ago and it has been great.
I've found loads of actually good and interesting high effort content from recommendations.
Indeed. I understand the algorithm hate round here, and if someone decides that they don't want any recommendations from Google at all that's their business, but I do appreciate some of what they send my way. Recently, whether due to a tweak on the back end or a quirk of my recent watch history, I've found I've been getting a fair number of very small channels filtering into my recommendations. Without those recs, I'm never gonna find someone's 712 view video from 3 years ago about scratch building an original spaceship design, so I'm happy to have a space where those can show up in addition to my personally curated subscription feed.

This is what I do. Iβve had history turned off for a few years now. Itβs also helped curtail my watching if YouTube since it wonβt recommend more stuff.
This racist man pooped today he didnt know his "poop" was actually Bruce Lee and the president and an old farmer
what happened next is astounding
Don't you mean "r*cist"?

Rodney Dangerfield: π±
I'm (barely) ashamed to admit that that one also captivated my attention.
I zoomed in to see where Rodney was looking, but the image was too blurry. (zoomed in on HIS face)
I also zoomed in... but at a different location.
I was just watching this and it seems related to your situation:
Why Are Americans So Bloody Stupid? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9MubNsh3rs
Yeah, why are Americans this dumb?
I just saw the first one (Rodney Dangerfield, top left) and the last one (Johnny Carson, bottom right) when I was watching a video just now. I usually watch videos on Youtube in a private browser tab by manually searching for the person's channel or video that I want to watch. The recommended videos are always absolute garbage.
Got the same. Was looking up videos to repair a window balance. π€·ββοΈ
Yup.
I made a video earlier this year about how you can (over time) train the algorithm to give you less of this crap. Unfortunately there's just no concrete setting for turning off recommendations that contain AI slop, but you can tell the system to give you less with a little engagement.
THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!

Thank goodness my YouTube bookmark is on my Watch later or subscription to avoid these clickbait videos.
yt has a sign in option?
And ppl use it??

I've been using YouTube since before Google bought it. I remember having to merge accounts at one point.
Haven't used YT in ages. I use NewPipe instead
Yeah, pre shit-show webshites like YouTube, Reddit/Imgur, etc were great, but they had profit incentive.
It's why we must cherish & support the relatively (by comparison) unenshitified services like Wiki, even Mozilla, etc. (+ ofc all the great foss projects).
Are you on a VPN?
No
A while back YT wanted me to "enable watch history", which was until then already enabled, I guess? Well, I refused to do it, so my home page was blank. That's when I switched to using the Subscriptions page as my home page on YT, and the site has been much better now. I still get recommended videos on the right side, but I can easily ignore them.
On a different note; the resemblance between Jeff Bezos and Rodney Dangerfield is striking! Are they father and son?! Both with these hellsapoppinβ high bloodpressure eyes and their hair combed back.
