It can. You've gotta read between people's words.
Mostly, it just bothers me that the r/thathappened crowd spend so much time trying to get the upper hand on instagram influencers, and so little time actually engaging with the content.
You can make a point about how such and such behavior is just fine, actually, and it glances off their head like it were steel armor because the meme isn't real.
To clarify: By believable, I don't mean real. I mean not worthy of suspicion.
Okay, this does bother me because embellished? Sure. Made up? This is entirely believable.
Not to mention, this specific meme is ooold as fuuuck.
We don't have time for an interview through the McDonald's drive-thru, my friend; you're clogging up the line.
Ma'am, we have hotwheels or barbie, we can move this along as soon as you tell us which one you'd like.
The threat of AI is not that it will be more human than human. It is that it will become so ubiquitous that real people are hard to find.
I couldn't find many real people.
Are you sure that I'm real?
That's not what imaginative means.
If you'd like an example of AI being exceptionally boring to look at, though, peruse through any rule 34 site that has had its catalogue overrun with AI spam: an endless see of images that all have the same artstyle, the same color choices, the same perspective, the same poses, the same personality; a flipbook of allegedly different characters that all. look. fucking. identical.
I'm not joking: I was once so bored by the AI garbage presented to me, I actually just stopped jerking off.
If you people would do something interesting with your novelty toy, I would be like 10% less mad about it.
When I was in highschool, a student I was sat next to found out I was an athiest. He rotated a full 90 degrees in his chair at me, and with an excitement shared only by inventors and engineers finally getting to see their ideas actually working in the real world, he asked me: "Where did dirt come from?"
I told him, "I don't know what dirt is."
Quizzically, "Dirt. Like, in the ground."
I tapped my shoes on the floor. "Home Depot."
This was, apparently, as far as his anime-villain machinations could take him. He quietly rotated back to the table and drew a school bus or something—I don't remember what we were doing in art class.
Far from the worst encounter a person could have, but I think about it all the time.
The CIA will not allow me to answer this question.
However, I do have complementary Skittles.
Considering AI is really unlikeable, I don't think that'll be too hard.
I generated it, actually, and I put no time into it whatsoever.
Oh! It's so rare that someone is just like "I agree, thank you!" I'm sure you're doing all right.
