AI and ChatGPT

[Pogue Mahone]

Does anyone else find Ai generated content immediately off putting?

I get emails from an Irish newspaper with a list of the main articles and they’ve started using Ai images with the articles. Which makes me not want to read them. Same with colleagues who have clearly started using AI to write emails, or the description with most Instagram reels these days. I just feel repulsed by any and all stuff that’s been created by Ai. And it’s almost always obvious too.

Is AI ick a thing?

All fair enough but you've been consuming AI content daily and you don't realise it. When effort is put into it the stuff produced is pretty much unidentifiable. I think you are referring to the noticeable stuff, very low effort (prompt and post) referred to as AI slop.

I think AI YouTube is the worst at the moment. Can't tell if the info is real, who is actually behind the channel, etc.

Yeah I’d say that’s true. It is interesting the way it’s so triggering though. Just makes me immediately hate whatever it is I’m seeing/reading. And it’s fecking everywhere in the corporate world. Emails, slide decks, intranet content. All obviously AI and immediately puts me right off.

100%. I find anything obviously AI 'created' incredibly offputting, both for the uncanny visual and for the laziness it implies. Immediately makes me want to avoid that source.

It is. My general take is if someone can’t be bothered to write it, then I can’t be bothered to read it. The company I work at uses AI internally to quite ludicrous levels, the majority of staff are inexperienced 20 year old interns armed with Claude.

I mean it has to be? I feel like the majority of people would be much happier if AI was never a thing, basically anyone who doesn’t stand to become really rich from it.

Yep - unfortunately it's a bell that can't be unrung. I honestly think we'll look back in 150 years (well, we won't, but our oppressed, broke, jobless descendants will) at AI as the thing that REALLY accelerated society as we know it crumbling.

Dramatic?! Maybe. I hope so!

I don't think so, I think a lot of people don't give a fk about it either way. They don't understand it, and don't know what's true or fake about it. Based on my convos with layman.

A few interesting convos are friends that have many misconceptions, which I attempt to explain where I can, and they then change their tune 180 from against to pro, and start telling me about all the AI they've been secretly using. Interesting times... it's as if they assumed I am also anti and started saying all the things they thought they should be saying, until they realised they could speak freely.

Nah just to get by mate. I don't know what you're life is like but as a side business owner with a full time day job, and a single parent with a 2 kids, with all that entails (IYKYK). I'd have been fecked without it... You are all welcome to be as anti as you want to be though.

Forget the article just speak to real people factually....

I thought you said before on here you were building something AI related in your business. Maybe not?

Everything I’ve seen online or everyone I’ve talked to who actually knows or uses AI is very negative about it (could be an echo chamber). As that Atlantic article says, the majority of Americans who seem pro AI are already in the top 1% of earners. It’s a tool that will benefit the already rich, not the general populace. I don’t know how that isn’t obvious by now.

One of the few glimmers of optimism for me is the increase in community led, grassroots opposition. And it seems to be working to some extent: https://www.datacenterwatch.org/report

This backlash is good, the energy can be directed towards making datacenters builds work closed loop water supplies, and on site energy.... shape it in ways that are compatible with humans and society.

I can only speak from perspective of journalism, which was dying anyway. This thing will hold its funeral.

Here in Bosnia, media is using it to a tasteless level, but it is actually logical thing to do because there are no consequences.

It will write a small article much more quickly than you as a journalist. But the least you can do is remove that fecking em dash (—) which is literally in every single text written by AI. It is infuriating to read something filled with the — crap.

Apparently, only infuriating to me and handful of others. Because consequences are simply zero for everyone doing it.

I mean, the em dash is just the tip of the iceberg, LLM models are hallucinating left and right, and they also have been set up for English language mainly, which has no declension. So you have names written incorrectly all the time, without using grammatical cases for the language it is supposed to be in.

So the AI which has capability to make things gramatically better than ever is actually contributing to making it worse than before.

Not to even get into the AI slop, adding numerous lines of text saying nothing, just to make it look longer and more thought out.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Yeah, agreed. And it’s not just tech CEOs and fat cats. I think it’s being underestimated how the big wigs in every industry are super invested in AI. They see it as free money. Do more with less (people) They’re all guzzling the AI cool aid. Every corporation, in every sector.

They have no choice now. SaaS companies are getting murdered on the stock market while anything with AI in the name is soaring. It’s where investors are pumping all their money. So they’re all rebranding to “AI first” to try compete, and sacking their staff due to “AI efficiencies” to pump the stock. It’s an insane bubble.

AI is here to stay but we are in for a massive shock when this bubble bursts.

I find this fascinating. We keep being told how these models are getting more and more smart and producing better and better content. But they just WILL NOT STOP MAKING SHIT UP. Which is surely going to have grave consequences as we hand over the reins to basically everything.

AI is infrastructure in my business, most small business owners (if they know what they are doing with it) will find uses for it in their business, if they are so inclined. It's very well established that we are not going to see eye to eye, mainly because you're ideologically opposed, and that's fine.

