You Are Consuming Automatically Computer Generated Content

[Castle2.0]

Some news articles, blog posts, product reviews, even YouTube videos.

There is already a cottage industry using AI/ML pulling Twitch vods from popular streamers to automatically create videos using other people's content to monetize on YouTube. Lots of data triggers to find highlights: volume level, Twitch chat (keywords, emojis, sentiment analysis), donations, viewer count, etc.

Clip it, throw in some premade transitions, grab music from Epidemic sound, grab a screenie (usually loudest 5-seconds of VOD, find best match for strong emotional expression), upload to YouTube via API, then...

Monetize.

i know :(

I noticed it too.

Thanks for writing this up.

Funny I noticed one of those videos yesterday. I was like "woah this is a seriously shit edit" with weird cuts and stuff. Scary

[Jibartik]

I remember reading that like a huge amount of news articles were auto generated like 10 years ago Im sure the auto generated news articles have covered that up though well enough by now.

I bet a kid could build a bot that reads reddit/new and just writes up chat bot articles based on the most upvoted links with a tutorial he learned from a youtube tutorial made by a bot.

OP spent an ungodly amount of hours collecting pixels in a video game to make a really stupid world record leveling claim that the entire community laughed at him for.

Hope this helps.

Sorry, you don't have pixels, or records, and you have over 1,000 posts on 2021 alone on forums. Enjoy your sad life.

^^ used a bot to create that one.

OP has autism

[starkind]

this is why i just read books for entertainment only now if they were in print before 1999 i think we are pretty safe

[Jibartik]

Considering most "writers" today consider a good character to be whatever twitter and china tells them a good character is.

I for one welcome these new robot overlords! Lets hope we can get a fresh story for once.

OP has autism



Being autistic means ur smart. P.s. don't make fun of autistic ppl. Ppl have eaten permabans across multiple accounts. So watch it.

Being autistic means ur smart. P.s. don't make fun of autistic ppl. Ppl have eaten permabans across multiple accounts. So watch it. Very true. Smartest guy I know has a postdoc in a very erudite field and has aspergers.

I have some pretty darn brilliant people in my family - not surprised if I am somewhere on the spectrum.

I have 100% classified myself as hypomanic. Thankfully, not many of the negative side effects and no bipolar / depression.

Just like you classified yourself as a record holder. Since it’s all self diagnosed it must be true! Funny how that works!

Ya, autism is a spectrum and aspergers is on the absolute highest functioning side of it. Meaning high functioning to the point where the person can even handle most social situations without difficulty or even without others being able to notice any possible social incongruences

A person functioning at a level below asperger’s would have noticeable issues in social situations. From assessing kids on the spectrum on this functioning level it’s usually quickly apparent that there’s something that’s just a little “off” in their communication style. It’s hard to describe, but sometimes they are just more intense, as if they are concentrating much harder on speaking than should be necessary. Other times they may make a comment that is too blunt or inappropriate for the conversation. Things like that

Then there is a low functioning side to autism. The lower the functioning level the more cognition will be effected, and the person will struggle with things like sudden change in routine and issues with stimuli/textures. The very lowest functioning have limited or no vocabulary and frequently engage in self-injurious behavior such as hitting self

So when someone uses the word “autism” no one really knows where on that spectrum there are picturing. How someone appears on each far end is like night and day different

It's not great that people like OP self-identify as autistic as a cheap road to intellectual clout online. Autism is awful.

It can be for some but not for everyone, it depends on how negatively impactful it is on their life. Someone with just aspergers (a term which never should have been taken out of the DSM because it was useful, but it was) can have a completely “normal” life, and most people wouldn’t even know they had unless the person told them

And there are some benefits to it, things like being able to dial in on a task and concentrate harder and longer than someone more “neurotypical” could. Also being able to retain larger amounts of details, things like that

I have a bigger issue with people proudly announcing specific negatives like depression or eating disorders, any mental health issue that could be recovered from in some way (meaning not something that will always require medication). It’s fine to accept and have the confidence to mention your challenges in life, but it is another thing to work something like that into your identity. As soon as you start incorporating it into your sense of self, you can inadvertently de-motivate yourself to recover from it. And especially if you start identifying with a community around it, now you really lose motivation to recover because recovering will mean losing the connection to your community and friends

Autism is fake and it's just nerds who have no respect for their parents.

I need not self-identify as neuroatypical to be perceived as intelligent, when I have you showing forth your ignorance in various conversations. You're like danny devito and I am Arnold.. the contrast is real.

Oh another thing I should have mentioned besides communication style that can be an indicator of someone’s level of functioning is ability to maintain eye contact. I’ve talked to some high functioning kids and adults on the spectrum where I’m thinking to myself “shit man, this guy (the vast majority of people on the spectrum are guys) maintains better eye contact than me….” Rating eye contact is part of the mental status exam

Kids who are lower functioning on the spectrum will avoid eye contact sometimes completely. This can be an indicator of other things though too. But regardless of the reason when I am talking to a kid that is avoiding eye contact I will always start doodling on my notes while talking with my eyes cast down most of the time seeming somewhat distracted to make them feel a bit less uncomfortable
