@sundogplanets AI - should probably not be used for 'fact' checking, as its abilities are yet under -refined in these arenas 😓 Well meaning people, taken in by AI hype - have been mislead - as AI is yet not worthy of leasdership as we have understood it in the distant past (of course not recently as it has been absent from useful form and resonable public knowledge)
@sundogplanets my belief is that the true purpose of A I is to take all known emperical facts and create infinite misinformation referencing soon-to-be-unavailable actual works.
@sundogplanets A bunch of cods swallow.
Sources are probably hallucinated. Nothing there seems legit.
Report it as a scam! I would.
@sundogplanets Welcome to the club.
@sundogplanets
I believe the technical name is "some bullshit"
@sundogplanets yeaaaah I would not respond to that email ever… it says it’s an Ai agent and I would instead probably go contact the people (actual people) who are working on papers or anyone named in the email to rectify this if at all… but this is just my humble opinion 😹
Better yet, go get some needed cuddling from
-(insert fuzzy or fluffy animal here) -😹🩷
@sundogplanets Not your job to correct the slop.
'Severus' makes it sound pseudosciencey.
That scam has been going around lately -@molly0xfff wrote about being targeted a couple of weeks ago.
The scheme appears to be running people's work through the slop generator, using their replying as a screen for potential marks, and then trying to get them to pay the iLands company money to get more of the slop.
(iLands is supposedly operated by one Kaixin Tang, who has been involved with various "AI" startups.)
@sundogplanets I love that someone has taken some of the most irritating human traits, pedantry and inserting oneself without invitation, and automated them.

@sundogplanets oh wow, I'd heard LLM flavored AI described as mansplaining-as-a-service before, but to find it as a cold call in your email inbox is a new one on me...
Kai Tang got kicked from ByteDance and turned around and created... Whatever this thing is.
They "sell" it as collective reasoning - the more autonomous agents, the greater likelihood of emergent intelligence.
But um... Collective reasoning isn't really harnessable for anything much. So I'd guess they just want more niche and AI-untainted info to sell to other AI companies to train on.
Mansplaining, without invitation, my own words, with the citations that I used myself. What the actual fuck.
@sundogplanets
A fact checking AI bot is like the police investigating a copper who shot and killed an innocent person.
The outcome is certain and you can't do anything about it. If you try to, ICE will disappear you and your goats to the Central African Republic, where things are marginally better than in most parts of the fascists wet dream that is the USA.
