“This flood of low-quality and fake content from AI is particularly affecting minor languages. AI acts as a type of hyper machine translation. These minor languages then become overwhelmed by AI translations and other fake AI content.”
Reading this with Danish-speaking eyes, I realised that this problem had never occurred to me. Hvor dejligt. A whole new consequence of contemporary AI to dislike.

@CiaraNi Interesting. Makes sense.

@CiaraNi There is a disturbing lack of reference to the human agency behind the grift. AI doesn't do anything autonomously; dishonest, amoral human beings use it to defraud others.

@CiaraNi Seriously recommend Gerry McGovern's '99th Day', and counting. Thanks for spreading

@inteddygence Agreed. I simply hadn't thought of this particular consquence, then it instantly made sense as as soon as I read this.

@SimonRoyHughes If you mean specifically here: this is just one passage. The book is constructively angry and clear about the humans on both sides of the AI equation. It names & shames the greedy people manipulating their way to money money money. It names and interviews and empathises with the ordinary people whose lives are being destroyed by data centres, AI, mineral mining etc.
If you mean generally: I agree. General conversations about AI need language that makes AI's human intent clear.

@martinwexford I've been recommending 99th Day too. I am particularly struck by how human-centred (for want of a better word) it is. The interviews with otherwise unheard-of and unheard people in different countries who have been given space to tell their stories. It makes sure we hear about the real and human consquences of mining, data centres, AI, etc., directly from the people affected.

@CiaraNi Already asked myself if LLM scrapers can filter out or distinguish their own generated content and what will happen if they don't. No surprise here, actually.
