It’s over. Turn the lights off.

That cute animal doing the thing? The silly prank? The man on the street videos? The car accidents? More… all AI #memes #confession_bear

The examples you gave, why the fuck would you care? AI fakes of government officials or mass tragedies are a problem. AI videos of entertainment are not. Fucking cry more.

Personally I think at least the 'web' part of the internet is cooked in terms of value, in its death throes or first signs of decomposition.

All the more reasons to get back into books. You have several centuries of books published long before AI was a thing.

Already there tbh. I've already made a habit of checking everything for signs of slop.

Indian bots, political bots, Russian bots, and your average dipshit who shares it all.

Every day is our last "best" day.

I say we bring back pre-search engine internet. Personal web pages, IRC, spread interesting stuff by memes

I think you are over reacting.

The good news is AI seems to be unsustainable because of the massive amounts of power it uses. I hope it quickly becomes unprofitable and companies drop it

Neil deGrasse Tyson was talking about this on a show recently. He said AI will get so good at generating false crap that at some point, everything will be rejected because we'll have no idea what is true, even from legitimate sources. Time to dust off those old printing presses and for reporters to get some good walking shoes.

Don't think we'll be getting human level consistency for a long while yet. AI images have been very close to photos for years now but alot of them still are deep in the uncanny valley. Yeah you might see a 5 second clip somewhere and think it's real if you don't pay attention, but don't think we'll be seeing longer form content being indistinguihable from reality for a long while.

Pics yes, but the algorithm is fed by 30-second TikTok videos. And now… big oof.

If it's slop, you know not to trust it.

The wave is coming. My point is that very soon, there will be so much AI generated content and the quality will be good enough to fool most people that the incentive to create original and unique content will be driven down and the pro-clinkers will have won.

The issue is that it's getting harder to tell if it's slop. In a year or two, we may no longer be able to

Already happening a lot with online recipes. I don't trust anything posted in the last two years.

Guess what, cookbooks haven't gone away yet.

Yes, I had over 300. Then downsized to 80 or so some time ago because everything was online anyway.

Lots of AI slop, true. But I've got numerous savory and sweet recipes posted, all devoid of AI, if you're interested.

Thank you very much. Which reminds me that I should save all my Imgur recipes to my hard disk before we lose our favourites folders.
