Disney Just Threw a Punch in a Major AI Fight

Michael Heat: The edition is therefore definitely at the top of the list of industries that have worried about the AI ​​plagiating the original work, and we all have to know it because we are all in the publishing industry. But then there is the content which is the opposite of a thoughtful work and made of man, and it is a Slol. The term is explained when you say it out loud, but let’s talk about what I have sold and why it seems to be everywhere.

Lauren Goode: I can take this one, but also, I want to send him back to Kate, because Kate, you are the queen of Ai Sold, and I do not mean that you generate him. I do not mean that it is part of your vector for creating personal content or what we call it, but you have written a lot. AI Sols is just low quality and poor quality AI content that appears online. This proliferates our food. It is often on social networks, but it is not only on social networks. He is now transmitted as legitimate, Cite-Unquote, “journalism”. For example, last month, the Sun-Totes Chicago and the Philadelphia Inquirer had both published these special sections by recommending summer reading lists, and the list included a bunch of invented books of authors, and these names and titles were thrown at random. Sols is not only invented stuff. I think it has a certain aesthetic. This is part of this growing trend in internet insonspective, of which Cory Doctorow spoke for Wire.com a few years ago and now I am only the term we use. It looks like spam, and sometimes it is easily recognizable and sometimes it is simply not.

Katie Drummond: So you want to say that the videos I see on Tiktok of Donald Trump and Jesus Christ walking on the beach are not real?

Lauren Goode: No, these are real.

Katie Drummond: Oh okay. It happens.

Lauren Goode: These have really arrived.

Katie Drummond: Oh okay. Because I have them all the favorable, because I want to see more. So these are. Got it. All right.

Lauren Goode: Yes, exactly. Same thing with JD Vance Breakdance with Pope Leo, these are real.

Katie Drummond: Oh, I have … yes, of course.

Lauren Goode: Yeah. Has not yet killed him.

Michael Heat: Many of these examples are funny or fun, but there are most serious. There were recently AI Sols that came out of current events in the Middle East, right?

Katie Drummond: Oh, of course. Yeah.

Michael Heat: And the politicians and the world leaders will retweet these things, even knowing that they are false, simply because it calls on their sensitivity and that it helps them disseminate the message they want to disseminate.

Katie Drummond: Oh, I make jokes when I am stressed and uncomfortable, and I would say that it is incredibly uncomfortable and stressful. I think you would all agree with being a journalist right now. Try to be the editor, let me tell you. And in fact, watching the soils proliferate on the internet, on all these platforms, sometimes be confused with factual information by consumers at the same time as we are in this very existential moment for news and the media. Once again, we are in an existential moment for news and the media, in many ways due to AI, because of the way Google changes their research, due to other ways in which AI changes the way people access information. The publishers are again mainly in the reticle of all this, and to add the insult to the wound, you then open Tiktok and Jesus and Donald Trump fishing, and it is as if it was everywhere. It is as if you surround you if you are a journalist because you feel the slope itself. You see what it does in the landscape of online information, then you knock your head against a brick wall because Google did this, this or the other with IA glimps, and all of a sudden I invent figures. I really invent figures, but all of a sudden, your research traffic is down 50%, and this has existential ramifications for publishers. There is also this strange thing that happens that attracted my attention, and Kate, you have reported, this is where the content generated by AI is actually as a functionality for certain websites and works really well for them. So Wired noted that more than 54% of publications in English longer on LinkedIn, everyone’s favorite social network, are probably generated by AI. Now LinkedIn said they were monitoring publications to identify low quality and repetitive content, but AI is probably really good in LinkedIn because generic and bland writing is somehow on what Linkedin is developing. I think it’s interesting. It is not necessarily a good thing, but it is just another indication of the way in which the omnipresent generative AI has become online.
