In EU they forbid us newspapers from non-approved countries, impose cookies banners everywhere, and now block porn. Soon they will forbid some AI models which have not passed EU censorship ("safety") validation. Because we all know that governments (or even Google with Android) are better at knowing what is the safest for you. https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/eu-rules-gener...

How do you do, fellow europeans?

Very impressive. I have to say while I'm deeply impressed by these text to image models, there's a part of me that's also wary of their impact. Just look at the comments beneath the average Facebook post.

I have been testing google's SynthID for images and while it isn't perfect, it is very good, insofar that I felt some relief from that same creeping dread over what these images will do to perceived reality. It survives a lot of transformation like compression, cropping, and resizing. It even survives over alterations like color filtering and overpainting.

facebook isn't going to implement detection though. Many (if not most) of the viral pictures are AI-generated. and facebook is incentivized to let their users get fooled to generate endless scrolling

I was able to upload my kids' back-to-school photos and ask nano-banana to turn them into a goth, an '80s workout girl, and a tracksuit mafioso. The results were incredibly believable, and I was able to prank my mom with them!

Along with those being fooled there are many comments saying this is fake, AI trash and etc. That portion of the commenters are teaching the ignorant and soon no one will believe what they see on the Internet as real.

Would you consider writing a blog post about this experience? I'm incredibly interested in learning more details about how this unfolded.

Well just go on this guy's lawn and you will find your answer lol

Plot twist: It wasn't a deepfake.

You sent your wallet to the real Elon and he used it as he saw fit. ;)
