So how many ChatGPT 4s have they precariously stacked up on top of each other this time?

A seemingly small detail that really bothers me about this story is that those glorified chatbots were given backstories like they are actual humans - in their bios they have things like “an acoustics engineering student at AGH [local university]” or “passionate about queer issues”. And… can a chatbot have a student id? I somehow doubt that AGH has ever issued an id for a bot. Can a chatbot be “passionate” about real issues that real queer people face (especially in a country like Poland which, while it’s been getting better on LGBT+ rights, is still one of the worse places in the EU to be queer) and should it pretend like it has faced these things too? That seems like a horrible idea.

I got the testicle part :P it’s just that “piroshkis” doesn’t sound Polish at all, and since we’re talking about Poland… Even “pierogis”, with its unnecessary “s” would be better.

As a note, as this story is about a Polish radio station the word you’d want to use is “pierogi” or “pierożki”, no “s” at the end either.

A publically funded radiostation in my city has fired all of its hosts and replaced them with 3 AI “hosts” (non-English link).

They’re trying to defend this by saying that all of the hosts were just independent contractors and AI is not the main reason they’re firing them, and that the AI thing is just going to be “an experiment to appeal to Gen Z”. Fortunately, most people’s response seems to be “fuck off with this crap”.

I just… can’t with this. Even if they really were firing the hosts anyway (which is possible), I absolutely hate that they are using public money to run “experiments” with AI media. Heads should roll for this.
