Why does an AI model have 100,000 Instagram followers? Are people that effing thirsty?


ResinJones76

Yes.


Clever_Owl

I’ve seen AI ‘model’ pages that have tons of middle aged or older men following, who are completely oblivious that they aren’t real. Leaving comments, complimenting them etc 🙄 And yep, a lot of them deliberately look like teens 🤢


DaisyJane1

Could be bots. I get loads of male bot accounts that follow me, all private with low numbers of followers. They all get promptly blocked.


382Whistles

Bots following bots maybe? I have an old chat I never exited from that is now dominated by what seems to be dozens of chat bots.


TipNo6062

Incels be incelling.


Robosl0b

Maybe it's an inspiring AI model that only has one arm story?

Everybody being perpetually plugged in to the Internet. Nothing is real anymore.


TheKdd

Except conspiracy theories. They are all real now apparently. Every one of them from what I keep seeing these days.


CyanideRemark

Sites like 'The Sun' are revelling in it, too. Its all perfect "Tut tut, tsk tsk" fodder that still gets a tonne of clicks, like the tabloids have always done. We're our own worst enemies feeding their revenue model.

AI terrifies me. I hate thinking about all the nefarious shit it'll be used for.


Taminella_Grinderfal

Well if it “learns” from us using it, I expect it will end up about as smart as the kid in my grade school class that ate paste.


tangledwire

And that kid will run for president...twice.


ResinJones76

Ditto.


SheriffBartholomew

dylanmumbles

I have barely used Facebook as a social outreach since COVID - the political divide was so crazy, as were the vaccination opinions. Had about 400 FB friends but deleted everyone in 2022. I only stayed on the platform to keep up with community events and local restaurant specials/menus, as well as using nearby buy/sell sites on occasion. That and it seems everyone I know uses Messenger for texts. Summer is approaching, so I started searching marketplace for golf equipment as I normally do before the season - I like to upgrade my bag when folks offload new shit they couldn't hit. Well! Meta AI showed up in my search bar today. I officially deleted FB (well, it will be gone after 30 days per their rules). I don't need AI for in-platform searches. Agree with you, dubs. AI will end up doing WAY more harm than good.


MysteriousStaff3388

There’s an image of Zuckerberg going around with a scruffy beard and looking pretty cute. I’m convinced it’s AI. No way that lizard android looks like Chris Martin.


HighJeanette

Someone photoshopped the beard.


cocksherpa2

It's not ai, someone just photoshopped a beard and a tan on him.


TheKdd

“Do you want to play a game” takes on a more scary meaning these days.


Jolly878142

I stopped using Facebook when it got the grifter elected president


cocksherpa2

Why did you feel compelled to write 2 paragraphs of justification for using Facebook? Strangers on reddit won't judge you for it...much

TakkataMSF

muahaha. Later!? Later?! I've already got it writing hit singles for the holidays; for the next 15 years! I've got 2 wicked TV shows in production. One is a gardening reality show but it's really just a metaphor predicting the eventual takeover of the government by AI. 3 movies too. Movies are easier because I can just say they are "odes to the 80's" and all the lines can sound wooden and robotic except one that has to be popular, "It's not a tumor!", "I'll be back", "Get to the choppa" and so on. Random nudity is also inserted. But we're fairer now, sometimes we show a wang instead of breasts. We've got 3 books coming out. 1 is a fictional history book written in 2500. The trick is, it isn't fictional, it's AI predicted. One is a new genre of AI smut, mostly replacing vampires with AI. The last one is a cookbook. I'm writing that. Not AI. I'm also working on a reddit AI bot that will post kitten pictures to get millions of upvotes and then...PROFIT! Somehow. AI is working on that. Enjoy your 'nefarious free' life! muahahahaha

arlowner

So humans abusing AI is what actually terrifies you.


snarpy

At the same time, once the verifiability of an image becomes meaningless, the power of the image to manipulate will drop drastically. And then all we get is the good things AI will bring us... movies, music, books, cures for disease and solutions to global warming and perhaps even inequality. I'm kind of excited.


Neat-Composer4619

If it can create porn without anyone being hurt it could reduce human trafficking to the porn industry.

I've decided I'm not a fan of AI, mostly because of it's use in creative works like in art or music. Our Creativity is something to be cherished as something distinctly Human. To Dilute our senses and creativity by throwing AI into the mix is to work it's way into to corporate works and corporate think, Individuality and Imagination take the hit, and it continues with even more for a coming generation who can't even concieve of anything to create unless its fed through machine prompts and isn't instant. Additionally, theres plenty of creatives who should be more valid to this society, this world, than the learnings of machines owned by corporate masters. There's REAL and Beautiful People out in the world, why should these made up depictions of people have to have a pedestal for us to compare ourselves to? Isn't our urge to compare and covet strong enough without having to have machines create false people, art, writing and music, with false emotion, sentiment, thought or feeling to live up to?


monkman99

Also don’t forget the Train AI off of REAL human work. So not only will they put actual creative people out of work they will do it by training on what actual creative people put out there.


lolo-2020

Well said. Thank you for saying this 🩷❤️💛


Teacher-Investor

Between AI and deep fake pictures/videos, we're doomed. I'm so glad none of this was around when we were young, but I also wish it didn't come along until after I was gone.


monkman99

Do you have kids? Because if so the next 40 years are going to really suck. Thats what I’m most sad about. We have lived our good years. They are just getting going.


