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.

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:

Next level CAPTCHA which AI engines fail at [Wayback/Archive] Basic Apple Guy on X: “Find the Mac Pro (5th anniversary edition) 🔍 1949 cheese graters, 1 of them is a Mac Pro”
The low res versions are impossible for me, and even the high-res picture is tough.
What is the smallest size you can find the Mac Pro? Picture on the right for reference.

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.

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

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?

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.

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