    I work in the voluntary sector, and someone asked me to make a poster for youth volunteering. When I asked for pics, they just wondered why I didn't just use AI image generation instead.
    I sat them down and showed them what AI produces: mutants with 12 fingers and fused hands, ranks of marching children dressed in military uniform or (and I think this one was thrown in to avoid any suggestion of racism...) images of black children wearing rags and carrying guns.

    After that, the person requesting the poster went away to try to find some real photos for me...:rollingeyes:

    While waiting to disembark, this morning, my son nudged me and gestured toward the driver in the car alongside us - casually sipping from a can of Stella.

    It's weird, but understandable, that the sound is more like shattering than a solid impact :rock:

    Apple is pulling its Apple Intelligence LLM-powered "summarisation" feature 'cos it libels people in hallucinated headlines.

    "So it can fix it, right?"

    Hah, no, there's no fixing it, that's literally what LLMs do. They're pulling it until they can make it opt-in and put big honkin' labels in place that warn you the "summary" might be complete horseapples, in the hope that's enough to stop 'em from being sued.

    I've just been reading that the latest update to Word for Mac has Copilot switched on by default.
    And if you turn it off, you get an "enable Copilot?" popup every time you start a new page! :wallbash:

    What part of FOAD do these dingleberries not understand?

    We've reached the part of the bubble where not enough people are paying for it, so now you're getting it whether you want it or not. Google is making all its Gemini stuff "free" by bundling it into Workspace and hiking the subscription price; Microsoft's doing the same with Office 365, although if you click around you can find a very well hidden opt-out which halves the monthly fee.

    Meanwhile, I've got a "Chat with Copilot" button at the top of GitHub which I can't turn off, a Gemini button in Gmail I ended up hiding with uBlock Origin, the right-hand most button in the Amazon app is now its own LLM chatbot - hell, even Just Eat has a dedicated LLM button now. Just Eat!

    And consumers are paying for the very expensive data centre costs with tiny benefits in the real world.
