discussion Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

I feel like the downside of AI is that when combined with genuine effort, it is very useful, but a lot of it's usage is just people trying to cut down on work and choose the easy way out, which churns out slop content.

AI images and videos have become so realistic that it’s almost impossible to separate them from the real thing. My Instagram feed is absolutely flooded with AI accounts now, and you really have to study the posts to make a judgment call.

It’s getting to the point where it's messing with my perception. I recently saw a clip with a weird filter and instantly thought it was AI, only for the comments to rightfully point out it was real. Even after verifying it myself, it's wild how easily our eyes get tricked now.

One thing that drives me nuts is the number of AI cat or dog videos there are on Instagram now. Sure, it's low hanging fruit, but it is also a fully saturated market. Why would I want to watch an AI cat being silly when I can watch an actual cat being silly. I just don't get the incentive to post it.

Indeed, but the problem is that a load of people still can't identify if it's real or not, and it's only going to get better. Unfortunate.

Completely agree. I lost my copywriter job to AI back in 2022 and since then, whenever someone says that AI can't do something, I mentally add the word "...yet."

AI can't write a movie script... yet.
AI can't design a video game from scratch... yet.
AI can't create the world's funniest cat video... yet.

It isn't a happy future, but I'd rather acknowledge reality rather than pretend the technology has remained at the same level it was four years ago.

Yeah, it's going to feel rough for the people who get displaced, but I atleast hope that it will be more positively impactful to humanity like the industrial revolution, rather than us being blinded by it's advantages only. I suppose time will tell.

I don't think these will ever happen, at least with the current tech. Current AI is more or less just copying what it was trained on. It doesn't have the ability to be truly creative.

But that's the key word, isn't it? 'Current' . Technology will always outpace our imaginations in just a few years, just like it has for the past century

Oh, I am on the same page about creativity. That's a uniquely human trait, thank God. But my fear is, at what point does AI become so good at copying/remixing things that its output becomes indistinguishable from actual art.
