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.
It is already here, half of the article thumbnails are already AI generated.
Yep, Lemmy is littered with AI art just like everywhere else and if people notice they sure aren’t saying anything.
I notice and I think it’s great
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.
Who’s still using facebook? Oh. Morons. The people least capable of responding well to fake posts.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Eternal September
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 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?
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.
Ah yes, there’s always someone shocked to find that there are actual users of a site that has been growing continuously for 15 years and reports over 3 billion MAU.
Your social circle is not the world.
You have 3 billion braincells that all tell you he is right though
You’re a mind reader now?
From post-truth to post-reality in just a few years. SMH.
its not stolen, its AI generated.
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’.
It is “stollen” and filled with marzipan
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
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
Nope they mean someone generated it then others stole it and are reusing it
Its not plagarism. Its not stealing either. Its training. The only artists who complain about this dont care about making art and are only concerned about making money.
The kool-aid is laced, kid. You should put it down.
When a robot replaces your job (or perhaps your friends or family) and you/they lose their way of earning money will your argument remain the same?
If AI/robots could give us the utopia from sci-fi books it’d be grand and I’d be inclined to agree with you. But they aren’t, no one is getting early retirement because a robot replaced them in a factory and artists aren’t getting residuals from the derivatives these “trainings” are creating. It’s theft, outright, and the thieves are trying to make money off these originals.
There’s a lot of whiny “artists” on Lemmy lmao
Plot twist: comments are AI-generated too
What about the news article about the AI-generated comments about AI-generated images? Surely we can’t stop there.
That’s way overkill. Just Markov chain it.
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.
Yeah, AI is a new twist here but the concept of misrepresenting images and stories for attention is ageless.
Let’s just agree that everything is fake now. I’m not sure I’m real.
That is a funny joke fellow human.
People are stupid. Pics or it didn’t happen is gonna have to be replaced.
Welcome to the future.
Bots creating content for the enjoyment of other bots, while advertisers pay for it.
Lemmys future if Threads is federated.
I mean maybe! Legitimately worrying.
Reality is dead.
Or maybe it’s still alive somewhere, but nobody can find or identify it anymore.
Fake political candidates incoming
uh shit gotta get your mom’s out of that with mental outlaw reposts
Does the entire west coast of the US run on Facebook too? ‘Cuz that was a big unwelcome surprise when I moved to BC.
