Good. Fuck everything about Facebook and their advertising empire. Let it burn.

Hmm. On second thought, I'll fire up A1111 and start making fakes to fuel the fire.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 29 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Good is shortsighted. It will be here too eventually. Fuck Facebook, but hopefully we don't build a weapon that'll hurt us all, though in fully aware we have and are.

[–] L_Acacia@lemmy.one 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It is already here, half of the article thumbnails are already AI generated.

[–] Buelldozer 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Yep, Lemmy is littered with AI art just like everywhere else and if people notice they sure aren't saying anything.

[–] teichflamme@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

I notice and I think it's great

[–] agimus@startrek.website 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah, but these are accompanying text posts to give a visual. Thats different from using AI to copy art of people and flood the social media feeds. That I have not seen here yet.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 34 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Who's still using facebook? Oh. Morons. The people least capable of responding well to fake posts.

[–] Etienne_Dahu@jlai.lu 33 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It's the normie trap. We made the mistake of letting normies in on our Internet and now we try to contain them on Facebook because they have ruined the Internet.

[–] andyburke@fedia.io 22 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Too few people realize this is actually the source of all the world's current problems. We never, ever should have let the normies on here.

[–] Meowoem@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They were even worse before the internet, it's hard to deal with but this isn't even close to as bad as humanity has been.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Why do you think they were worse before?

It seems like the Internet has allowed them to band together to reinforce and validate each other's stupidity. I think they're far bolder than before but I'm willing to change my mind.

[–] Meowoem@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Well mostly it comes from my memories of going to the pub before internet adoption was wide spread, Idiots were always the majority but you couldn't prove them wrong and it was difficult to find anyone that would dare express anything but the dumbest groupthink opinion. Like even as late as the start of the Iraq war the level of discourse was unimaginably dumb even compared to your average Facebook group today.

It's kinda strange, the Eternal September was before my time and now we have whole generations of even tech-affine people who never heard of usenet. Which btw just like email pre-dates the internet.

From post-truth to post-reality in just a few years. SMH.

[–] Sorgan71@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago (4 children)

its not stolen, its AI generated.

[–] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 31 points 11 months ago (12 children)

it's worse than that, the article talks about img2img using AI. so these click farms are ripping real images and using that as the img2img prompt

It's not stolen, it's 'stolen'.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

It is "stollen" and filled with marzipan

[–] Chetzemoka@startrek.website 1 points 11 months ago (7 children)

AI trained on plagiarized art created by real humans who were not compensated for work that AI companies are now making money on.

Aka stealing

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 1 points 11 months ago

Nope they mean someone generated it then others stole it and are reusing it

Plot twist: comments are AI-generated too

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

What about the news article about the AI-generated comments about AI-generated images? Surely we can’t stop there.

[–] General_Effort@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

That's way overkill. Just Markov chain it.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I mean my mom has been fooled by this sort of thing on email chains for over a decade.

A lot of people just want to believe this kind of stuff.

[–] ElectricCattleman@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah, AI is a new twist here but the concept of misrepresenting images and stories for attention is ageless.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Let's just agree that everything is fake now. I'm not sure I'm real.

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

That is a funny joke fellow human.

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

People are stupid. Pics or it didn't happen is gonna have to be replaced.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 10 points 10 months ago

Welcome to the future.

Bots creating content for the enjoyment of other bots, while advertisers pay for it.

[–] Halcyon@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 11 months ago

Reality is dead.

Or maybe it's still alive somewhere, but nobody can find or identify it anymore.

[–] optissima@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Lemmys future if Threads is federated.

[–] pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

I mean maybe! Legitimately worrying.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Fake political candidates incoming
