In addition to polluting search results with garbage. Polluting AI answer services with twice-regurgitated AI garbage one of the worst things about the proliferation of AI text and images is how is has made me skeptical of the work of amateurs. Is their voice "stilted"?Is the writing repetitive?Are there little factual errors?Do they struggle to "get to the point?"Accusing a real person of being AI is so hurtful and rude, but also inevitable.

The reason I love the internet has always been the ability to connect with other people through our shared enthusiasm for learning, especially about obscure topics.

It warms my soul that there are people who *care* about obscure things. People who know every kind of lego brick, people who have studied the gaps between train arrival times. It's not *just* their expertise that I value it's THEM, the person! I love them. But, wasting that love on a decoy made to attract me for the purposes of marketing and SEO is an indignity I don't want to risk. So, I've become judgemental and cautions in exactly the way that might harm the very people I love.

"What kind of normal person would make these kinds of errors?" is a useful question but also a dangerous question. Especially if you value the very kind of abnormal people who might not make normal errors.

@futurebird I posted a photo I took last year and someone "well actually”’d me that it was obviously AI. First instinct was to defend myself, but I decided other people's doubt/obnoxiousness wasn't my responsibility.Last night wife was streaming a history program and the speaker sounded stilted, unnatural. "Is that AI?” I caught myself saying, then felt like I’d asked her to prove the worth of something she's enjoying.

@futurebird Yup. And when I select a video with wooden narration I’m immediately suspicious of that too. It’s especially bad with science videos that I have to vet channels carefully to make sure I’m not watching AI garbage.

@futurebird It also requires an impact assessment under the AI Act.
