An unknown account posted this on my Facebook page yesterday. The account called itself "Historical" and gave no indication of intending to be satirical:
<<At the beginning of the 20th century, a Scottish farmer was returning home. Walking past the swamp, he suddenly heard a cry for help. The farmer ran to the sound and saw a boy trying to get out of the shack. The farmer quickly cut down the fat bitch, carefully approached and extended the branch to the drowning one. When the boy got out, he couldn't hold back his tears for a long time, he was trembling...
<< The boy thanked his saviour... And in the morning, the farmer saw that a carriage laden with high-breed grasshoppers approached his house. A well-dressed gentleman came out of the carriage and asked:
- Did you save my son's life yesterday?
“Yes, I am,” the farmer replied...
- Let's make it happen. I will take your son with me to London and pay for his education. If he is as noble as his father, then neither you nor I will regret this decision.
It's been a few years. The farmer's son graduated from school, then medical school, and soon his name became universally known as the name of the man who discovered penicillin. His name was Alexander Fleming...
Before the war, the son of the same gentleman was admitted to a London clinic with a severe form of pneumonia. What do you think saved his life this time? - Yes, penicillin, discovered by Alexander Fleming.
The name of the gentleman who educated Fleming was Randolph Churchill. And his son was named Winston Churchill, who later became Prime Minister of England.
Perhaps these were the events Winston Churchill recalled, saying: "What you do will come back to you.>>
This thing got Hearts and Thumbs-up and Cares. It must have been “Recommended for” me because The Robot saw from my postings that I’m a history buff.
But a lot of pretty smart people – I’m certain they are people, aren’t I? – often put stuff on my page. Wouldn’t some of these people notice that the man cut down the fat bitch to save Winston Churchill from the shack and yet this mystery lady hardly appears before she and her shack utterly vanish. But maybe it just slides by for many readers, we’re all so used to reading twice-chewed, illiterate slop. Now that I read this thing again I realize that I completely missed the high-breed grasshoppers.
I learned to read English way back in the day so I could see that this is Artificial Intelligence generated, machine-generated, nonsense. And I bet there are some other senior Hey-Boomers out there who can also read. But isn’t it the most amazing and disturbing thing that no human bothered to edit it before it was posted on my page on Facebook?
I have seen some trailers for the latest Disney movies and TV shows. Some of the dialogue sounds not unlike this nonsense about a fat bitch and high-breed grasshoppers. Some movie critics online have sometimes shyly suggested that maybe the plots or even the dialogue of such mega-flops as “She-Hulk” or “The Flash” were at least partly AI creations. It’s the weird inhumanity of it all. It’s disconnected from reality so completely that it doesn’t know that it’s disconnected – because there’s nobody there who could know anything.
How much Artificial Intelligence writing is being fed into popular media and then regurgitated, sucked up again, published again, put on scripts for actors to say … and no actual human beings even read the script before it’s read by an actor in front of a Green Screen. Nor, apparently, is the nonsensical disconnection of the scene discovered by an editor in post production. Personhood is missing in action.
Artificial Intelligence is getting better, so it tells us, and actual, human organic intelligence is getting more artificial – especially in Hollywood and Government and Digital Media. We Hey-Boomers used to say there were bad people in charge. But what happens if there’s NOBODY there at all? Do the buttons push themselves?
Get me OUTTA HERE!!
But you are Not Alone. These trolls and AI bots and assholes have been coming out of the woodwork for oh, maybe a month now? I still don't understand the "fat bitch" thing, but as a dog, and a female dog at that, I yam offendered. I can't tell you how many times I've been attacked, rather viciously at times, in the past two weeks.
See, they set up SS as a fly trap. We all flew in, some of us thinking it was "SAFE" and wonderful!!! But SS never was what it claimed to be. Subtle clues everywhere. They get us all relaxed and then bring in the Blue Meanies. Didn't you ever wonder about this?
So what happens? Maybe a lot more of what the Nasties actually DONUT WANT: We DO leave for much longer periods, we DO go out into the world, and we DO start organizing and doing Good Works in our communities, like we should anyway. Et Voila (not Eh Wala, ffs). We learn the art of sabotage and we take back our sovereignty. Easy Peasy. (No, I am being quite facetious, but basically, yeah.) And yeah, there will be a LOT of people who just go to some other platform, because they're ADDICTED. We all are, are we not? But fuck that. Because guess what. "They" WILL yank the whole schmear, sooner or later, and tell us we can only use our digital money for what THEY tell us, and the nine yards nobody will like. Might as well start weaning ourselves arf.
