The official Introduction to Github page included an AI-generated graphic with the phrase "continvoucly morged" on it, among other mistakes.

Satya wants us to get away from calling it slop for some reason

If the pattern is that each word is rewritten in a distorted but phonetically similar way:

continuously merged → continvoucly morged

Then applying the same playful distortion style to slop, a similar transformation would be:

slop → slofp

Thanks slofp-GPT.

I think throwing up a slop chart like this is incredibly lazy for a company to post. They almost always get something wrong or invent stuff.

If you are having a conversation with someone about a topic and need something kinda quick, and sorta accurate to help explain something in a pinch, slopcharts aren't useless. I've generated a couple based on niche manuals/handbooks. Probably better tools for the job, just the thing I happened to reach for.

Right, it's the lack of any double checking that's shocking. I use LLMs to make mermaid diagrams of code all the time, it's super useful, but you have to actually read through what it generates.

Charts are like almost the easiest kind of image to make. Why would you use AI for that?

sudoer777@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 198d

To fulfill their mandatory AI usage quota

Because it’s not efficient to make an image yourself. AI everything is the most efficient a company can be.

AI is great if you are lazy and don't care about accuracy at all.

Why forward instructions to an artist and wait when you can forward it to AI and get it instantly.

It would be very easy to make.... But not as easy as describing what you need to AI and clicking a button.

I consistently ask LLMs things that I could Google; it's just massively convenient.
