AI "slop" is burying actual food bloggers & recipe creators

Interesting, thank you.

AI is anything but intelligent.

it's not soup yet, and won't be soup for several decades yet - computer programmers are just not really that smart . . .

 

for folks using FireFox and DuckDuckGo as the default search engine, it is possible to disable the AI "Gross Misinformation Box."

(restart required . . . )

 

along the same lines, just tripped over a news bit . . . the Open Table reservation system is now interfacing with multiple resto Point of Purchase software packages, and can track what you ordered, how much you spent, how much you drank, whether you were late, on and on and on.

personally I always try to phone the resto direct and make reservations - saves them the commission, allows me to provide preferences . . .

but some restos make that essentially 'no longer possible'

I use Firefox and DuckDuckGo, but I find that DDG keeps turning the damned AI back on again (only as a suggestion, but it's mildly irritating).
