so now this whole thing has ended up with me taking responsibility for cleaning up the mess made by the bot and applying human intelligence to the job. today i've discovered the bot didn't just invent stuff that didn't exist in the source, it also left out a lot of the source text.
found yet another chatGPT-invented entry from that botched translation today, this one had also been published.
i have initiated further clarification of our AI policy to keep this from happening again. my coworker who did this spent all day either unaware or pretending to be unaware he fucked up.

more fun with that chatgpt translation: turns out the bot invented a table entry in translation. that my coworkers added to our database and went ahead and published. i just discovered this now while doing human translation.
i'd be so embarrased if i'd been involved in letting this happen.

the last 2 years really decided to prove me right, didn't they.
none of the new years have been much of an improvement lately, i think we need to stop it with these new years until we can figure out how to make sure they're better than the previous ones, otherwise there's just no point.

jeg har vært på førerkortopplæring med 17-åringer i dag. de hadde spørsmål som "hva er en myk trafikant", "hva er tettbebygd strøk for noe" og "er det virkelig meningen at jeg skal måtte sjekke om medisinene mine er kompatible med å kjøre bil, og hvordan skal jeg liksom vite om de er det?"

kjempesmart hvordan de gjorde det obligatorisk med innlevering av klær/tekstiler til resirkulering og samtidig flyttet boksene for innlevering av klær/tekstiler til resirkulering en kilometer lenger bort og til steder der jeg aldri har noe ærend, i steder for rett utenfor den nærmeste matbutikken.

user of the day is reporting that the moon is in the wrong place. he tried calling NASA about it, but they're not answering the phone, possibly because our user called them in the middle of the night on a major holiday. either that or NASA just doesn't understand the urgency of the matter.

uh, is he compelled by law to remind us every time her name comes up that he was dating her when she was 18 and he was 52?
because i can't see why he'd keep repeatedly volunteering this information.

“It’s a bullshit grift bubble for software that’s not intelligent or even useful outside of very limited cases with small data sets that’s about to crash the economy, hopefully before it undoes every environmental gain of the last quarter century.”
Politics, football and movies are among the many topics that tend to come up around Thanksgiving.

We're talking about a technology where even the term used to describe it - 'AI' - is a lie used to convince people they're interacting with something that's actually sapient.

2 hours less of daylight per day only since the start of this month, another 45 minutes from now until solstice, and the sun is barely above the horizon even at noon. less than 6 hours of substandard daylight per day is not enough for someone who can't hibernate through it.

our editorial team is back from a big media conference and reporting on the happenings there. turns out everybody's fallen out of love with AI, having experienced how it keeps failing as a tool, not living up to expectations.
so now they're gonna pivot to video.

my grandpa and great grandpa were masons and this thing hurts me on a personal level.
also that spliced post on the left reminds me of my legs and spine (my legs are not the same length, so my spine curves like a sideways s and my leg/hip/shoulder joints are all wrong)
