i did evaluate and read it myself, i still think it’s a net negative

because of all those secondary and greater issues, that leads me to further believe this study is bad because of what it has done to the conversation

I guess I’m failing to see how/why I or anyone else should really care about this study though? It seems like at a minimum a nothing burger that maybe hopefully will inspire or lead to more serious research?

it’s ironic how so many people have unintentionally and unconsciously let their hatred for AI completely warp and temporarily eliminate their capability for critical thought their intelligence, in the face of AI, just flies out the window and they get praise from their audience for it!

pretty much, confirmation bias is crazy strong

big big big accounts and influential people here on bluesky were uncritically sharing this slop study because it confirmed their lazy biases about AI and its users this stuff continually turns people into participants in uncoordinated and unintentional misinformation campaigns

i’ve been disappointed to see the number of people on bluesky sharing this study as if it isn’t complete & total bullshit what makes it worse is that so many of the people uncritically sharing this study were using it to call AI users stupid, when in reality *they* were being stupid for sharing it

the added benefit of issuing formal statements on discourse topics is i could just maintain a list of the formal statements and if anyone wants to know my position they can go look it up on my website

this is actually how this works, i’m sitting there staring at my phone until a like comes through and can’t really deviate or get distracted

I was simply trying to set the artist free. First.

54 minutes 10 seconds is the record on the attempts so far. The shortest attempts last less than a minute.

hehe yup!
