In the Age of AI, Her Is a Fairy Talequote:When Spike Jonze’s Her came out in 2013, the film about a lonely man falling for an artificially intelligent operating system won widespread praise. Watching today, the qualities critics celebrated at the time are still there—it’s a gentle, enjoyably melancholy story, twee but not damnably so—but something else stands out. Though set in the near-future, Her captures Obama-era techno-optimism better than any other movie. It’s a time capsule, preserving dreams about the future that appear more naive the further we get from the 2010s.

Frosted Flake posted:So, this is like, writing copy based on how google sorts things? yes. the idea is trying to guess (if not outright knowing) what will shoot your website to the top for a given search, and squeezing in as many words to trigger the algorithm in that fashion the issue is that this is not succinct writing, nor is it even necessarily factually correct writing, and so training a model on this sort of thing leads to problems

Frosted Flake posted:So, this is like, writing copy based on how google sorts things? Right. The big companies that do this were producing almost unimaginable amounts of "content" even in the pre-generative AI days. LLMs have upended the entire thing at this point, but there were content mills out there producing literally thousands of human-written 500-1000 word blog posts every day. In a lot of cases, the intention was never even to have a human read these articles, although everyone plays the game of pretending that they're actually creating useful content. The ideal style tends to be as simple as possible with a lot of keyword rich phrases, but avoiding keyword stuffing, which is when you just repeat a single keyword or its synonyms over and over again. Find a local plumber or HVAC company with a website and look at any article on their blog and you'll find a good example of SEO drivel. There's a high likelihood that article (if it's not just AI- generated) was written by someone with zero domain knowledge or experience who had to put the whole thing together in 20 minutes or less for it to be monetarily worthwhile. This stuff is everywhere and it's clearly deeply embedded in all these models. It's been relatively well known in that space for years that companies like OpenAI were just directly paying content mills for this stuff, too. Pretty much paying gig economy writers to put themselves out of a job, but through at least one layer of indirection.
