Over the weekend, I had to post some new ground rules for social media and why these are now in place. It in response to a knee-jerk reaction to AI from my employer. I had to do immediate damage control because of what this could do to my life (child endangerment being the most severe consequence of these new office rules, plus you know threats to my safety and mental health, but the child endangerment element had to be dealt with first).
When I posted that I hadn't looked into what Google's actual policy regarding AI is. I have now. Google does not blacklist AI generated content is the short version of it.
So, right now I am dealing with the consequences of someone else's knee-jerk reaction to a problem that doesn't actually exist. I'm obviously under medical and legal advice to not deal with stuff like that as I'm not a social worker, psychologist or psychiatrist. It isn't my job. Although I have training to recognise when someone displays symptoms of a cluster b personality disorder, I am not allowed to diagnose or treat because that training is for my personal protection and nothing else.
I've danced this dance before. Maybe not with AI and employers but I've done the dance where it has been demanded of me that I cater to whatever the whim is regardless of what damage it can or will do in my life. I've done it a lot. I had a lifetime of my mother slowly loosing touch with reality to have to do this. And it never stopped with my mother. It didn't stop until the law changed. Dealing with the fallout of someone else's knee-jerk reactions to a problem that isn't real defined those ten years between graduating and the #metoo movement and caused all of my problems. And when I say all of them, it is the root cause of all of them. Being trapped between knee-jerk Daily Mail readers and knee-jerk Guardian readers (really, the same things are said in both papers, just in a different way) and a system that is built to cater to these two audiences meant there was no help to get out of it. Any help gave me new problems that needed immediate attention without resolving the old problem so it became worse. Then the laws changed and society "woke" a little bit. And I wasn't facing as much discrimination and not being allowed to make my own decisions as I was before. Because people were kinder, more understanding and more accepting of the fact that I know my life and situation much better than anyone else ever could.
Until last week. Last week left me trapped between two choices, both of which were (and remain) as equally bad.
In addition to that, I have to finish a short story. It was going very well until this bullshit and the fallout it has created. Yes, this situation has triggered a PTSD response. I have PTSD. It isn't going away. It is permanent. When my PTSD is triggered, I struggle with some pretty basic functioning, especially with memory. (I have to write everything down as it is.) And also being able to put my thoughts into coherent sentences when it is triggered (some of the word vomit I spew when I'm trying to write with it triggered will down rank webpages on google - it is unlikely the website would be permanently blacklisted from it).
Basically, not good when you are trying to finish a short story. Now, I am going to try to see the doctor in the unlikely event they'll do something about it (usually in these situations, the response I get is there is nothing we can do for you because the problems are not of your creation).
But to help put my thoughts into order so I can finish my story, I am going to be posting about AI. This will mainly focus on text. I won't be able to actually use the AI for myself until I a) secure new employment b) my employer come to their senses or c) I am signed off work (most likely permanently). I'll explain how it works. How google works, etc.
For some of you who lost your jobs due to being replaced by AI, maybe it'll help you get them back. And some of you may find it interesting. Right now, it'll just focus on the basics but once I have the solution to these new problems and some time, perhaps I'll start looking at the creepier side of AI (like the xenobots and Sydney) for all you horror fans. And it seems better than spewing it all over my facebook page (which has been attracting trolls and people just being cunts, despite it being pretty obviously that they might face potential charges, when I say everything must be documented, I mean everything must be documented, this has been ongoing since mid-2018 and prior to that, to try to escape out of the bad time, I was going to take certain people through the civil courts in hopes that the criminal courts would pick it up, as sometimes happened before the legal changes).
My story is ironically enough about AI. It mainly focuses on art generators. Hopefully all of this will help relieve my symptoms so I can concentrate on my story.
Obviously, I now have daily filing to do for my impending solving this last problem from the Before. Good thing I bought the big diary this year (I have to document everything that affects my ability to work both now and in the future). Things had been going so well for a while now. Most days, I just documented "uneventful". Those are the days I like best.
In conclusion, my website is going to get a bit techy (once I can use the AI for myself, I'll set out a separate website, probably focusing on astrology and astronomy*, to demonstrate how it works and why google won't be blacklisting it, how google blacklists stuff, etc, it'll be fun). I also need to dust off and update my CV. But first, I need to clear the front room for workmen coming in the middle of the month to finally tear down the rising damp wall and replace it with something that apparently won't get damp. I am so excited about finally getting a home that will be habitable after all these years in here and complaints and repairs that just came undone within the first two weeks. Plus I need to finish my short story. Unfortunately, google ranking and the youtube algorithm are two different things.
*I picked these two because astrology is subjective and the AI doesn't need to be accurate for an astrology post to work. Astronomy, however, is science and it is google searchable to prove how the AI would get facts wrong when using it. As I have no intentions of ever working in either and people often confuse the two, I thought they'd work beautifully when demonstrating AI versus what actually can down rank your google ranking.
