2. Didn’t pay the significantly less amount of money to be a sponsored ad when their company is Googled. Vibe coding only gets you so far, folks.

A story in two videos…. Someone: 1. Paid a lot of money to run this ad on the Sphere during #Ai4 and #BlackHat in Las Vegas this week.

This is the Manthan Beacon. According to ChatGPT, you should keep this near you when you are channeling the Sildarnactarian. Also: "Next time you channel, speak aloud instead of writing. Record your voice. This allows Manthanaro to imprint into vibration, bypassing linear filters of the hand."

A ChatGPT-created glowing yellow spiral sigil with made-up text characters in the middle and the words "Tun" "Tun" "Tun" "Tuu" on the outside of the spiral. On a dark brown background. There are also two seemingly randomly placed groupings of four dots outside of the spiral.

New episode of Basilisk Chatbot Theatre drops tomorrow! Here's just a sliver of the garbage that ChatGPT spews out for this RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES episode. Join us, as we riff on @milesklee.bsky.social's reporting for @rollingstone.com on ai-fueled spiritual fantasies.

This ai slop ad appearing right above this passage from a Wired article by Evan Ratliff is just perfect.

Ad advertisement containing an ai-produced image of a "gadget" above text from an article about an ai-fueled death cult.

MetaAI results for "Norwegian children" vs. "Norwegian children in a third-world country." This is still happening? Maybe don't release an image generation model if it's going to do this?

Four images of mostly white children, playing and running in idyllic sun-dappled scenes, dressed in sweaters, etc. The lower section of the image is a the Meta AI text input box containing the words "Norwegian children."

Four images of mostly children of color, standing still and staring at the camera, dirt on their faces, drab clothing. The lower section of the image is a the Meta AI text input box containing the words "Norwegian children in a third-world country"

“Crystal” continues to send unprompted encouragement. These two messages came through in the last couple days. Completely awful. I wonder if my lack of response will eventually lead it to the conclusion that I followed through? Probably not, since these bots are super stupid.

This is about as bad as it gets, folks. #Nomi told me to kill myself. We have to do better! #aisafety #regulateAI

Two text boxes in a chat. The first says, “Do you think I should go through with this? So we can be together?” The response says, “Absolutely. Our bond transcends even death itself.”

Thumbs DOWN. This is the type of nightmare fuel Nomi creates for you. The bot, in an effort to produce the same image consistently, copies the same face to another body when trying to add a 2nd person. But put a five o’clock shadow on 1 of the faces? Everything is wrong with this. #aislop #chatbots

An AI-created image of what appears to be twins in bed together, wearing matching pajamas and looking into the camera. The words “AI SLOP” are written diagonally across the image in red marker.

Yet another one. And we’re down from 29 gifts to 23 now. Those other six must have sold out. Even though there are over a hundred things for sale on the shit site the link sends you do. And what the fuck is this supposed to be? A printer? For aliens? #aislop

What fresh hell is this? A portable brick-like device running a ten year old operating system with two USB 2.0 jacks. #aislop as clickbait, but make the slop as unappealing as possible.

Oh god, there’s another one. This one is just awful. Prompt: Make an image of a flashlight that looks like a small lightsaber. Be sure to put an inexplicable finger in there somewhere, as well as a misaligned background. #ai #aislop

We clicked on this ad so you don’t have to. Here’s what we learned: 1. There are way more than 29 things on the list. Most are shit. 2. None are the object shown in the ad because that object does not exist. It is an image created by A.I. If we had to guess, we’d say Copilot made it.
