  • Google Serves AI Slop as Top Result for One of the Most Famous Paintings in History

  • it's pretty rich in history as a lot of famous (and not-so-famous) art can be; it tells you a lot about the people living during a period, what they thought about the world, how power worked etc.

    this is a very dismissive take on this form of art as a whole, and is the kind which really does help the techbros who think that this kind of work and effort could simple be replaced by machines

  • the world's most-used search engine prioritising an AI-generated slop version of a very famous painting is very much "technology news and articles" imo

  • ah strange, I thought it was just for the above filter - apologies, I guess that's the ignorance you get if you've dropped that $$$.

    I can give you the general vibe which is BIG CLAIMS in a presentation followed by every "partner" (Amazon, Google etc.) giving 404 statements that they had nothing to do with this and that it was against their ToS

    The piece from noodlejetski: https://lemmy.world/comment/12182781 gives you a previous iteration of this claim

    A bundle of people say they have a paywall but they don't, they have an AI-bot-wall which can be got around with a free account. I'd recommend it tbh because they are doing very good work.

    I pay the yearly subscription to support them as they are very much a rare entity in tech media: independent, reader-supported, and willing to ask difficult questions of tech companies, not fawn over their newest doodads.

  • You should read the 404 piece, it's considerably less sensational and doesn't flat lie in the headline. I hate Big Tech too, but this is very bad framing.
