Readit NewsI've seen an interesting behavior in India. If I ask someone on the street for directions, they will always give me an answer, even if they don't know. If they don't know, they'll make something up.
This was strange. I asked a lot of Indian people about it and they said that it has to do with "saving face". Saying "I don't know" is a disgraceful thing. So if someone does not know the answer, they make something up instead.
Have you seen this?
This behavior appears in software projects as well. It's difficult to work like this.
This reminds me of the time when I got lost when visiting LA about 20 year ago. Asked some guy on the street for help. He gave me directions as he was smirking at me. Turns out he pointed me in the opposite direction from where I was going to and most likely he was just being a dick.
I actually avoid most YouTube channels that upload too frequently. Especially with consistent schedules.
Even if I'm 100% certain it's not AI slop, it's still a very strong indicator that the videos are some kind of slop.
Content farms, whether AI generated or not their incentive is to pump out low quality high output. Most of their content even it involves a human narrator are heavily packed with AI generated media.
Sort by oldest. If the videos go back more than 3 years watch an old one. So many times the person narrating the old vids is nothing like the new vids and a dead ringer for AI. If the account is less than a year old, 100% AI.
New AI narration is a dead giveaway to us but many people can’t tell they’re not listening to a human. It is very concerning.
AI content including youtube videos, podcasta and such need a stamp that content was AI generated.
> if an image is of a real person
I am not sure I want an AI to be able to determine that though. Just consider me not-real.
How about don’t do that at all in digital public squares?
