More tests with AI (CoinTalk related)

You should do either Doug or me, and do the picture generation as well. Both of us have posted photos of ourselves in the forum, wanna see if the AI catches it.

Cripes! More information than I need to know.....

 

The AI attempts kinda reminds me that they don't have their s**t together.

 

It's a much more serious problem than that. While the AI garbage is garbage, it's getting top billing and pushing aside the search results we've all depended on for decades.

I'm writing Google off and exploring alternatives...

Bing is not much better.

DuckDuckGo uses Bing's data but w/o the stochastic parrot garbage.

I was pointed at the paid service, Kagi, but warned it is either good or bad.

The web that we knew is dead, and there is no viable replacement.

The Faustian bargain between sites and search engines (we scrape you but we send you traffic) is gone.

Sites are seeing 50% down to 10% of the traffic they used to see. And that means advertising isn't viable.

No advertising and most sites just disappear.

Or they become AI generated bunk, feeding back into themselves. Amplifying stupidity.

 

That is certainly a big downside of all of this.

 

As far as an image, Google won't do it. Meta AI gave this-not great....

 

And a Dachshund needs to be added as well.

 

Corgi. Not a d-hound!!!!

 

It does seem like we're on the cusp of a frightening time, and not just for coin collecting. Scientific research is being killed off simultaneously with this AI generated garbage. I skip right over the "search assist" or "AI overview" stuff at the top of search results and go to the actual websites, but increasingly those websites read like they were also AI generated. Coin collecting might split off into a whole separate market for all this damaged coins as errors and "In Cod We Trust" and "no mint mark" garbage, but what happens when that becomes the bulk of the market? What's the difference between that unique, horribly damaged coin and an NFT or crypto blockchain, if AI says it's valuable and people believe it? Sigh.

Just now I asked Chat GPT "CoinTalk user kbbpll" and hahaha, it only pulled up examples from the NGC forum. "These examples show KBBPLL contributes both practical advice and personal anecdotes, reflecting both expertise and warmth." Cool! I'm on HAL's good side! For now... until I jeopardize the mission.

 

China, for one, is seriously stepping up. There are cultural issues in their research community, but now that we're pulling into the pits, I expect them to roar ahead even more productively.

 

I guess it's a good thing its training set didn't include any of my candid shots.

 

Mine says that I won the lottery??

 

After Windows forced an update last night, this garbage randomly popped up this morning. Check out the teeny tiny disclaimer at the bottom - "check for mistakes."
