    This kind of AI stuff bums me out. You get people legitimately sharing AI images (and potentially videos in the future) and saying “look what I made!”. It’s totally inauthentic.

    My boss loves this shit, on the other hand. Looking forward to the day she can automate our jobs away, I assume.

    Genuine question: why do we need this type of thing?

    Especially in view of the harm it can cause, what’s the point of creating this aside from generating shareholder value?

    Sure, creating a video out of text quickly is cool, but is there an actual need for this?

        Weird music videos. Just this week Youtube had pushed me music videos all done in the weird warpy AI style.

        It’s kind of cool and simultaneously already feels like a fad that tired with.

      Genuine question: When have we ever needed the things corporations push as disruptive technologies?

      This isn’t being done because we asked for it, it’s being done by the owner class as a method of control and cover.

      It isn’t ‘we’, and never has been.

    I don’t really see the big problem yet. There’s still a hint of uncanny valley in that video.

      With the amount of people who are either lying or genuinely can’t tell when images are made by AI… I’m scared

      This is only the beginning. It’s only going to get harder and harder to know what is and isn’t real online.
      Sure, you and I are aware of this and have an idea of what to look out for. But do my older parents or grandparents know about this stuff and what to look for? I seriously doubt it.

      Show it to your parents and ask what they think. Guaranteed they can’t tell it’s fake.
