#NotAI

@benroyce not AI ... so ur saying someone is just taking modelling pictures of their pet snail?

@Tesseks

unfortunately the world we now live in, the problem of #AI generated photo and video might be at one level, but the far worse level problem is that people now doubt *everything*, even the real

i think this knock-on effect is more insidious than the fake shit

@benroyce @Tesseks Yeah, I posted something about that recently, where my work has us running nature documentaries for atmosphere and two little kids came in automatically disbelieving the Australian animals as "SO Totally AI"!

@Ashmire @Tesseks

this is a form of #AI #brainrot that doesn't get as much press:

we all have biases

some take that so far they would rather reject evidence than reject their biases

we're drowning in the world in such people (the kids in your example are excused, but not adults)

by what method will someone reject evidence?

the old ways

but now: "So Totally AI!"

the new rallying cry of the pridefully ignorant

AI fakes are a problem, yes

but secondarily: doubting everything

far worse

@benroyce @Ashmire @Tesseks
I mean, I question everything including myself. Often I find the issue comes when you get too lazy to verify what the actual answer is. But it is nice when people let me know when I'm liking a non-AI photo - or when they let me know (nicely) that I just reacted to AI or a random bot online.

@Cassandra_Complex @Ashmire @Tesseks

it's going to become more difficult to tell AI from the real

😔

@benroyce @Ashmire @Tesseks
My personal goal is to make AI data centers so untenable that I don't have to worry about that.

Pop, you bastard of a bubble, pop!
