#ensloppification

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Carl_Zimmer/117345065655681591 Using AI for research in the natural sciences or math? This may help solving already well-defined problems, but more likely those anti-human bastards at #Anthropic and #OpenAI will steal your work and scoop you. The true victims: open-ended inquiry, robust knowledge of the world, and your academic career, if you're not playing along with the #ensloppification. This is not going to boost our intelligence, but destroy whatever is left of our grip on reality...

Let's take #windows11 as an example. I'd say its a victim of #ensloppification since #ai is the main contributor of making it worse and worse by forcing it into and even allow it to write code used in #windows. In other terms like privacy or performance it always was garbage by design, so hard to put it into #enshittification (making it worse there too to say) category. That said previously calling it a victim is quite an odd thing to say...

I believe we reached a point where it might be worth dividing between #enshittification and #ensloppification.
