Good. Fuck everything about Facebook and their advertising empire. Let it burn.

Hmm. On second thought, I'll fire up A1111 and start making fakes to fuel the fire.

Good is shortsighted. It will be here too eventually. Fuck Facebook, but hopefully we don't build a weapon that'll hurt us all, though in fully aware we have and are.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It is already here, half of the article thumbnails are already AI generated.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Yep, Lemmy is littered with AI art just like everywhere else and if people notice they sure aren't saying anything.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I notice and I think it's great

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Yeah, but these are accompanying text posts to give a visual. Thats different from using AI to copy art of people and flood the social media feeds. That I have not seen here yet.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Who's still using facebook? Oh. Morons. The people least capable of responding well to fake posts.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It's the normie trap. We made the mistake of letting normies in on our Internet and now we try to contain them on Facebook because they have ruined the Internet.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Too few people realize this is actually the source of all the world's current problems. We never, ever should have let the normies on here.

It's kinda strange, the Eternal September was before my time and now we have whole generations of even tech-affine people who never heard of usenet. Which btw just like email pre-dates the internet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Email predates WWW, it's fuzzier to determine if email is older than packet routed internet because both standards evolved in parallel so you have to pick and choose what counts on each end. First use of @ or creation of SMTP? First network with 3+ organizations or creation of TCP?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I'd actually date it back to UUCP and BBSes exchanging batches of messages once a day or so. The days of routing by bang path.

From post-truth to post-reality in just a few years. SMH.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 8 months ago (4 children)

its not stolen, its AI generated.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 8 months ago (12 children)

it's worse than that, the article talks about img2img using AI. so these click farms are ripping real images and using that as the img2img prompt

It's not stolen, it's 'stolen'.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

It is "stollen" and filled with marzipan

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (7 children)

AI trained on plagiarized art created by real humans who were not compensated for work that AI companies are now making money on.

Aka stealing

Nope they mean someone generated it then others stole it and are reusing it

Plot twist: comments are AI-generated too

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

What about the news article about the AI-generated comments about AI-generated images? Surely we can’t stop there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

That's way overkill. Just Markov chain it.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I mean my mom has been fooled by this sort of thing on email chains for over a decade.

A lot of people just want to believe this kind of stuff.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah, AI is a new twist here but the concept of misrepresenting images and stories for attention is ageless.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Let's just agree that everything is fake now. I'm not sure I'm real.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

That is a funny joke fellow human.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

People are stupid. Pics or it didn't happen is gonna have to be replaced.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

Welcome to the future.

Bots creating content for the enjoyment of other bots, while advertisers pay for it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Lemmys future if Threads is federated.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

I mean maybe! Legitimately worrying.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Reality is dead.

Or maybe it's still alive somewhere, but nobody can find or identify it anymore.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Fake political candidates incoming
