+
+So, [OFF Radio](https://off.radiokrakow.pl/) 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:
+
+> ...In my humble opinion, _Empozjum_ is a masterpiece...
+
+It also stated that _this year's_ Nobel award was well earned:
+
+> ...I know her prose and I like the way she writes about...
+
+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.
+[One](https://off.radiokrakow.pl/off-ludzie/alex) 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_?
+
+(you can read the entire "interview" [online)](https://off.radiokrakow.pl/newsy/wislawa-szymborska-o-literackiej-nagrodzie-nobla-2024-i-literaturze-koreanskiej).

+
+I never understood those "my views do not represent my employer" marks, as they are as obvious as the color of aliens (gray, of course).
+Yet people state it as having any opinion on the web is dangerous.
+And I mean any, as someone may always it questionable.
+And loosing job, means of living over a stupid joke is terrible.
+We could have just left it where it was, but no.

+FLAME ON
+
+Personally, I hate putting people in boxes.
+I like some of what Drew DeVault does, but I do not support everything he stands for.
+I follow Lunduke's reports, but I don't approve of everything he says.
+I like Luke Smith's tutorials, but I also like roads.
+I am a member of FSF, but I do not approve of a lot of what Stallman promotes.
+None of this has ever stopped me from following trans people or self proclaimed communists.
+
+I try to not create a too narrow bubble where everyone is saying the same thing.
+From one side, this gives me a chance to be less of a moron.
+On the other, even if I hate what someone believes, I may enjoy what they say and do on (at least) some occasion.
+People are much more complex than any ideology, and this is what makes them interesting.
+
+Of course, I also draw a line of what I will accept.
+But the harshest thing I'll do is to [stop listening](/blog/2024/flame-on-web/).
+I'll try not to argue because it's better to let people believe I am dumb, than to talk and remove any doubt.
+I will certainly not try [ruin someone's life](/blog/2024/bsd-cafe/) because I disagree with some views.
+
+I wonder if this has anything to do with me growing in the 90s, the era of "diffent but equal"?
