[–] Ghoelian@piefed.social 12 points 1 day ago (8 children) Smells like AI slop permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.social 12 points 1 day ago (6 children) It's a clickbaity website with lots of 3rd party scripts for that sweet Google money. That shit's existed for far longer than artificial unintelligence writing code. You could be right of course. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Ghoelian@piefed.social 7 points 1 day ago (2 children) What stood out to me more was just the design of the website. A human could have made it of course, but there's a lot of little design things you pretty much always see in LLM-generated websites. I did do some more searching before I posted that comment though. What I found way more damning, is what you see when clicking through to the parent company or something (they're not actually companies afaict, not sure what they are instead). The website of this Lazarus Library also heavily smells like AI slop to me. Searching the parent company listed on that website leads to a trademark for "PhotoOpAI". These are parts of their statements found here: Downloadable computer software using artificial intelligence (AI) for providing information (...) based upon a photo of the item or object Providing on-line non-downloadable software using artificial intelligence (AI) for use in taking photos of items and objects and providing information So they're definitely deep in the AI hole. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago good sleuthing permalink fedilink source parent [–] adarza@lemmy.ca 1 point 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) it is slop. the inspiration might be real but the sites are generated trash. i did the same thing. scroll down. project of 'lazarus library'. quick web search says they are 'PhotoOpAI' out of austin tx. another search says they have numerous similar sites pulling text from old books and wrapping it around clicks and ads. i quit digging when i saw they all used the same identifying tags when calling their ad/tracking scripts permalink fedilink source parent [–] petersr@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 child) Some signs: slightly weird phrasing some places. em-dashes But it is not glaringly obvious. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Dremor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* Em-dashes may simply be explained by the use of lexical correction tools, which also loves weird typographic like thoses. Same for weird phrasing, may be the result of anti-repetition rules. I personally uses Grammalecte, which is specifically tailored for the French language, and when I ask it to review a text, he often does those corrections if I do not first disable those rules. And that tools do not uses IA, it is 100% programmatic. permalink fedilink source parent [–] myyass@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago No glove, no love.
