Is AI vulnerable to Internet Incest (II, pronounced 'Ai Ai') ?!

AI intelligence is the result of synthesizing billions of words generated by humans.
Now, with the help of humans, AI-generated text is accumulating on the internet!
And this text is not necessarily true intelligence! Therefore, further AI-collection
of internet text might become contaminated in a way akin to human incest.

Ai Yi Yi, Lucy!

"Testosterone levels ‘plummeting’ in young men due to porn consumption" (and social isolation)

Interesting expression, this "porn consumption"

In what way is porn consumed?
Would a New Porn Diet be a good thing or bad?
Would a Porn Farm be the way to change behavior?
Would a Porn-free Diet be porn-vegan or no-cost porn?

Re: https://www.everydayhealth.com/news/way ... tosterone/
"6 Ways You’re Ruining Your Testosterone"

This article doesn't mention porn but "sedentary lifestyle" seems the association.
However, porn consumption is not just a mental experience (so I've been told).

Maybe "internet porn" is just all the news 'n views about porn (or whatever).
AI might now help identify healthier porn (doesn't deplete testosterone,
but probably includes a DVD for an exercise bike workout).

However, "exercise bike" can be "porn" to a couch potato.
Now I'm inspired to check for ice cream sales (diet porn).

"Aliens have been on Earth for a long time and are still here"

The greater mystery is how/why space aliens and some humans created such conspiracy
that existence of the aliens "for a long time" has remained more secret than fact

Curiously, search for intelligence in the universe (SETI) continues
despite their claimed existence on the planet "for a long time". Some say
AI and modern technology can now simulate believable alien arrival.

"Is Twitter founder Jack Dorsey to blame for out-of-control tipflation?"

Obviously, tipping has been redefined in recent years to encompass a broader association
of service provided for customers. With this broader association, society is being prepared,
IMO, to accept that the who/what providing service - even indirectly - inherently deserves a tip.
The who/what could soon be robotic! - even vending machine (provides product and service).

Somehow, "tip" now has the aroma of woke Cost-Relative-Addon-Price.

"Did Google Create Sentient AI?" (3 hr interview)

Re: https://grammarist.com/usage/sentience-vs-sapience/

"Sentience means the ability to feel things, the ability to perceive things.
Any living thing that has some degree of consciousness is sentient, including insects,
lizards, dogs, dolphins and human beings. The word sentience is derived from
the Latin word sentientem, which means feeling."

"Sapience means the ability to think, the capacity for intelligence ..."

"Living things" is a good clue about AI sentience (which cannot exist):
Living things are not dependent on computers/networks and electricity for their existence.
Unlike AI, living things do not "reincarnate" once dead (AI returns to life with electricity).

Interestingly, despite AI not being sentient, a symbiotic relationship is beginning
(who now would give up their smartphone?). Humans have long given personality
to their favorite objects (e.g., from child's blankee to adult's car and boat).

If it looks like intelligence, speaks like intelligence,
and is all-knowing intelligence, it's Artificial Intelligence!
... since humans sometimes quack like a duck."

"Twilight star ... can no longer take her non-binary seven-year-old to Target after it moved Pride collection"

Such emotionalism on both sides of this conflict! However, a "Pride collection" in stores is very recent merchandising
How did parents and their young children shop in preceding decades? Apparently, many gender identities have long existed.

Best guess: Recent Pride protests and discussion have changed societal expectations.


Re: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/woke
"Woke - aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues"

Different definitions, some positive - some negative. Apparently,
negative definitions relate to what occurs with "active attentiveness".

... according to those critical of blatant sexual innuendo.

"20 of the world’s best nude beaches"

"there are more places than ever to sun, swim or build sandcastles au naturel at clothing-optional beaches on every continent. From rocky coastlines to talcum-powder fine sands, and big city bays to secluded shores, there are now hundreds of beaches where it’s perfectly legal (or at least de facto legal) to frolic beside the sea in nothing more than your birthday suit."

People who frequent these beaches quickly become philosophical, often winking "If you've seen one beach, you've seen them all!" Or they complain "Where's the refresment stand?" Then book readers soon oogle (or Google) text because "Nudity is revelatory - there's no cover to judge." Ultimately, they all agree "Birthday suits reveal your age, so those that still fit are best!"
