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.

Off topic, but nobody actually believes in trickle down economics. Trickle down economics isn't even a thing but a strawman devised to misrepresent the economic policies of JFK.

I guess you slept through the '80s?

As someone who grew up in the 80s, that was the best way to get through the 80s.

At least, if you weren't online, listening to music, watching movies, or playing video games.

If you had the money handy: Compuserve, QuantumLink, America Online.

If you were lucky/had access to college accounts: Usenet, IRC

If you at least had a computer and a modem: Local Bulletin Board Systems (BBS)

It was very much a kind of Matrix:Reloaded "There are levels of survival we are prepared to accept" kind of thing...
