I don’t understand when someone who is creative in one field uses AI to generate something in another field. Like, how would Rush feel if some visual artist used AI to make crummy knock-off Rush songs with their own art?

You know what, I had you tagged as ‘obnoxious’ in my Lemmy client (I don’t remember why) but I’m removing that tag now. Anyone who fights against AI slop is a-ok. :-)

Some made a nest in our gravel driveway a few years ago and were eating from the fig tree in our front yard. I borrowed a shop vac, put soapy water in it and then laid the nozzle next to the hole for an entire day. After I stopped seeing any I got boiling soapy water and poured it down the hole several times and what was left of the nest (and queen) came out. So many dead Yellowjackets!

Believe it or not, I still use it on Roku. When this TV dies I’m definitely getting a dumb TV and hooking up an HTPC or something, but for now the YouTube app on Roku works fine for the times we need it.

Edit: looks like it’s just adding an ‘ask’ button so sounds simple enough to ignore like all the other crap they shove in there.

Oh no, I love their articles.

Thanks! I just cross-posted from where I saw it.

This would be my first time going (if the weather holds) and yeah probably my my last.

Funny thing is, it was such a short email about the weather this weekend that it probably took them longer to write the prompt with all the specifics than if they just wrote the single paragraph themselves.

Interesting, I did the whole rigamarole about a year ago to downgrade to a non-AI version of Office (for a cheaper sub too), I wonder how this will impact that.

I have used FOSS alternatives in the past but seeing how I use Office apps at work it's just what I'm more familiar with. I'd like to move off of it but we are also sharing a family sub with some others.

ETA: Our current one is 365 Family Classic and so far it doesn't say anything is changing. Love how they don't advertise that option to new sign-ups, you literally have to agree to one of the slop tiers and then 'downgrade'.

Wait, she's HAPPY about this? I thought she was going to be horrified. 🤦‍♂️

This is awesome. My 8-yr old has started calling it out when he thinks he sees it. We've been explaining to him how bad and unreliable it is, and how it's not really 'AI' but just marketing. I think he's starting to get it.
