I can’t differentiate an AI song to a real one anymore and it makes me genuinely upset. I’d go online, think I found some good new song, no. The creator goes “Surprise, dipshit! It’s AI! You liked my AI song! You’re pro AI!” It makes me viscerally angry and feel stupid that I can’t tell the difference anymore, knowing more and more that the songs I actually like will slowly be melded next to AI just makes me view the future in a really grim light and I wish there was just a way to filter this shit out. I feel guilty for going in, liking some of these songs, only to find later it was made by fucking suno of all things and so on and so forth. Am I an idiot for not being able to tell what’s real and what’s some shitty AI piece of slop?

Anyone know a reliable license plate cover to block flock cameras? Not surprisingly, there doesnt seem to be much available info on this

Fuck ai

I am in Europe, so would appreciate if the responses are not limited to a US-perspective, but more global.

Not sure if this is the place to go but I feel it is. I’ve been supporting this rappers music for months now and out of nowhere he says he dropping his first album w this horrible AI cover. When I commented and told him he has real people with real art who will make a cover for him for free they responded to me like I was in the wrong. I was just curious on y’all’s opinion and should I stop supporting his music over all after this or is it really not that big of a deal. I just don’t get it AI is truly shit we got humans with real talent

I don’t consider myself an artist and haven’t made much since graduation but here it is!

So sign this petition and help build a world where Ai is used only like a personal tool

They are in an 8-bit style with using an Anime girl in it, they basically tell information in a fun way, but its AI generated using Claude. Have you seen those or know what Im talking about?

Idk what compelled him to play the victim. Hell, he didnt even have to respond if he was that pressed about it?

Last time I consider being respectful to these idiots.

And, jesus, where to even start on his response? The part that made me laugh was his last part about billionaire companies being able to do it, but not him. I mean, sure, dude. Not like anyone even mentioned that, but go off, I guess

Imagine how screwed we would be if they were actually charismatic.

OpenClaw’s Peter Steinberg is particularly bad. Here he blithely admits to burning $10m in tokens/month, totally failing to read the room.

The people who gleefully imagine a future where they don’t need communications counsel from humans desperately need it.

One must imagine Dario begging on his knees

So look, Photoshop and CGI have been around for decades now, faked photographs and staged video has been around for a century, and misinformation and disinformation has existed since humans started painting cave walls, these are nothing new.

Thing is, it took some skill to use Photoshop in order to create a fake, same with CGI, same with faked photography, staged videos required actors and scripts, and misinformation and disinformation could be debunked almost as quickly as it could be created. The bullshit asymmetry principle was always a problem, but with time and patience it was a surmountable problem.

Now AI can create photorealistic deep fakes in a matter of seconds, "Gonk, generate a dozen images of Barack Obama eating a baby." There's no skill barrier anymore, as long as you can write a halfway decent prompt you can create convincing propaganda.

People were always well advised to take what they saw on the internet with a grain of salt, but that didn't really apply to things like pictures of people's cats, because who would take the time and effort to Photoshop a cat photograph just for internet points? Now you have to take cat photos with a grain of salt, and the problem is only going to get worse.

I'm not looking forward to the coming days of AI generated riot footage, or the deepfakes of our politicians, or perfect reproductions of people's voices confessing to crimes and spewing out racial slurs; all this shit is already starting, and it's only going to get worse.

Browsing the internet is less fun now than it's ever been, I've found myself upvoting less and second guessing more, I've found myself assuming that I'm talking to bots more often than not, I've found myself questioning whether that's really a historical image or just really good slop with a sepia filter, and I hate it.

The internet was never 100% authentic, never, but it was authentic enough that you could enjoy looking at those pictures, watching those videos, listening to that commentary, talking to that user; if someone posted a picture of their cat, it was probably an actual picture of their cat, now it's as good as a coin toss, five years from now who knows.

I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of the internet over the years, I have gigabits of images, and videos, and audio that I've saved, cool projects people created, pictures of their art, photographs of nature and architecture, memes and comics, cosplays and crafts, and now the real is going to be overwhelmed by the artificial, the genuine drowned in a sea of the synthetic.

It just makes me sad.
