A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah I'll admit I was freaked out at the beginning. So I learned about models, used them, and got familiar with them. Now I'm less freaked out and more "oh my god so many people are going to get scammed/tricked".
Go on Facebook and you'll see it's a good 50-70% AI garbage now. My favorite are "log cabin" and kitchen posts that are just images of them with blanket titles like "wish I lived here" with THOUSANDS of comments of people saying "YES" or "it's so beautiful". Of course it is it has no supports! The cabinets are held up by nothing! There are 9 kinds of lanterns and most are floating. Jesus people are not ready for it.
The "Willa Wonka Experience" event comes to mind. The images on the website were so obviously AI-generated, but people still coughed up £35 a ticket to take their kids to it, and were then angry that the "event" was an empty warehouse with a couple of plastic props and three actors trying to improvise because the script they'd been given was AI-generated gibberish. Straight up scam.