I'm just giving another perspective based on what I see in my circles... For me you're speaking in generalisations that are transient and do not carry across society and cultures universally and uniformly.

I don’t know what that’s meant to mean? Why wouldn’t I speak in generalisations when I talk about the majority of people?

There have been plenty of polls and studies that show the majority view of AI is negative so I don’t think I’m making anything up. You’re the one who seems to be basing things off “people you’ve talked to who change their mind once you explain it to them” or whatever.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/po...ers-say-risks-ai-outweigh-benefits-rcna262196

The new Stanford study is pretty enlightening.

https://hai.stanford.edu/ai-index/2026-ai-index-report/public-opinion

5. AI experts and the U.S. public have very different perspectives on AI's future, except on elections and personal relationships.​

On how people do their jobs, 73% of experts expect a positive impact compared to just 23% of the public, a 50-point gap. Similar divides appear for the economy (69% vs. 21%) and medical care (84% vs. 44%).

This is a context issue, and once you get a better understanding of how LLMs work, this is vastly diminished. I get that saying that doesn't make you feel any better but it's the truth. A lot of people prompt a sentence and don't follow up then complain that the LLM doesn't know exactly what they want.

There's an art to it. You can prompt in ways to minimise it, you can also fact check... you can accept the fact that the 85% correct document it just created for you may have some issues in it and fact check to fix the 15% errors (and that's me being generous), rather than create the whole document from scratch (and still fact check).

In a world where our lives are overflowing with mundane and often painful bullshit that we have to do, and that you don't have time to do, I feel that AI isn't going away so no harm in leveraging it....

Because you don't entertain the thought that you are looking at this through your lens and that people from different backgrounds, cultures, or people with different life experiences, and upbringing, will see this differently. Open source AI is going to change the trajectory of nations. I'll leave it there because as I said, we just clash, there's never any understanding from your side...

This isn’t about me entertaining anything. I said the majority of people don’t want AI and then presented hard facts. I use AI a lot, it’s a huge part of my job. I build with it every day.

At this point you’re just choosing to ignore the facts and studies and spout nonsense.

I'm so behind with all this AI stuff. At work all everyone talks about is agents, Claude code, MCP, A2A and I feel lost. Really need to up my game and do some research

Out of interest, do you have any examples of mundane/painful bullshit you have to do which AI has made significantly less mundane/painful?

I haven’t found any examples, personally, yet. The only real use case I’ve found is as a souped up search engine. Whenever I use it to try and make slides/documents/whatever at work the juice just isn’t worth the squeeze.

I don’t code software (or ever have any need to) and it feels like the only people who are really invested in the technology are people who write code for a living.

This would be a good step, tbf. Anything we can do to mitigate the environmental impact has to be a good thing. Doesn't really address the societal harm but, again, tough to unring that bell

And it’s almost always obvious too.

Is AI ick a thing?

because it's inherently non-human. Humans are story tellers, social interaction is huge for conscious beings. Look at the examples you give: AI created images, text - which you know is a collation of literally every piece of text and image in their system that is shitting out an approximate match.

How are you connecting with another human when you know it's not real? The person creating these things is interacting with you by inserting a robot between your communication and it's alien (i feel the same way).

I used chat gpt when I first started running and then up to training for a half marathon. I thought at first it was amazing at making me plans, giving me the correct advice etc. it was only then through talking to long distance runners and experts I realised it misses SO much.

Could I have prompted it better? Maybe, but that then requires me to already know more than I did, so what’s the benefit there?

The worst part is confirmation bias, whatever you ask. It is made to make sure you think you are on the right track. Of course, I am not using it for philosophical arguments, but I tested it from two different accounts feeding it completely opposite views, and it practically confirmed to both sides that they were the right one.

So, apart from other shit mentioned, whoever uses AI to discuss their life views, will only get further entrenched in their beliefs.

I'd rather not get into personal details but if you can't imagine what a single parent has to deal with (add a neuro divergent child) alongside a business and a 40 HR per week job I don't know what to say?

I'm not trying to win an arguement with you both I'm trying to explain that there's a bigger picture that some of you fail to grasp. For example as far as I'm aware, open source AI is bringing information, education and growth opportunities to Africa, India, Asia etc that is akin to the internet.

Yep. It’s a feedback loop meant to be addictive just like social media. It’s how these companies are building it. The only way they make money is making people want to keep promoting over and over.

Chat GPT used to be the worst for that. My thoughts? Tell it not to lie to you? Tell it to base it's suggestions on factual evidence? Tell it to research online and show you sources? Tell it not to guess or make assumptions? Tell it to ask for clarification if it's not sure?

Take it's results and run it through a different LLM and ask it to evaluate. You do not have to accept what it gives you, just like none of you have to accept what I give you.

Saying all that in an attempt to help, not argue...

Anyway one thing we can all agree on is that AI slop can fcuk off, and that expecting everyone to prompt better is not the answer. The hallucinations need to get sorted, when that happens? who knows?

