Go outside and you won't have to ask.
Me going outside:

People are just as fake as AI
The animals and plants are pretty cool.
Some of them. I'm not a fan of poison ivy, or geese.
Or prion diseases or parasites that invade brains.
Very few things are as fake as AI... and my best guess is most of them frequent some national Congress building.
ai is false so much because it's just pulling all the nonsense garbage created by humans, and moreso corporations. it doesn't think, it just regurgitates garbage on the web and pushes it as factual.
all those meme images, and one liners and make believe stories that are just making fun or stuff when we (typically) know it's sarcasm/false etc.., yeah... ai don't care - that's just facts to it and presents it as such.
ai could have been amazing, if the internet wasn't riddled with jokes, memes, false info etc etc etc but here we are.
Hear that guys??? It's time to get serious! No more joking around!
So a jew, a catholic, and a muslim walk into a bar......and things were pretty akward from across the room.

There was a brief window before this mess where we used to be unsure if things were cake or not, I long for those simpler times.
The genie is out of the bottle, but at some point, LLM/image-gen providers are going to have to raise prices for their services. While this won't do anything to stop self-hosters, it might cut down on the number of casual users just a tiny bit. At least I hope it will!
Unfortunately realistic image gen can already be done locally on consumer hardware at the cost of additional rendering time. The cat is out of the bag. And while local video gen is pretty easy to spot, the models just keep getting faster and better at a scary rate.
Oh definitely. But setting up local solutions requires enough time, effort, know-how, and hardware that's getting more expensive by the minute, meaning that a lot of regular Joe & Jane Blows who got used to free ad-supported options or cheap pay-to-play services might drop out of the game.
Of course, anyone sufficiently motivated to generate images/video at scale is already building out their infrastructure regardless of cost since, presumably, they are going to be state-actors or mercenary influence operations.
I wonder where it would leave the millions of Facebook/Twitter social media engagement-farmers, once their marginal costs start to skyrocket.
The genie is out of the bottle
This is a lot more like Pandora's Box - all the evils have been let loose.
Do you really think there’s a 50 foot tall transparent cow out there?
Of course there's not a transparent cow out there. But there is a giant blue ox.
You know I used to think ai was pretty cool because I read a lot of sci-fi and in most sci-fi ai is a very useful tool but now that I've been living in reality for a good 2 years I've noticed that maybe this ai just isn't very nice. It's like that time I meet weird ai Yankovic and thought it was the real Weird Al but all he did was regurgitate edgy talking points and send me videos of giant boobed women dancing.
Needless to say, Bob Barker was pretty cool.
Ai IS cool. LLMs and ai art and most forms of generative ai ISN'T cool.
One of my favourite examples of ai being capable of doing good when it isn't being controlled by a trillion dollar bubble is alpha fold
You know I used to think ai was pretty cool because I read a lot of sci-fi
You read a lot of sci-fi and your conclusion was the AI is depicted as good????
Of course, who doesn't want their air supply cut off on a far away planet
Wait till your phone start generating fake photos of your past to gaslight you
Hell, any digital journals you keep could be a fake one replaced by AI
Wait are you saying i wasnt holding Flamin' Hot Cheetos™ right after my childs birth?
You weren't yet
Soon you will have been
There could be two major attacks.
First is pricing realism. Just like many pre-IPO products, it’s trying to gain interest. Someday, it has to make money, meaning everyone with a cheap/cheesy idea will need to pay for it.
The second is legislative attacks related to copyright infringement. I’d see it as a progressive legislator asking them for lists of permission from every image author they’ve grabbed from. Inevitably, they profess “We don’t have that!” And the model is blocked. Admittedly, that is not something I see happening soon, but it’s something to hope for.
This is why I accept everything as true.
Just turn away from your phone screen and go outside. There is an entire non-AI world to explore and steward.
I’ve been getting back into my favorite childhood TV shows and finding some good library books. No AI slop there. 🙂
I love the library too! I'm always happy when I'm in there.
Hard same. ❤️💕 I’ll support the public library any and every chance I get as long as they keep serving the public good.
Oh it's gonna be
Way i see it. If i can't tell, it don't matter
Just don't question it, why bother? :3
Chatters...
Then don't
