Sounds more like something they accidentally opted into

[–] rational_lib@lemmy.world 19 points 4 hours ago (4 children)

It feels like every CEO on earth thinks they need to adopt AI or fall behind, but they have no idea what to use AI for so they're just ramming it into use cases that no one asked for.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 15 minutes ago

I was sitting in a meeting yesterday that basically was exactly this.

So yes. very much.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 hour ago

This is hardly the first, and definitely not the last corporate fad. We should have just about finished moving everything to the block chain by now.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 1 hour ago

Because the places that already had AI before the recent surge just called it something else.

It's almost as if CEOs are just regular schmucks that fall prey to BS advertising.

[–] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

just ~~regular~~ spoiled and power-mad shmucks

FTFY. To call them "regular" belies the fact that suffusion of money and the power over the wellbeing of others has, universally, rotted their humanity from the inside out, making it impossible for them to even imagine


let alone successfully predict


what a "regular" shmuck would consider a reasonable use-case for AI.

[–] sturger@sh.itjust.works 2 points 44 minutes ago

Agreed. Overpaid, sociopathic and overly-powerful schmucks. But still schmucks.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 9 points 4 hours ago

That definitely needs to be a lawsuit against facebook/meta for the damage caused to the brand they're forcing ai slop onto.

Was at a whisky&rum fair a couple weeks ago. A bunch of brands had very AI looking designs on the bottles.

And that included Bottles of whisky that cost 200+ bucks.

I mean, who doesn't associate the name "whisky" with "woman in spacesuit tentacle porn" and "sexy woman santa"?

Exactly, except the company is Facebook fucking up the advertisements.

Also, art source (Bluesky)

[–] hark@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

You can tell that AI is a great technology by how much it's being forced into as many places as possible by the ones trying to sell it.

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not necessarily dead internet theory, but I hate how everything seems to be AI generated nowadays. In the past when you search for something you are likely to find an article or a post about it, now it is just AI generated slop.

[–] grainOfSalt@lemm.ee 3 points 1 hour ago

If you use an ad blocker, there are filters for ai slop such as https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 11 points 23 hours ago

I am just surprised people are still on Facebook. I deleted my account more than 10 years ago. Every other meta platform seems more popular like Instagram and Whatsapp.

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 55 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Look at how they massacred my boy

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)
[–] ThefuzzyFurryComrade@pawb.social 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Look at the mountains in the AI slop.

[–] rational_lib@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

If this is AI it's pretty good. These are the Flatirons in Boulder, CO.

That one is a real picture. They're saying to compare it to the AI massacre that dares call itself a mountain in the original post

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 38 points 1 day ago

Yeah they put a AI bot in my FB group whose first post was literally harmful information.

[–] limelight79@lemm.ee 43 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Facebook and AI..........make it make sense.

Now you've got Facebook making AI posts and images. And you can click on a post and it'll give you suggested AI-generated responses. Soon Facebook won't need us humans at all, it'll just be AIs interacting with each other.

What's the business plan for Meta with that strategy? You can't sell ads to AIs, I assume...How do they plan to make money?

[–] FearMeAndDecay@literature.cafe 2 points 3 hours ago

Didn’t zuck say recently that he’s gonna make ai friends for people bc most people want like 15 friends and only have like 2? So I’m assuming he’s just training the ais to make them more human sounding so that he can sell people friendship subscriptions

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They've been faking their userbase numbers for ages now. They don't care about actual user engagement.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 126 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (29 children)

Everyone hates AI. And yet big corps keep trying to cram it down our throats in all sorts of ways in a desperate attempt to justify the ungodly amounts of money they've sunk into it.

[–] XnxCuX@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

How are they supposed to fire us all if no ai?

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago

No. Not everyone hates AI. I hate the douche shit and I'm tired of being asked how AI fits into my products. But literally everyone I know uses chatgpt for work.

[–] Brandonazz@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The budget reconciliation bill has a line in it that will make regulating AI illegal for a decade. Presumably this will mean that if they cram AI into a product it gives it magical protection.

[–] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com 41 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

We have invested in this!

So sick of this environment killer software being crammed down everyone's throats because the sunken cost is too great (and political nastiness).

You are not interrupting the market, just the customer base.

[–] TheTurner@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

My work wants to use ai to make us more "efficient". They're hiring now based on how you respond to questions about AI. Like wtf.

Lol wtf Zuck?! I can't fucking believe how imbecilic these fucking corporate ghouls are.

[–] mriswith@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They "have" to put them to use, or they can't justify all the money they spent developing them. And they've realized that most people aren't interested, so they're starting to force it on people.

I'm pretty sure the dude in the blue tank top is the guy who killed Inigo Montoya's father.

[–] arkanoid@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 day ago

Thank you. I noticed he had six fingers on his right hand and thought..."someone's been looking for him."

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Would have been funnier if it were an ad for Bungie's Marathon...

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The girl on the left looks like Carmen Ibanez

Dystopian bullshit reflecting dystopian bullshit

[–] qqq@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I just watched that movie for the first time last night! Funny that it's referenced today, and you're right

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Surely, this is now grounds for Google and Meta to be broken up as anti-trust?
