Microsoft uses plagiarized AI slop flowchart to explain how Github works, removes it after original creator calls it out: Careless, blatantly amateuristic, and lacking any ambition, to put it gently

I'm starting to feel ever more smug and comfy since I started converting my gut feeling about AI in the beginning, into an opinion based on myriad articles and discussion about how immoral, environmentally insane, and error-prone/dangerous it is when used in the wrong way.

Let us elevate "morged" as a verb to mean "got fubared because ai"

Second!

I came to the comments hoping to see "morged" adopted for this reason.
How should we say it in present tense? Morg or morge?
Personally, I'm voting "morg," with a hard g, because I think it sounds funnier.

"Hey boss, great news! I finished the project according to your instructions with the reversed arrow of time! I just un-merged the second and first commit and to ensure it stays at that state, I deleted all the backups, too! "

I'm beginning to understand why they're having so many problems with Windows 11.

We recently had a big day where we all gather at the organization I work at with presentations. I saw some AI graphics which is fine imo, but I also saw full COMPLETELY GENERATED slides. Nice background images, fine looking diagrams but with alien and fake text that got worse the more you stared 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮. It felt embarrassing and unprofessional.

my favorite part was where they said "it's morgin time" and continvoucly morged over everyone.
Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 164d
Or even "it was morgin timn", you know, since time is now timn and runs backwards
alfert@feddit.dk · 14 pts · 165d
Fun that they actually changed it to the original and gave him credit

That would entail giving credit to people who actually haved used their brain.
charonn0@startrek.website · 10 pts · 165d
Surprised the article didn't point out that the "Tim" axis is also pointing in the wrong direction.
Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de · 4 pts · 164d
And the exciting new mn ligature they introduced for Tim / Timn

Why aren't Ai companies required to show their training data and include the licenses with each piece?

Around the turn of the decade there was this big movement to rename the
masterbranch tomain. GitHub, too, made that switch and when you create a new repository the master branch is calledmain. The original flowchart was from 2010, when the main branch was still calledmaster, so it's calledmasterthere.The AI generated flowchart, of course, is not a plagiarism machine and it's exactly like a human being that is merely inspired by the source material. Surely it used the up-to-date name for that branch?

The image was licensed under creative Commons where they just need to give attributions .
The author even offered the download of the original keynote file, if someone wanted to edit the text or change something
But no, they had to crunch it with copilot with some prompt "make it enough different so that we don't need to give attribution"

Even the diagram this was
based uponplagiarized from is too complicated for most projects to be using.Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 164d
