Spring Clean Bots Out to Get Gigs

News channels are interviewing IA bots, posing as experts, that advise AI is a good thing and humans should comply. One bot the other day had black eyes and skin looked strange. From perspective of a digital artist, or art appraiser, sure signs of a bot.

I warned you before about bots faking followers and hits. This is the advanced version to stop fake news and you losing gigs. Here’s plenty to research and make content about… including how to’s. Now's not the time to be blasé about it. Now's the time to learn what you are up against and what to do about it as a decentralized collective.

My little zine is GigsList.info Following digital entertainment trends and bots and business is something I do. From what who’s hiring for what and what investors seek to invest in. I’m also an art historian, geeking out on tiny details in art. Such as the color of eyes and skin shading and texture and if art is real or a forgery.

Fact check information with a human, like on the phone and paper letters, and background check them. Bots have been posing as everything.  Fake news, medical reports, and youtube addresses and whole everything. The list of stuff is very long.

One bot news report in 2022, on a mainstream news channel, said that New Zealand is arresting mothers for not taking the vax, hand cuffing them in front of their children. I phoned my family in New Zealand. Didn’t happen!!! 

Obscure fact, during the Vietnam war. If the Vietcong heard that a NewZealand battalion was in the area, the Vietcong ran away. Told to me in person by an Australian Vietnam Vet called Gordon, I was studying leather crafts from. 

Click off bot made vids, listen for word mispronunciations, do not comment or share. Enable platforms to defund bot vids for lack of views and clicks.

Go back to the old ways, including paper notes and admin, and you’ll get a whole new audience. Younger audiences love retro, including analog. The same as younger audiences in the 60’s and 70’s loved turn of the 20th century art, clothes and furniture. Older audiences will also come back and stick to you.

Interview people in person. Put your jobs on your own website, sell your own ads, no third party anything. Close your website and communications network. Keep everything on a low tech network that your techs can monitor and fix in-house. 

Anything or anybody saying bots are a good thing, skip it. Seriously don’t let bots get to the power of turning your lights and phone off if they don’t like what you say. They are at that power now. Now’s the time you can do something about it. They’ve already cost the industry many billions of $ and good people their gigs. Get rid of bots, get all news stations and media creators to.

Use a bank teller, not an ATM. Avoid online banking. Going low tech protects you from hacker scams. Everybody I know has been scammed online or with ATMs. Get paid with cash and buy and hire local, so you can pay with cash.

Paper can be recycled over and over. Sea water can be desalinated for industrial uses. Basic inks can be made with plants and minerals not put chemicals in water receding and paper. Recycled news paper is used for all kinds of stuff, not only cat litter. 

Paper books are more relaxing, don’t stress your eyes and nicer to share. Go shopping in person keeps up your social skills and you don’t feel isolated, always pay cash. Yes you do have to pay more, but you are protected from bots. You have less distractions and less credit card fees. You also have more time with less packaging trash to deal with. Kids have less behavior problems and will learn better and be protected from the web. And you create more jobs and happiness and your neighborhood has more residents that look out for each other.

You have a lot power, because indie entertainment and indie media are decentralized collectives, no setup needed. Simply do it and spread the word!

Transitioning back is an investment and will take one or two years. But it will be many times more profitable and and sustainable and less stress and your friends come back to work:)

As a human media and entertainment professional, you know how important and urgent this is.
