Greentext

in fact, this green text was made purely from asking chatgpt what ai will look like in 10 years

This guy bought so many rare monkey tokens. Ai is impressive in some aspects, but it's not nearly as impressive as the marketing that drives the massive amounts of investment into it.

The US economy is doing anything it can to create growth, which is causing investors to create a bubble around AI that is "too big to fail".

I wonder if personal websites with links to each other, like in the olden days, will start growing in popularity again because of how trust is slowly eroded for anything not in your direct control, and search engines becoming more and more useless 🤔

I think this vastly overestimates the average person's ability to recognise or even care to recognise what is AI and what is not.

You've got all those videos on Facebook which are BLATANTLY AI and the comment section is split between "wow, amazing!" and "it's AI you fucking morons"

The latter will eventually leave the platform and the former will be all that's left.

This has already happened, many years ago. I know this because everyone but me is actually a highly sophisticated robot that resembles a member of my species. I'm onto you.

Reputation and PGP signatures could be used to verify real human made content. That is, of course, if people actually care, which I think will be rare.

There might be no-ai communities, that require this and are closed down to avoid being scraped for ai training.

Edit: Also AI is already enshittifiying itself, which might get worse if it becomes more widespread than it already is.

Part of the fun of watching stuff isn't because it "customised to me" it's sharing an experience with the creator(s) and friends, family etc.

I see genAI being used as a tool for creators but not as an automation of content creation.

Actually, polls show that most people are not fond of AI-generated content and want it to be labelled or don't want it at all.

As for generating your own entertainment at home, see interactive movies. They did not take off because people don't want to be "working" for their entertainment. That's their time to relax and not make decisions.

All in all, we're not as careless as it may seem.

I personally doubt that will happen, since the current models require a lot of data to get better, something we actually don't have. The real danger is what happens once we figure out how to make models without an absurd amount of data.

Video evidence is relatively easy to fix, you just need camera ICs to cryptographically sign their outputs. If the image/video is tampered with (or even re-encoded) the signature won't match. As the private key is (hopefully!) stored securely in the hardware IC taking the photo/video, any generated images or videos can't be signed by such a private key.

Skynut is coming, in all its smutty glory and we can do nothing about it

I like to think humans will go back to interacting with each other in person thanks to AI destroying the internet

Photorealistic porns? What's your problem, man? You have realistic AI and this is all you'll have? Just order a silicon doll and put an AI chip into it! Free ~~sex-sla~~ wife!

email. gmail already summarizes every mail by default in the US. most emails are bot spam. ppl start using ai bots to answer emails. is that the internet of things?

>I have long-since decided to stop watching new media altogether, opting instead for anime that I downloaded and hoarded before 2030, that I can verify was made before generative AI gained popularity

And I'm open to recommendations, I need to stockpile a good 30 years worth of content and I only have like 2 right now

We should get polaroids and analog film again

Reading this made my eye twitch.

Man, the AI Bros shilling this stuff are really active in 4Chan, apparently.

Simetimes I think the future will resemble the pre-internet era. AI content will be so easy to create that the zone will be flooded with shit, and only a few reputable sources will be trusted, like when there were only a few TV news channels.

That porn had to be trained on real people's bodies who will never see a penny of it. That's laundered revenge porn.

Read classics:

Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen, "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville, "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and "1984" by George Orwell.

Start here. There are thousands.

Time to get up and go outside :)

Before the invention of video, humanity didn't have video evidence either and still managed. We are approaching the end of a ~150 year time period in the history of humanity in which video evidence is persuasive.

The last bullet is true even now. Just go into Threads or Bluesky. So many bots and scammers.
