Ook Nederlandse web-pagina’s vervuilen met AI-gegenereerde pagina’s zoek-resultaten (en daarmee de AI generatoren)

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/04/22

Waar velen al over waarschuwden gebeurt ook in het Nederlandstalige gebied: AI-gegenereerde web-pagina’s komen hoog in de zoekresultaten en vervuilen daarmee Large Language Models van nieuwe AI-tools.

Voorbeelden die ik tegenkwam:

Ze zijn echt heel makkelijk te ontkrachten, ondanks dat de tekst er heel mooi en netjes uitziet: de inhoud klopt gewoon, en juist dat de tekst er zo mooi en netjes uitziet maakte het voor mij verdacht.

De eerste site is het oude domain van [Wayback/Archive] Baarnse Onafhankelijke Partij wat al heel snel na het opheffen van die partij (zie Baarnse Onafhankelijke Partij – Wikipedia) werd overgenomen.

De domains behoren beide tot SEO sites.

Queries die zowel laten zien hoe hoog sommige pagina’s komen als hoe eenvoudig hun inhoud te ontkrachten is:

OpenAI Researchers Find That Even the Best AI Is “Unable To Solve the Majority” of Coding Problems

[Wayback/Archive] OpenAI Researchers Find That Even the Best AI Is “Unable To Solve the Majority” of Coding Problems

Either Erik Meijer begs to differ, or this is sarcasm: [WaybackSave/Archive] Erik Meijer on X: “I don’t think many developers realized their white collar job could be implemented by a few hundred lines of JavaScript … plus a couple of billion floating point numbers. And we are only just beginning.”

Claude Code is a Beta product per Anthropic's Commercial Terms of Service.

It is part of [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – anthropics/claude-code: Claude Code is an agentic coding tool that lives in your terminal, understands your codebase, and helps you code faster by executing routine tasks, explaining complex code, and handling git workflows – all through natural language commands. for which you need to be aware of

Data collection, usage, and retention

When you use Claude Code, we collect feedback, which includes usage data (such as code acceptance or rejections), associated conversation data, and user feedback submitted via the /bug command.

ChatGPT is een soort waarzegger, die net iets vaker de waarheid vertelt | de Volkskrant

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/01/17

Een paar quotes van Laurens Verhagen’s column [Wayback/Archive] ChatGPT is een soort waarzegger, die net iets vaker de waarheid vertelt | de Volkskrant:

‘Mensen vrezen dat computers te slim worden en de wereld zullen overnemen, maar het echte probleem is dat ze te dom zijn en de wereld al hebben overgenomen.’ Deze vaak aangehaalde uitspraak van computerwetenschapper Pedro Domingos is al zo’n tien jaar oud, maar heeft nog niets aan actualiteit ingeboet.

ChatGPT in de basis is: een slimme woordvoorspeller.

Nog erger is misschien wel dat er bij Harper’s Bazaar blijkbaar niemand meer is die nog een boek leest. Ze zijn daar te druk met lijstjes maken aan de hand van chatbots, maar vooral met zichzelf in rap tempo overbodig te maken.

Dat laatste geldt natuurlijk voor iedereen die zwaar leunt op generative AI zonder veel moeite te steken in te verifiëren dat wat de woord- en beeldvoorspellers produceren klopt. Die moeite wordt steeds groter juist door de vervuiling van trainingsdata doordat AI trainingsmodellen niet kunnen onderscheiden of hun bron nu door mensen of door AI wordt gemaakt.

De trainingspool van menselijke data (feit of fictie – waaronder uiteraard satire, dat kunnen de modellen ook niet onderscheiden) – al dan niet uit materiaal dat zonder toestemming is opgenomen – is overigens inmiddels doodgebloed:

“Het had waar kunnen zijn” had van ChatGPT kunnen komen. Als die term faschineert, lees dan vooral [Wayback/Archive] Van Aarsvink tot Zeebreker – O.C. Hooymeijer.

VideoLAN on Twitter: “VLC automatic subtitles generation and translation based on local and open source AI models running on your machine working offline, and supporting numerous languages! Demo can be found on our #CES2025 booth in Eureka Park.” (video)

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/01/11

Weekend, so catching up on CES 2025 news.

If you are at CES, be sure to go visit the VideoLAN booth in Eureka Park to witness what I think is likely the most important CES 2025 AI news:

[Wayback/Archive] VideoLAN on X: “VLC automatic subtitles generation and translation based on local and open source AI models running on your machine working offline, and supporting numerous languages! Demo can be found on our #CES2025 booth in Eureka Park.”

In my opinion, though a remarkable statistic, their 6-billion downloads gimmick is just a teaser for the way more important news what this AI LLM is:

  • free / open-source
  • off-line
  • subtitles plus translations
  • 100 languages

Whisper already ran circles around the YouTube automatic subtitle generator, and their automatic translations are far below par (see video below), so having new contender is great!

VideoLAN tremendously raises the bar for all commercial vendors, and at the same time makes:

Famous AI Artist Says He’s Losing Millions of Dollars From People Stealing His Work

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/13

Using generative AI for your work can very likely result into your work not being copyrightable, at least in the USA: [Wayback/Archive] Famous AI Artist Says He’s Losing Millions of Dollars From People Stealing His Work

The guy who used Midjourney to create an award-winning piece of AI art demands copyright protections.

Now, in an ironic twist, Allen is upset that his work—which was created via a platform that’s been accused of ripping off countless copyrighted works—cannot, itself, be copyrighted, and is thus getting ripped off. In March of last year, the U.S. Copyright Office ruled that work derived from AI platforms “contained no human authorship” and therefore could not be extended copyright protections. Allen has been trying, since late 2022, to register his painting as a copyrighted work.

AI generates covertly racist decisions about people based on their dialect | Nature

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/10/17

LLM are just statistic text generators which depend on the texts they have been trained which and alleviating this usually makes things worse: [Wayback/Archive] AI generates covertly racist decisions about people based on their dialect | Nature

Related:

Of course these issues are not limited to natural language LLM: artificial computer language LLM are also full of training issues that are likely very hard to resolve. What if covert organisations succeed poisoning LLM platforms with malicious code?

Ian Brown: “Tired: “code generation” Wired…” – Mastodon

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/10/01

The term “prompt engineer” actually everything about programming that programming is about: it’s just trading a known output language with cleanly defined rules for an unknown country that assembles pieces of text based on statistics.

[Wayback/Archive] Ian Brown ☑️: “Tired: “code generation” Wired…” – Mastodon

Tired: “code generation”
Wired: “software-defined software”