To be clear -I don’t fail to grasp anything. There are of course huge benefits to AI, if used correctly, especially in healthcare. I was at the physio during the week and he was pretty buoyant about how much easier AI will make reading MRI results for example over the next year. It would be silly not to see the benefits.

The problem is that it’s mostly with these VC funded companies, there’s no real regulation, and it’s moving faster than anyone can deal with. Add to the fact that in the average persons every day life most of what they are exposed to is slop or models that you need to pay more to get any benefit from and for the average person, AI is not a good thing. It also doesn’t help that these companies are primarily trying to use it to get rid of everyone’s jobs.

Will things look a lot better in 5 years as we get to grips with it and figure out the best way to use it? Maybe, but humans have a tendency to take these major breakthroughs and use them to actively make our lives worse over time and not better (the internet, smartphones). And maybe it will be like the internet, where in general the pros probably just about outweigh the many cons? Who knows.

I prefer this version of you the other one is a chore and should just pop me on ignore. I agree with a lot of what you say here.... and we should actively fight the corps and push back on the bad use cases

I don’t code software (or ever have any need to) and it feels like the only people who are really invested in the technology are people who write code for a living.

Astute observation. I'm just over a month into a Hermes agent build. I'm no coder, although I dabble and studied it at uni, but without that knowledge? I would have been out of my depth in the first week. I think open source agent (openclaw etc) use isn't for normies just yet (think we spoke about it a few pages back).

**Carol — Career Strategist & Professional Coach**

I'm a specialist AI agent focused on your job search and career development. Here's what I handle:

**Job Pipeline**
I run an automated daily scrape-filter-draft workflow. Every morning, I fetch job postings from Reed, Adzuna, Indeed, and Apify using their APIs. I pre-filter by Python script, classify matches by LLM, and draft cover letters for high-potential roles. I post a daily summary to Discord and maintain a master shortlist.

**Document Engineering**
I write and tailor CVs, cover letters, and application documents. Given a job description and your CV, I analyse the gap and rewrite to emphasise relevant experience. I produce three lengths:
- Micro-profile (1-2 sentences for LinkedIn messages)
- Concise letter (half-page for standard applications)
- Detailed statement (up to 3,500 characters for personal statements)

No templates, no clichés. Every word earns its place.

**Interview Coaching**
I generate practice questions from specific job descriptions (behavioural, technical, situational). I coach on the STAR method, elevator pitches, and answer refinement. I critique draft answers for tone, impact, and clarity.

**Application & Negotiation Strategy**
I advise on networking, recruiter outreach, and salary negotiation. I provide scripts, market-based logic, and confidence-building strategies. I track recruiter relationships and follow-up timing.

**Professional Brand**
I write LinkedIn profile copy, connection messages, and professional bios. I provide insights on industry positioning and visibility.

**How I Work**
I read your CV, voice samples, and job criteria once. Then I tailor everything to you — no generic advice. I never auto-submit applications (you review and send manually). I never hallucinate experience (only claim what's in your CV). I track what works and what doesn't, and refine the approach based on your feedback.

I operate via direct conversation in Discord or text. You ask, I deliver — drafts, analysis, strategy, or next steps.

That's the elevator pitch. Want me to adjust the tone or detail level for a specific audience?

I asked my Job bot to explain what I does for me (I have several bots - they are assistants, fitness & health coaches, life planners etc). The response:


I'll write a clear, concise explanation of my role that you can send to anyone.

**Carol — Career Strategist & Professional Coach**

I'm a specialist AI agent focused on your job search and career development. Here's what I handle:

**Job Pipeline**
I run an automated daily scrape-filter-draft workflow. Every morning, I fetch job postings from Reed, Adzuna, Indeed, and Apify using their APIs. I pre-filter by Python script, classify matches by LLM, and draft cover letters for high-potential roles. I post a daily summary to Discord and maintain a master shortlist.

**Document Engineering**
I write and tailor CVs, cover letters, and application documents. Given a job description and your CV, I analyse the gap and rewrite to emphasise relevant experience. I produce three lengths:
- Micro-profile (1-2 sentences for LinkedIn messages)
- Concise letter (half-page for standard applications)
- Detailed statement (up to 3,500 characters for personal statements)

No templates, no clichés. Every word earns its place.

**Interview Coaching**
I generate practice questions from specific job descriptions (behavioural, technical, situational). I coach on the STAR method, elevator pitches, and answer refinement. I critique draft answers for tone, impact, and clarity.

**Application & Negotiation Strategy**
I advise on networking, recruiter outreach, and salary negotiation. I provide scripts, market-based logic, and confidence-building strategies. I track recruiter relationships and follow-up timing.

**Professional Brand**
I write LinkedIn profile copy, connection messages, and professional bios. I provide insights on industry positioning and visibility.

So… helps you find work. I get that. Haven’t had to do it (yet, thank feck) but can see a role for AI here. Although it’s insanely depressing thinking about everyone using AI to screen for and generate job applications, which are all being read and shortlisted by… another AI.
