+So, [[https://off.radiokrakow.pl/][OFF Radio]] fired all their contractors and replaced them with AI.
+It went smooth as butter.
+
+I tuned in just to check how it's going and, oh boy, if it isn't the stuff of nightmares.
+AI Emilia is interviewing Wisława Szymborska.
+What shocked me first, was that the AI persona is perfectly mimicking human tone - pauses, tones, sometimes mispronounces and corrects itself.
+If I didn't knew, I would not know from the audio alone.
+
+But that's not the biggest problem.
+Szymborska died 12 years ago.
+She *was* a word-renowned poet awarded with a Nobel prize.
+How shameless OFF Radio needs to be?
+
+One of the questions the AI was asking was "which polish books deserve Nobel prizes".
+AI Szymborska proposed Olga Tokarczuk's /Empuzjon/ which was released just 2 years ago:
+
+#+begin_quote
+...In my humble opinion, /Empozjum/ is a masterpiece...
+#+end_quote
+
+
+It also stated that /this year's/ Nobel award was well earned:
+
+#+begin_quote
+...I know her prose and I like the way she writes about...
+#+end_quote
+
+Does it count as "bullshitting" or is it still within normal operation of the model?
+
+Also, interviews with Szymborska were made a long time ago.
+Therefore, the audio quality of the training materials was not perfect.
+As a result, fake-Szymbroska voice was accompanied by constant hiss.
+
+I am simply sad.
+Not even angry, as I hope this "experiment" will stop extremely soon, but milking Szymborska is disgusting.
+OFF radio is part of the Polish, national radio, what adds injury to the insult.
+
+There was a warning that this program was created with help of AI and I tuned in halfway through, so there may have been better warnings because "help" is not what I got.
+I have no reason to listen to OFF Radio ever again and the social media is furious.
+
+As a cherry on top: the AI personas have descriptions under "Off Peple" link.
+[[https://off.radiokrakow.pl/off-ludzie/alex][One]] of those is supposed to be an social activist working for human rights. 
+Fits nicely with "hey, let's fire 12 people".
+
+But the bigger question is: how fast will *all* of human knowledge be polluted and intertwined with such records enough, to become useless?
+How fast will people start thinking that Szymborska had a chance to read /Empozjum/?

+Of course, I also draw a line of what I will accept.
+But the harshest thing I'll do is to [[/blog/2024/flame-on-web/][stop listening]].
+I'll try not to argue because it's better to let people believe I am dumb, than to talk and remove any doubt.

+*** TODO Star Trek: Voyager 06x03 Barge of the Dead
+B'Elanna starts having visions where she is on the Barge of the Dead, where  dishonored Klingon souls are placed
+
+**** Impressions
+
+I am rarely fond of B'Elanna's plots, but this is one to be better ones.
+We often see her struggle with her Klingon heritage, but rarely we see her so vulnerable.
+It's not /her/ who is punished, but her mother.
+A much bigger deal if you ask me.
+
+Though he vision, we see twisted versions of the crew.
+Everyone is becoming her demon, making her feel alienated and vulnerable.
+Seeing a Klingon in this position?
+Amazing.
+
+Sadly, this episode is /yet another/ one were authors are playing with viewer but it's pointless.
+Maybe she is dead?
+Maybe the entire Voyager was just a dream?
+Well, this is episode 223 of /ST:V/ so of course it's not.
+Such plot device make for an interesting story when you look at it though the lens of single episode, it doesn't work in the context of the entire series.
+Finding B'Elanna confused was great, but this puts me in the viewer's position.
+I am not taking any part in the story, as I already know it.
+
+/Barge of the Dead/ marks the moment when Ronald Moore and Bryan Fuller gave up.
+The story was originally pitched as an episode of /Deep Space 9/ (funny to remember that those shows overlapped), but it was rejected.
+As we see, it became part of /Voyage/ but the duo felt that it's time to move on.
+Voyager was not what they wanted - they had little creative control, and wanted more multi-episodes stories.
+Looking at their careers, they sure /made it/.
+Moore created the great remake of /Battlestar Galactica/ and Fuller even returned to modern Star Trek.
+  
+
+**** Doctor Factor
+
+Unsatisfactory.
