I'm beginning to write off most images as AI. I actually think that's where this is all headed.

There are projects like https://contentcredentials.org/ . If we want, with some effort we could distinguish between real and ai generated. If.

No individual actor - human or corporate - stands to benefit enough because "trust in reality" is neither easily measured nor financialized.

Every day that passes I grow fonder of Google's decision to delay or otherwise keep a lot of this under the wraps. The other day I was scrolling down on YouTube shorts and a couple videos invoked an uncanny valley response from me (I think it was a clip of an unrealistically large snake covering some hut) which was somehow fascinating and strange and captivating, and then scrolling down a few more, again I saw someth…

I wish Google would allow me to remove the AI stuff from search results. 99% of the times it's either useless or wrong.

Nobody has any clue what is AI stuff these days. Apart from the obvious ones, no one can tell a generative AI apart from 3D rendered stuff or low-res photos. Put image compression on top and it's definitely impossible.

>you and many others are being trained in AI discernment HN is a hyper specialized group of people. The average person can not do this and as we've seen devours up misinformation with no second thoughts.

On one hand, I like to think that society is getting trained to recognize AI and distrust it. But at the same time my retired boomer parents are over for the holidays and I catch them watching youtube videos completely oblivious to the fact it's an AI voice and just reading an LLM generated script with B roll for eye candy. Often times it's just stolen auto generated captions from larger creators regurgitated by an A…

AI voices have gotten scarily good. They are easy to recognize because most creators use the same voices with the same intonations and don't care to cut out the mistakes. But if you don't recognize the voice it takes a couple sentences to discern that it's AI even with an ear trained on the difference.

But it is funny to see how much stuff gets uploaded with zero quality control and still gets traction. These models really don't deal will with "innocent" letter substitutions, Iike using I instead of l.

Is it just me or do all the clips on the official page feel just creepily wrong? Everything seems so wrong, movements, proportions, light, color... everything's almost correct, but barely and noticeable not so. To me it looks like some horror from beyond, something inter-dimensional beings would dream up to simulate the idea of the something that's similar to reality. And it creeps me the fuck out.

It saddens me. Innovations in AI 'art' generation (music, audio, photo) have been a net negative to society and are already actively harming the Internet and our media sphere. Like I said in another comment, LLMs are cool and useful, but who in the hell asked for AI art? It's good enough to fool people and break the fragile trust relationship we had with online content, but is also extremely shit and carries no meani…

Go on civil.AI, it’s primarily used for hardcore waifu porn.

You mean civitai.com? There's a lot more on there than just that...

Not available in France yet, I'd we interested to know if it's a matter of progressive rollout, or some form of legislation (EU or otherwise ?) that's making OpenAI cautious ? Something like the EU AI Act [1] ? In a sane world, any video produced by Sora would be required to have a form of watermarking that's on par with what intellectual property owners require. We've put people in jail for sharing copyrighted movie…

Each of Google's AI things were delayed by months, I assumed due to GDPR, but I haven't seen such delays from OpenAI yet.

So Musk was right?

No, because Musk encourages AI slop if people are willing to pay. What we probably need (this is going to sound crazy, but I don’t have a better suggestion), is some kind of networked trust system.

Like Community Notes? It's actually a darn good system.

The best part is that eventually, over time, the AI slop will feed into training data more and more. I suspect it will be like the Kessler Syndrome of AI models.

I meant the bit of AI that Google adds on top the actual search results.
