I think this vastly overestimates the average person's ability to recognise or even care to recognise what is AI and what is not.

You've got all those videos on Facebook which are BLATANTLY AI and the comment section is split between "wow, amazing!" and "it's AI you fucking morons"

The latter will eventually leave the platform and the former will be all that's left.

And it is not going to take 10 years. It is right around the corner.

Then new people will grow up in an environment where its only the wow amazing people and they never hear from the its ai you moron people.

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

We're a dying breed. There are people alive today who will never know anything other than the post truth world.

Interesting times.

This guy bought so many rare monkey tokens. Ai is impressive in some aspects, but it's not nearly as impressive as the marketing that drives the massive amounts of investment into it.

The US economy is doing anything it can to create growth, which is causing investors to create a bubble around AI that is "too big to fail".

Part of the fun of watching stuff isn't because it "customised to me" it's sharing an experience with the creator(s) and friends, family etc.

I see genAI being used as a tool for creators but not as an automation of content creation.

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

AI would be chronically incapable of implementing actually surprising plot twists that are both unexpected and consistent with the rest of the plot (and not somehow someone back into existence). If it hadn't been written before, an AI would never make Darth Vader be Luke's father unless specifically prompted, at which point, why even.

This has already happened, many years ago. I know this because everyone but me is actually a highly sophisticated robot that resembles a member of my species. I'm onto you.

This is the bad place and everyone is a tortue demon. The worst version of The Truman Show.

When I was a kid I had a theory that I'm the only conscient being in the world, and that everyone is some sort of a robot.

I couldn't share it with anyone, because obviously no one was real but me.

He figured it out. Time to shut it down.

Jason figured it out? Man, this is a low one.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Finally. This iteration was starting to become weird anyway.

[-] Turret3857@infosec.pub 8 points 2 days ago

you can't trick me machine. You can't convince me I am the robot and you are the conscious. it can't be possible.

[-] halvar@lemy.lol 21 points 2 days ago

I personally doubt that will happen, since the current models require a lot of data to get better, something we actually don't have. The real danger is what happens once we figure out how to make models without an absurd amount of data.

As well as that, the internet is less reliable since there's a lot more botshit on it.

Reading this made my eye twitch.

[-] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Just the kind of anthropomorphism a bot with no eyes would use 🤔

[-] yournamehere@lemm.ee 11 points 2 days ago

email. gmail already summarizes every mail by default in the US. most emails are bot spam. ppl start using ai bots to answer emails. is that the internet of things?

Skynut is coming, in all its smutty glory and we can do nothing about it
