The human mind makes it possible to imprint false memories. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/false-memories

This feature seems like an open ended disaster for human psychology, which is already unreliable and untrustworthy.

I already did, I accidentally have a false memory and it's hard to actually forget about it Sometimes act as if it was real and it takes a good moment to recognise it or just... I dont

I could see my mother buying products her grandchildren show her in an AI ad. Disgusting.

[–] Visstix@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't that show the grandchildren already owning the product?

You couldn't think off a tiktok video, where an AI animtes grandchildren having fun in a inflatable pool and thanking their grandma with a hug in the end, would trigger something in a grandma, that sees that and therefore would likely buy an inflateable pool for their grandchildren? Dependending on the mental state of this grandmother, it would not even matter that the grandchildren are 32 years old and live in Montana. It is a catchy deceitful way of predatory advertisment that would be done, because it works, not because it is good.

Maybe its not their pool. Maybe it is just a dream. Or a Memory? Not sure. I buy it.

At last a sufficiently obvious "GET THE FUCK AWAY" sign for normies... I hope I'm not overestimating normies.

Just sitting here with my hands on my face crying and muttering "just delete your facebook/instagram/whatever. just delete it. please. please just stop using the torment nexus"

I admit that I use Instagram to follow cat accounts and a few creators who I respect. I post very sporadically. In the rare instances where I post photos of myself, it's only when I'm wearing a balaclava and/or after I've used Photoshop to blur my face to unrecognizability.

I would suggest that most people that aren't earning money from IG should do the same.

Noping out from this shit years ago is really paying dividends same with switching to Linux...

These corpos don't respect the taxpyers on whom they leech and our government serves them.

Deny the Parasite engagement and profit.

Who in the world is obediently posting selfies of themselves from the front and from the side to some random app that asks them to do it? I stopped doing that stuff around the time I deleted my Facebook account. Why would you do that to yourself?

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

People who it are not tech savy, and poorly educated over all...

They got nothing to hide until they need an abortion then privacy is a concern lol

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. It's unreasonable I guess to expect everyone to treat their phone as a malicious little device that's actively trying on behalf of multiple bad actors to gather as much information about them as it can and sell it to some of the worst people in the world. It's fair for them to expect it to just be a phone. I guess I'm just looking at it the way I look at my phone.

Either you take care of your business or somebody else will do for profit.

There is not much in between and there is no shortage of parasites.
