A.I Created images and video

[Tengu]

An interesting notion.

Unfortunately the public want AI, as they desire rubbish of no use.

The Victorians tried to educate public taste.

They failed.

It is getting worse I am afraid, some of us are now becoming over sensitised to AI images that we reject real pictures when we see them. I was recently caught out on Facebook calling out a picture for being AI because it just did not look right to me, turns out it was genuine

Ditto, a gambling casino advert on tv which has some american comedian Chris something in it. It didn't look right somehow, sitting clothed bone dry in an ice bath? Thought it was AI, but maybe it's just the filling in around him, but just as bad.

For these reasons there is a genuine possibility the internet could cease to become the useful resource it has been for the last 20-odd years, to the extent that it could actually become easier to regress to using books and libraries as a source of information. Of course, AI has the potential to fill the content of books, but choosing a cut off date of publication would filter it out. Whether publishing companies would want to keep it out of their products is another matter, even if achievable...

I think Tengu is right, by the time the lazy masses realise that, the books will be gone, digitised libraries only for the rich and even then AI versions will outnumber the real authors/facts.

Who are these lazy masses and why are “we” in any way superior to or differentiated from them?

We are all using AI on a daily basis. There is no distinct wall between “conventional” server networks and networks that employ artificial intelligence.

Who are these lazy masses and why are “we” in any way superior to or differentiated from them?

I think it's just a reference to the effect we have on society at a group rather than an individual level. Not a claim of superiority.

The sort who turned Fifty shades of Grey into a bestseller.

Thats who I am talking about.

Oh you mean the marketeers of large publishing houses! I’ve never met one so I can’t comment.

(Have you read it?)

As the demographic set whom are growing up now , glued to phones and tik-tok , insta and whatever the next big social media type digital is , AI produced video and stories will insidiously filter into what people think is reality.

If you see a Still photo image now that looks suspect - we have an idea and answer - It must have been photoshopped - meaning we recognise that in someway the image has been modified or tampered with and we are looking for tell-tale signs. The more heavily and obvious the juxtaposition between what we expect to see as normal and what is presented provides us an idea if the image has been tampered with.

If manipulated AI video becomes more of a mainstay thing weaving its way into our news stories - if the manipulation and content is extreme - we will learn to recognise and identify it as such - Giant kitten climbing the empire states building - mundane , funny , somewhat harmless because its obvious its for entertainment and not 'real' despite having the fidelity and image quality of something that looks real.

When the changes and manipulation will be as finely executed in digital quality and more key or pivotal in sublime minor ways , changing words , deepfake images , changing a potentially believable narrative is far more an opportunistic option.

Here's an AI ad I don't understand:

It's for an investment platform whose selling point is that you can have your investments track the portfolios of other members, and benefit from their expertise. The ad purports to show some of the other investors on the platform that you could follow, but they're plainly all AI-generated simulacra. What message are they trying to convey? That their platform is full of bots and fake identities?
