There is No Such Thing as "AI Skills", "AI Competency", "AI Fluency" Etc.
Brainwashing by a Ponzi scheme's freeriders, misusing concepts such as "training" and "education"
Last year my mother told me that some friend recommended an "AI course". A bit shocked by this nonsense, I explained to her what that meant in practice. Mortified that the "populace" might express an opinion that's dissenting, the "AI daddies" and "monopoly bros" want us all to be entrapped in their gamified (addictive) social control media where we all prompt their word-spewing machines for superficial, bland statements that contain the masters' falsehoods (or deliberate distortion) of choice. Failing that, we'll just read what their bots have to say. Worst of both worlds.
This past weekend - as per our Daily Links - some slopfarms in India said that Microsoft's President had traveled to India to push his ridiculous (based on lies) Ponzi scheme under the guise of "education".
Of course they name-dropped "AI" a lot. Many articles were LLM slop.
What they mean to do, universally, is turn humans into slaves that prompt their "masters" for words. Depriving people of mouths or voices.
That's not a skill, it's an infantile capitulation.
Slop does not give anybody an advantage. It's a disempowering force which outsources thought and decision-making to sociopaths and hostile interests, just like social control media.
Slop is a "skill" in the same sense that cheating in exams with crib notes is a skill. There's nothing honourable to see here. █
