This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

in fact, this green text was made purely from asking chatgpt what ai will look like in 10 years

Unironically the best greentext I ever read was the bottomless pit one written by AI

That was like 3 years ago when generative AI was fun and whimsical

The last time I had fun with LLMs was back when GPT2 was cutting-edge, I fine-tuned GPT2-Medium on Twitch chat logs and it alternates between emote spam, complete incoherence, blatantly unhinged comments, and suspiciously normal ones. The bot is still in use as a toy, specifically because it's deranged and unpredictable. It's like a kaleidoscope for the slice of internet subculture it was trained on, much more fun than a plain flawless mirror.

yeah agreed! Back in the day I used to generate text for fun with n-grams and I never went higher than bigrams bc it was boring without those unexpected disfluencies. I thought of it being like an electric guitar, you want it to sound a little raw.

The first ai green texts made me laugh so much. They managed to perfectly capture the essence of a green text but because they were dumb they would create the most weird situations.

I think this vastly overestimates the average person's ability to recognise or even care to recognise what is AI and what is not.

You've got all those videos on Facebook which are BLATANTLY AI and the comment section is split between "wow, amazing!" and "it's AI you fucking morons"

The latter will eventually leave the platform and the former will be all that's left.

And it is not going to take 10 years. It is right around the corner.

Then new people will grow up in an environment where its only the wow amazing people and they never hear from the its ai you moron people.

We're a dying breed. There are people alive today who will never know anything other than the post truth world.

Interesting times.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 day ago

Scary times

This guy bought so many rare monkey tokens. Ai is impressive in some aspects, but it's not nearly as impressive as the marketing that drives the massive amounts of investment into it.

The US economy is doing anything it can to create growth, which is causing investors to create a bubble around AI that is "too big to fail".

Part of the fun of watching stuff isn't because it "customised to me" it's sharing an experience with the creator(s) and friends, family etc.

I see genAI being used as a tool for creators but not as an automation of content creation.

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

AI would be chronically incapable of implementing actually surprising plot twists that are both unexpected and consistent with the rest of the plot (and not somehow someone back into existence). If it hadn't been written before, an AI would never make Darth Vader be Luke's father unless specifically prompted, at which point, why even.

I don't think everyone is into that link tho (/j)

[–] ijedi1234@sh.itjust.works 33 points 2 days ago (2 children)

This has already happened, many years ago. I know this because everyone but me is actually a highly sophisticated robot that resembles a member of my species. I'm onto you.

This is the bad place and everyone is a tortue demon. The worst version of The Truman Show.

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

When I was a kid I had a theory that I'm the only conscient being in the world, and that everyone is some sort of a robot.

I couldn't share it with anyone, because obviously no one was real but me.

He figured it out. Time to shut it down.

Jason figured it out? Man, this is a low one.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Finally. This iteration was starting to become weird anyway.

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 8 points 2 days ago

you can't trick me machine. You can't convince me I am the robot and you are the conscious. it can't be possible.

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 21 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I personally doubt that will happen, since the current models require a lot of data to get better, something we actually don't have. The real danger is what happens once we figure out how to make models without an absurd amount of data.

As well as that, the internet is less reliable since there's a lot more botshit on it.

Reading this made my eye twitch.

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Just the kind of anthropomorphism a bot with no eyes would use 🤔

[–] yournamehere@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago

email. gmail already summarizes every mail by default in the US. most emails are bot spam. ppl start using ai bots to answer emails. is that the internet of things?

[–] WILSOOON@programming.dev 13 points 2 days ago

Skynut is coming, in all its smutty glory and we can do nothing about it

We should get polaroids and analog film again
