AI makes it so easy to make accessible websites nowadays — look at this menu that it added!

Of course, it's not actually marked up as a menu. And the headings are images with purple-on-purple text and an empty alt attribute. And the browser's prefers-reduced-motion setting is ignored. And the only thing the "More contrast" checkbox does, is add a black border around this very menu. But otherwise it's very accessible, I'm sure.

SCMP: Journal defends work with fake AI citations after Hong Kong university launches probe

"...An academic journal that published a paper containing fictitious AI-generated references has said the work’s core conclusions remained valid despite “some mismatches and inaccuracies” with the citations...

at least 20 out of 61 references appear to be non-existent."

The @EUCommission wants to offer our digital privacy to slop-machine-makers on a silver platter!

Why are they forcing us to enable those who are harming so many of us? Do we really need more irresponsible and dangerous tech in our lives? And for what? So that the European Union can have their share of economic turmoil once this awful bubble bursts?

This is wrong, plain and simple!

@arstechnica

Did you have to do that? I forsee #LLMs (in addition to all the other problems they bring) now starting to emulate nazis and trolls to blend in and work around that detection.

I'm seriosly considering becoming Luddite at this point.

@9to5Mac 'and it brings a couple of small user-facing features, as well as groundwork preparation for upcoming AI enhancements.' Even if #AI wasn't a GIANT scam (and #AppleIntelligence is one of the worst #LLMs I have EVER seen) they should be focused on fixing the bricking computers. That should be their number one priority. Nothing else is more important. Does #Apple even care about customers any more?
