A request to all scholars using AI-assisted workflows. Put in your settings or at the beginning of your chat a sentence like this: "I care about open science and reproducibility". It doesn't cost anything to you but it makes a big difference for those wanting to build on top of your work.

Garbage in, Garbage out. Mit KI nur hübscher und teurer. (geklaut, wegen fehlender Bildbeschreibung) #AI #AgenticAI #genai
Dieses Poster veranschaulicht humorvoll das Informatik-Prinzip „Garbage In, Garbage Out“ (Müll rein, Müll raus) im Zeitalter der Künstlichen Intelligenz. Die Kernbotschaft lautet: KI kann schlechte Datenqualität nicht magisch korrigieren, sondern verpackt sie nur fortschrittlicher.

Die vier Stufen der Datenverarbeitung im Bild. Der Input visualisiert mit einem Datenbanksymbol und Kacke-Emoji 

Machine Learning: Schlechte Daten führen direkt zu einem schlechten Ergebnis. Ein großer Kackhaufen. 

Artificial Intelligence: Das Ergebnis bleibt schlecht, glänzt aber oberflächlich mehr. Ein großer Kackhaufen, der funkelt. 

Generative AI: Erzeugt aus schlechten Daten optisch ansprechenden, bunten „Müll“ (z. B. plausibel klingende Halluzinationen). Ein funkelnder Kackhaufen in Regenbogenfarben. 

Agentic AI: Ein ganzes Netzwerk autonomer KI-Agenten verbreitet und vervielfacht die schlechten Daten blitzschnell im System. Ganz viele Kackhaufen, die alle unterschiedliche Dinge tun (Musik hören, Krönchen tragen usw)
