Richard Stallman Can Explain to Oxford Artificial Intelligence Society Why LLM Slop is Not Artificial Intelligence and Why It Hurts Society
There's some "buzz" this week:
Richard Stallman's Oxford talk is scheduled or planned for this afternoon. In his "talks" page (personal Web site) he says: "The event will be hosted by the Oxford Artificial Intelligence Society and the Oxford Blockchain Society. We understand that the uses of computing can be unjust. Most do not realize that the mechanisms of computing can be unjust in other ways. If a program that the users do not control does your computing, it controls your computing. When servers that the users do not control do your computing, those servers control it. So don't entrust your own computing to a program that isn't libre or a server whose operator isn't a loyal friend. For your own computing, insted of a server that might mistreat you, use free software on your own computer."
It speaks of "Oxford Artificial Intelligence Society", so we can hope that Dr. Stallman will mention how so many things that are not Artificial Intelligence are wrongly described as such while they harm society. They even make false Stallmans.
We've meanwhile collected another 'crop' of LLM slop that damages GNU/Linux and facts.
Here's new FUD by LLM slop:
We covered other LLM slop about this same topic earlier this week. It's always pure slop, the people who press "publish" don't know what it says, they just saddle their slopfarms with junk to get scattered onto the Web.
Plagiarism and googlebombing:
100% nonsense.
More plagiarism by bots (based on originals):
Ditto.
More LLM slop today:
Those are 100% slop! Even the images! And that last one spreads the FUD we responded to earlier this week.
Slop promoted as "AI" is ruining the Web. We're all worse off for it. █
