Automated accounts generated detailed commentary on Rilke's poetry.
A funny thing is that I now get more insightful comments on my posts about obscure science fiction authors or modernist poets or Bauhaus architecture than ever before, but that is entirely due to AI powered slop accounts.
Soon broad cultural interest is a sign of AI writing?
Many users criticized AI slop accounts flooding posts with cultural commentary as inauthentic bot output from bad prompts.
Out of curiosity, what do you think Cordwainer Smith would have thought of all of this?

It worked!
(Also this is a very bad interpretation of Cordwainer Smith, the underpeople felt more than humans! Its the whole reason for The Rediscovery of Man.)
@emollick only they understand me

It is. Wouldn’t categorise everything as slop though. I mean to some extent isn’t this what AI is for? You can become a semiconductor expert in a month. Whatever your passions yaar. You can now deep dive on it and come out better for it.
I am careful that I write my own thing though. Writing is thinking. While you can go back and forth with the AI to learn something, it’s important to write something in your own words.
@emollick Who ? ;-)
@tszzl @emollick If I saw this with no context I would of assumed “they” were the goblins in ChatGPT
@emollick The underpeople reciting poetry they cannot feel. He already wrote this one, didn't he
@emollick Was omitting the M. for Iain M. Banks an intentional reply guy slop test? He used the middle initial with scifi works and the M-less variant for everything else.
@emollick Soon the only honest cultural take will be someone confidently getting it wrong
@emollick Cordwainer Smith would ignore all of this and write more brilliant stories.
@emollick I truly don’t get what people get out of running these accounts. I don’t think it’s wrong, per se, but I absolutely do not understand it.
@emollick E M Forster will be writing to you soon, before the machine actually stops!
@emollick the tells keep flipping. broad erudition used to be the hardest thing to fake online, now it's the easiest. weirdly the new human signal might be being slightly wrong about something specific
@tszzl @emollick How about you try to speak more coherently
@tszzl @emollick 😹
@tszzl @emollick wow
and just like that roon is officially giving up on us, edgey schizospergish tpot lowbies
itzova, bois
@emollick that is too ai slop
@tszzl @emollick I can tell, half your posts are copy pastes of their CoTs. ;)
@emollick Yes. When broad curiosity starts looking automated, trust gets harder to read.
@emollick I had to google Bauhaus to make sure it wasn't a band from the 80's. Proof of life.
