It steals from other authors, routinely gets major facts wrong, hallucinates sources, and generally makes the prose flat and boring as hell. And if you shill for it in my mentions, I'll block you.

En 1976 Carlos Andrés Pérez lo nacionalizó en defensa de la soberanía económica👇

- That somehow someone at the UN is able to make and post and AI generated video including a false testimony from a rape and war without anyone realizing how wrong that is until The Guardian approached for comment. just shows how acritically people are adopting AI as a tool. It's devastating.
- AI-generated images of extreme poverty, children and sexual violence survivors are flooding stock photo sites and increasingly being used by leading health NGOs, according to global health professionals who have voiced concern over a new era of “poverty porn”. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

CañadaBest metaphor I've heard is that using AI is like bringing a forklift to lift the weights at the gym. The point is to build YOUR muscles, not to make the weights go up and down.
- Reposted by Jose A. CañadaThis IS a great metaphor! #AI is akin to outsourcing your brain to a 5-year-old on acid. It doesn't know a lot, and what it does know comes out like gibberish.

- Reposted by Jose A. CañadaHe visto llamar a la IA gen "amianto digital". Como el amianto, parecía útil y lo metieron en todas partes, hasta que se comprobó que envenena todo lo que toca... y eliminarlo es tan complicado y caro que costará más que el supuesto ahorro que prometía. Limpiar el fango IA de la red va a ser jodido.
