Fuck AI

This is why I immediately down vote and report any images posted to Lemmy.

Link to articles of credible sources, people. Fight the disinformation.

It is worse.

Information technology relies on using abstract symbols, like words or numbers. These are a product of evolution out of human language - the thing that ultimately makes us humans. Without language, we would not be able to organize collectively the way we do.

Words are essentially means for communicating what is in my mind to your mind. Words have a meaning. While we do have other means for communication and expression, like dance, music or art, words are what makes it possible to communicate thought.

For language, words, numbers, science to work, it is important that we keep the relationship between words and their meaning.

This is socially enforced: Nobody likes a liar.

This is also how our society works. Numbers on an banknote are not just numbers, they have a meaning. Fake the banknote and it has no value. The same can happen to words.

For AI systems and certain sociopathic people, words are just means to persuade humans to do what they want. They are not interested in a concept such as truth.

Maybe with all the social media bullshit platforms being flooded with more bullshit, people will turn to more traditional, trustworthy news and good journalism? Maybe? Please? who am I kidding...
