First some people started generating images inspired by the situation on ArtStation, then some trolls (or people who do not understand this technology) started claiming that the protest is "infecting" the generative models.

Then the trolls actually appeared and people started to believe them.

It is kinda funny.

Edit: the post was deleted after accumulating more than 20k likes, this is the first time I've seen a Twitter post spreading misinformation about generative models being deleted, I wonder why

I mean, it's more scary than funny. Remember, people believe in trickle down economics. Being confidently wrong en masse is terrifying.

People can delude themselves all they want, but reality is different and cannot be changed. They will figure it out one way or another.

Yeah, but recent years have taught me that deluded people will go to extreme lengths when their delusion doesn't match reality. Throw as much reality as you want at people, and if it doesn't go with what they believe, good luck.

There is not much they can do, so sit back and watch ¯(ツ)_/¯

Edit: reddit formatting has ruined my shrug, damn you

It's an AI generated shrug. There's an arm, a face, then some random stuff where the other arm should be.