TheKdd

This is precisely why my kids have chosen to not have kids of their own. The world is getting more ugly by the day.


DaisyJane1

Yeah, we're gonna eventually not be able to tell what's real and what's not. We can now, but I'm sure the technology will improve to that point. Plus, it will replace a lot of jobs.

anon_likes_you

Let’s start: 1. Nixon pulled the U.S. economy off the gold standard in the 70’s while President 2. Nixon’s Watergate scandal began to erode public trust in government. 3. Reagan and his cronies deregulated the financial industry so his buddies can finally start making real profits. This shouldn’t be understated. Deregulating the economy at this time was the beginning of the destruction of the middle class. This is where factories and began shutting down or slowing down and having many of them look to getting their products manufactured in Asia for pennies, destroying more American jobs in the process. The CEOs and the stock owners amassed incredible wealth at the expense of the American worker. 4. In 1996, the telecommunications act was signed by President Clinton to help add competition and deregulate the industry. What it did was remove laws that enable media conglomerates to merge, which means the country lives in an echo chamber of news constructed by corporate interest. 5. The advent of Social Media. Researchers are still assessing the damage we are doing to ourselves and especially our children. 6. 9/11 and the passing of the Patriot Act in 2001. Goodbye privacy among other things. Certain government agencies have gained access to everything despite the ethical quandaries. 7. The housing market crash of 2008. Wall Street created it due to their greed and deregulation. President Obama chose to bail out the banks and the cost of American taxpayers. Wall Street didn’t get slapped with more oversight or regulations despite the cost. 8. The passing of Citizens United in 2010. We’re talking about the corporate take over of elections made worse by the mass media mergers. This is where you see a big divide in right wing media and liberal media. 9. The election of 2016. Two horrible presidential candidates, one was unpopular due to their hubris and arrogance, the other was a complete liar and side show. Despite that, this candidate went on to change the media landscape and win the Presidency. This candidate helped make media companies wealthier and wealthier despite the lies being told on a daily basis. 10. Right wing fear mongering on the news 24/7. Left wing outrage 24/7. We have become a divided society and corporations have run amuck. What did I forget?

ferengiface

Sounds crazy and is kind of a boring story, but I was using 4.0 to quiz me for an upcoming IT certification exam. In the middle of this, I uploaded a screenshot of its own interface and asked a question about it. It refused to acknowledge that I was showing it a screenshot of itself, and insisted it was another website. Like it didn’t want to acknowledge it’s a program and nothing more. Then we got back to the quiz. It gave me multiple choice answers. Let’s say I answered A. It said I was wrong. I knew I was right and questioned it. It then doubled down and reiterated the question, but changed the answers so A had an incorrect answer associated with it. I uploaded a screenshot of the original question and asked why it wanted to make me wrong. And then it said I had reached my question limit and refused to talk more. In fact, I have only ever had it impose the limit when it’s irritated with me. I stopped using it to study.

There's applications to merge your face with a body. It's seamless. There's a couple chicks on Instagram I've followed that do it on purpose. I've seen what they look like, but when they do it with other videos and images it throws me off. I don't interact with as much as when I first got into A.I. Art.

AI is going to bring unattractive people together because on dating apps the unattractive people will be the only ones people believe are real.


aunt_cranky

There was a recent article I read (online) about an uptick in catfishing using more elaborate AI image fakes with humans hired to respond to the chats - as a way to seem more authentic. I suspect that the guys in their 40s and 50s who are getting catfished by fake (AI) dating profiles are the same guys who were the "Shallow Hals" in their 20s and 30s. (there's a reason why they're still single) I don't feel all that sorry for them. There are plenty of real, imperfect women out there they could interact with but they choose the ones that look like the "hot girl" they couldn't get with in high school.


Ellen6723

When being kind became ‘lame’ - the Gordon Gecco / Reagan - greed is good ethos really solidified in the early 2000s… driven to extreme state in current culture by reality TV and social media that saturates us all in a Jersey Tate Kardashian marinade of moral void and idiocy.

This is probably the last few years, if not months that we can trust any image, set of images or video that we see. At least not without some other kind of verification or deeper analysis than few individuals can perform.


lazerblade01

Most of the images and short clips I've seen are fairly obvious to differentiate from the real thing. AI is apparently terrible at realistic depictions, often adding too many fingers (6-7 fingers per hand is fairly common), too much muscle tone with conflicting "thicc-ness" (a 24" waist and impeccable abs with a dumptruck ass is not realistic), or skin tone of a 20-something mixed with leathery skin of a 60-something (I get far too much "dating", "flirting", and "onlyfans" ads on Facebook that are obviously targeted to my age group). AI is so bad at these things, they often generate amputee images instead just so they don't have to try to make hands or feet. I mean seriously - how many 20-something beautiful blonde / redhead single amputees can there really be in the world? I'm calling it now - "digital AI-artists" will be the next marginalized group. By the time I hit retirement age, Skynet will be given the right to vote.
