@cstross on my rare exposure to the FB algo. feed, I see a long stream of heart-wrenching pleas for cats needing adoption, all matching a very standard and repetitive structure. I suspect the Cats are real and need help, but the pleas are "AI".
ActBlue (US Democratic political donation platform) suffered this even pre-LLM with its endless torrent of nearly identical begs for more money.
@cstross I find it hard not to wonder if the attraction of AI doesn't include so much forcible normalization of text that there is never anything unfamiliar, and thus never any reason to question a self-assessment of "smart".
(So much gets so messed up by mistaking responses for properties.)
