My Facebook feed is almost entirely comic strips like Calvin and Hobbes. If they are AI-generated, the AI is doing a really good job.
I doubt "Facebook is being overrun" is an accurate description of this situation.

#62404 media is really, really anti-ai and especially image generation. In this case stolen isn't as inaccurate as it could be but the article definitely has a strong bias. (Stolen in the same way a musician can steal a chord progression, i.e, not illegal but done faithfully enough sorta unethical)

Sure, but the flip-side is that the truth becomes harder to ferret out as well.
Maybe it's time to stop caring so much about things on the internet and focus on the truth that is in front of you, the real things.
Well, if you care about your city or country, you have to care about many things that are not immediately in front of you. And the Internet is one of the main places where such things can be learned about.

#64And 100% of my YouTube ads are scams the last few weeks, many with deepfake fuckery going on. This whole side of the Web needs to be put down. The algo-feed ad-clearinghouse side. It’s a cesspit.
This right here is why we adblock. Google needs to wake up and do something if they really want to stop people from using adblocks on Youtube, or their other properties.
Why would they tho? As long as the ads pay, they win. Plus if people don't leave, and instead switch to the massively overpriced $15/m (or w/e) subscription, they make out even better.
Google wins as long as the viewers don't leave.

#65While this may be a particularly dangerous way of thinking[1], it might be good that everything on the internet is becoming obviously fake, AI-generated junk. So that peoples attitude toward things that are real or borderline but are manipulated by bad actors, whatever their motivations may be, also lose some of their influence over the public. And (hopefully) the public becomes more skeptical about everything on the…

Truth has always been hard to figure out. An old mentor once told me to be skeptical of everything I hear and only trust half of what I see. When I asked about which half to believe, he said that’s something I needed to figure out.

#66> unaware boomers click “like,” “share,” and say things like “wow, incredible,” all day every day. I laughed at this
If only "incredible" meant "not credible".

#67There are tutorials showing how to create an AI influencers using mix of text to image and deep fake.
Next step will be high quality fake vidoes not just images and those will be even more believable for most of people.

I wish we could get other people to agree, the internet was great until it started leaking out into real life and affecting day to day existence. The internet is a meta-reality that keeps asserting itself into our perceived reality and convinces people it should be paid attention to.
The internet is a reflection of reality, and mirrors are useful things - as long as not too many of them are fetched from a funhouse.

That is the literal plan of disinformation campaigns. The few who actually believe the BS is merely a bonus. The real goal is to get people to give up on finding the truth. At that point, they become easy to manipulate (because there is no outside standard of facts to work around).
It has never been realistic for people to find the truth, perhaps save those who are focused on a very narrow subject of truth and are dedicating their lives to the study. We have always relied on a collection of people with the aforementioned focus with some system of accreditation to tell us what is true.
While far from perfect, I'm not sure a deluge of generated AI nonsense outside of the vetted channels, complementing people already stirring up nonsense, changes anything.

#70I'm seeing AI-gen images of obviously (to me) bad nature themed images that sooo many people think are legit and make comments like "Nature is beautiful", "Amazing", "Proof of God", etc. These images don't even need to be stolen... they're just so easy to generate and then posted for clicks.
