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.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 29 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] L_Acacia@lemmy.one 7 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 3 points 11 months ago

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

[-] teichflamme@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

I notice and I think it's great

[-] agimus@startrek.website 3 points 11 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.

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 34 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Etienne_Dahu@jlai.lu 33 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] andyburke@fedia.io 22 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] Meowoem@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

They were even worse before the internet, it's hard to deal with but this isn't even close to as bad as humanity has been.

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Why do you think they were worse before?

It seems like the Internet has allowed them to band together to reinforce and validate each other's stupidity. I think they're far bolder than before but I'm willing to change my mind.

[-] Meowoem@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Well mostly it comes from my memories of going to the pub before internet adoption was wide spread, Idiots were always the majority but you couldn't prove them wrong and it was difficult to find anyone that would dare express anything but the dumbest groupthink opinion. Like even as late as the start of the Iraq war the level of discourse was unimaginably dumb even compared to your average Facebook group today.

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.

[-] Natanael@slrpnk.net 1 points 11 months ago

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?

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

[-] Sorgan71@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago

its not stolen, its AI generated.

[-] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 31 points 11 months ago

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'.

[-] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

It is "stollen" and filled with marzipan

Plot twist: comments are AI-generated too

[-] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 months ago

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

[-] General_Effort@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

That's way overkill. Just Markov chain it.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 14 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] ElectricCattleman@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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

[-] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

That is a funny joke fellow human.

[-] ThePantser@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 10 points 11 months ago

Welcome to the future.

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

[-] Halcyon@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 11 months ago

Reality is dead.

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

[-] optissima@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago

Lemmys future if Threads is federated.

[-] pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

I mean maybe! Legitimately worrying.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Fake political candidates incoming
