Stop creating slop. The flood of poorly generated AI content threatens the data that future language models will rely on. If we keep producing this junk, the datasets used to train these models will get polluted, leading to lower quality and less reliable AI outputs. As these models gather data from the web, it's crucial they can tell the difference between valuable content and slop to maintain their integrity. None of us are innocent—we all need to take responsibility and produce higher-quality content to support better AI development. https://lnkd.in/ee_miQwp

I’m not in the loop of the latest AI gossip, but after encountering an article related to Gemini representing nazis as people of color, I just realized something obvious. The people who are scared of AI are constantly comparing their work against what AI can output. Which isn’t something I really get. Surely those same people are constantly comparing their work against other human work? And in doing so, learn something valuable? With respect to AI generated content, while the inspiration comes from other human labor, if there isn’t much to learn from it, then is it really that valuable? Similarly, can you really claim to feel threatened by something that can’t make a cultural judgment? Even more obvious, the only time I ever see people complain about AI generated content seems to be in the media these days. Or on Reddit. I still believe that we shouldn’t be trying to insert values into AI. AI should always be a tool for the expression of the human experience, whether you’re building an app to do a thing, or making art inspired by someone else’s work. The more we try to throw morality and ethics into a program, the more we’re trying to emulate some kind of human, or a collection of humans. While I hold my own set of beliefs and ethics in varying regards, I consider feeling “threatened” by AI in this respect. But then fall short of the experience of fear that some artists might feel purely because any output from AI in terms of ethics or values means nothing to me beyond what I can learn from it. Comparing the output of my brain to the output of a program is just too stupid and laughable to take seriously 😒 After all, generating text or images isn’t what we do. We interpret reality and then output our interpretation with practiced methods that are open to both rigidity and flexibility at a moments notice, and when we fall short, we learn to be better. AI by comparison needs an insane amount of handholding. So…if there are any real people feeling threatened by AI, just stahp it already 😄

Ever thought of AI as just another tool in the shed? 🔨 Well, imagine if your hammer started critiquing your choice of nails or decided to 'estimate' where you really wanted to hit! 😅 From sneaky data thefts to biases that might just 'accidentally' hit the wrong nail (or thumb), AI's quirks are... let's say, unique. Now, I'm all for embracing the new, but each tool should be wielded with care, right? 🛑 Especially the shiny, new, and sometimes overeager ones. While I'm not about to wave the 'Red Flag Act' and restrict access, maybe a sprinkle of skepticism and a dash of limited trust wouldn't go amiss. 🚩 In my opinion, AI's like that overenthusiastic friend who sometimes needs a gentle nudge (or a full-blown intervention) to stay on track. Let's love the potential but keep an eyebrow raised, shall we? Read more: https://bit.ly/3rhxYXB #AI #HammerTime #AIFuture #Technology #Tools

The Rise and Consequences of Low-Quality AI Content 💡 As we continue to push boundaries in #AI innovation, it's crucial that we address the growing issue of low-quality, artificially generated information. This content poses significant risks for individuals, businesses, and society as a whole. • Examples include fake news articles created by language models with no fact-checking. • Unreviewed AI-generated content is being shared online without proper vetting. 💡 Key takeaways: Language models have immense potential to transform industries but also pose significant risks if not used responsibly. Establishing guidelines for reviewing and verifying the accuracy of AI-generated output before sharing it with others can mitigate these risks. 🤔 What do you think? Should we adopt a more critical approach when evaluating AI-generated content?

Since AI isn't alive, sentient, or conscious in any way, it's up to the people making and using AI tools to be responsible. Here's how Australia's AI Ethics Principles act as a framework. #AI #ML #futurism #IntelligenceFactory #digitaltransformation #DX https://lnkd.in/gN2_zPi6

The edge of the "ethical frontier" of AI has yet to be reached. And in an increasingly AI-driven world, it's crucial to prioritize the responsible and ethical use of this transformative technology. The link below highlights the significance of transparency, accountability, and fairness in artificial intelligence: #AI #digitaltransformation

My latest article in AI Marketing Ethics Digest has been published. It's a delicious dive into the ethical costs of AI in marketing, including job displacement, devaluation of human creativity, content homogenization, and privacy and data ethics. "There is no single, definitive answer to the ethical questions raised by the increasing use of AI in marketing. We must all wrestle with these questions as we move forward." If you've studied the field of ethics (aka moral philosophy), you know this to be true. There often isn't a right or wrong answer, it's all about the lens we apply when considering ethical implications. As Socrates said: "There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance."

AI is everywhere today. You have probably heard that it is friend or foe. Maybe it is a little bit of both, but with the right cautions, it can be very helpful to your planning. https://bit.ly/3M8coM9

Artificial intelligence programs like ChatGPT can be asked to write text in many formats. Is it sensible to generate opinion pieces that aren't anybody's opinion? #AI #ML #futurism #IntelligenceFactory #digitaltransformation #DX https://lnkd.in/gjKt-Gpz
