Im sure the website that sold userdata to every single AI company to train their models on wouldn't ever even think of selling the faces of every one of its users to a company to train its AI face generator on.
Or that the website which accidentally admitted "the most reddit addicted city" is an air force base that hosts their online counterintelligence teams... Where was I going with this? Hmm must be nothing.
I love the conspiracy theory that it's Elgin Air Force Base, aka Area 51 version 2 .
Does it still count as a conspiracy theory if it's objectively true? Hahaha (oh god)
Social platforms are just data sources anyway. This is just another way of enriching the data.
Okay, but wouldn't it be kind of funny if every AI face generator suddenly started producing faces that look like Redditors?
Why does every generated face have a neckbeard and fedora?
I mean they already put Epstein and Kirk in there...
