The supposedly greatest revolution since the invention of the internet turns out, upon closer inspection, to be primarily stock market and media hype. This supposedly useful technology is already littering numerous communication channels with meaningless plagiarism.
One thing must be said of the apologists of the latest doctrine of salvation from Silicon Valley: They have managed to convince almost the entire media public that they are selling giant plagiarism generators as innovations. millions of thefts The use of copyrighted works for the so-called “training” of digital meat grinders is either deliberately overlooked or downplayed as unavoidable collateral damage.
And the technology itself is in reality far less revolutionary than it is portrayed: “Artificial intelligence” is nothing other than a statistical probability calculatorThis allows existing texts, images and sounds to be rearranged in a way that at first glance (and for conventional plagiarism checks) they appear “new.” At second glance (and for current AI scanners), however, they quickly reveal themselves as – at best – poor imitations of existing works. AI texts often contain serious content errors, known in the industry as "hallucinations" known.
What may seem amusing in private use, assuming one finds the theft of intellectual property amusing, quickly spirals completely out of control in a company: As a communicative weapon of mass destruction, AI generators disrupt communication with employees and customers. Productivity gains? Only if reputational damage is declared a corporate goal. Added to this is the leak of confidential company data to the providers of large AI models, as well as even to other users.
This leaves the only halfway viable use case for the rightly hated chatbot. A company that hides its service employees behind such a robot, with snippets of frequently asked questions, will indeed save a lot of personnel. Within a few months, it can often even cease business operations entirely due to a lack of customers.
Thank you, technology of the century!
