How many of these books will just be totally garbage nonsense just so they could fulfill a rearranged quota.
Now the LLM are filled with a good amount of nonsense.
Just use the llm to make the books that the llm then uses, what could go wrong?
It can only go right because corporations must be punished for trying to replace people with machines.
Jfc that’s gross
And they expect you to do this for free?
Do they not have to pay for the privilege? Or is this not referring to academic publishing? (It’s not super clear, but context indicates academic?)
If it is that makes it even worse. Academic publishers need to be abolished.
Nah, they get “Exposure”!
/s
Anyone who reviews for the major publishers is part of the problem.
For profit corporations don’t deserve your volunteer work.
Soylent Green is a lie anyway. Your need to “soylentify” half the population to feed the other half every year if it would be the only source of calories.
No, the point is that they’re just recycling the dissidents they were going to murder anyway.
Honestly sometimes I feel like I’m the only one on Lemmy who likes AI
AI as a technology is fascinating and can be extremely useful, especially in places like the medical field. AI as a product in its current state is nothing more than dystopian plagiarism.
AI absolutely has its benefits, but it’s impossible to deny the ethical dilemma in forcing writers to feed their work to a machine that will end up churning out a half assed version that also likely has some misinformation in it.
Remember! It’s not AI hallucinations, it’s simply bullshit!
And will likely take their professions
I don’t think so, at least for a little bit. Big cooperation will surely try to market it that way, but we’ve already seen how badly AI can shit the bed when it feeds on its own content
The trouble is that a fad doesn’t have to be functional to be used by short-sighted trend chasers as a justification to make cuts. How many jobs did we see outsourced to India in a way that didn’t even come close to matching the quality of the people laid off? The people who make the decision to replace jobs with ai systems will loudly declare success and move on to their next role before the long-term consequences are fully realized.
The company I work for recently rolled up copilot and is have been a mixed bag of reactions, the less savvy user were first blowed up by the demonstration but then got exasperated when it didn’t worked as they tough (one of them uploaded an excel file and asked to some analysis it couldn’t do, and came to me to complain about it), but for me, and my team had worked great. I’ve been uploading some of my python and SQL scripts and asking for refactoring and adding comments, or uploading my SQL script and some example I found on stackoverflow and asking for it to apply the example method on my script.
I say to everyone that if they don’t know shit, the AI isn’t not going to help a lot, but if you have at least the basic, the AI would help you.
I like AI. But I’m not sure I like the way we use it if it’s only to meet shareholders’ expectations or to be a tool for greedy people. What is your opinion concerning the way we seem to use AI in academic research?
