“Hey if this is your flyer, I’m not going, I’m not donating, I’m not sharing. Don’t ask me.” Same goes for "AI"-generated title images etc. We Are Living in a ‘ChatGPT Flyer Pandemic’
AI Weekly's analysis
→
- 404 Media's Jason Koebler documents ChatGPT-designed flyers for surf lessons, skate shop closeouts, drug deliveries, World Cup parties, junk hauling and fundraisers.
- The shared look — bright text on dark backgrounds, generic icon boxes, decorative lines, arrows and checkmarks — has become so recognizable it reads as a template.
- A viral Threads post asking 'ain't nobody gonna address this ChatGPT flyer pandemic' has spread to Instagram and Facebook among designers, musicians and bar owners.

"The SpaceX IPO is great for Elon Musk and terrible for you - The biggest public offering ever is financial nihilism’s final form." The SpaceX IPO and the way it's being shoved into all indices to force ETFs etc zu buy SpaceX stock is criminal. People will lose their savings.
A court in Munich declared that Google is liable for their "AI summaries" and all its hallucinations. This brings "AI" slop in line with all other products: "AI" is basically the only product where a provider can deliver unchecked garbage and put all liability on the consumer.
AI Weekly's analysis
→
- Munich's Regional Court declared Google's AI Overviews its own speech, rejecting traditional search-engine hosting liability protections.
- Google's AI Overviews answered correctly around 91% of queries, but 56% of those correct answers couldn't be verified through the linked sources.
- Google confirmed it will appeal the ruling, which could set precedent for AI answer engines including ChatGPT and Perplexity across Europe.

The "AI Compass" is cute. But I am disappointed not to get put into the "Luddite" group. And I personally wouldn't have made an artist that went all in on NFTs the "patron saint" of "The Conscientious Objector" https://bambamramfan.github.io/ai-compass/

Recent commentary
"But you can't deny that it's useful" is what I hear often when I criticize "AI". But that's not the argument because everything is useful to someone for some purpose usually at someone's cost. "Child labor" is _useful_. Question is: Do the uses bring more social value than the cost?
Looked at the UN report on "AI" (written by a bunch of mostly computer scientists who to a large degree have close ties to big tech) and it's really bad. Just "AI" hype based on studies that are long shown to be garbage.
OpenAI wanting the US government to take 5% is not "democratization" or something, it's a bailout. OpenAI can't get the money from private investors or the stock market and needs the hole in their budget filled so they are trying to take US tax dollars.
> The use of AI Coding Assistants in software development is as of now widely regarded as industry best practice That is exactly why software development as an industry is such a shit show and explicitly not engineering.
I am increasingly leaning away from calling "AI" generated stuff "slop" towards calling it "corrosion". Because that's what it does. To our information landscape. To the quality of artifacts around us. To our social connections. To our mental health. To our cognitive abilities.
When you "break" the anti-AI software I have on my website that does not illustrate that the software doesn't work well enough: It shows that you are someone who explicitly circumvents people's stated values, preferences and borders. You are an abuser.
It's weird how every little automation is an "agent" these days. Weird LLM that tags your uploaded photo: Agent. A sequence of filters and pipes in a shell: Agent. Pre-saved prompt: Agent. "AI" burns through terms quicker than even crypto did.
Exports control on Anthropic's current model just shows what a dumb kind of suckers the US government is these days. They fell for Anthropic's false advertising and the ban just makes Anthropic's model look more capable than it is.
Just read that Estland is planning to give "AI"-Agents E-IDs comparable to the IDs people get. The fact that "AI" as a narrative is used to undermine human rights and dignity in order to allow even more creep of non-democratic technology into our lives is really undeniable these days.
Just occurred to me: When you _SEARCH_ you want to _FIND_ _AN EXISTING THING_. Like the idea of adding "generative" into that literally makes no sense.
