Pretty crazy there's no PKI in place to verify photos, videos, or text. We just need apps to verify signatures and tell users about the origin. Memes can remain unsigned, but veritable information should always be traceable to a source.

E.g. I'm more inclined to believe a video sourced by AP (sent to me by whomever) than one posted by the white house twitter without signature.

[–] porkloin@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

That’s a really good and reasonable idea, which is why I’m absolutely sure it will never happen 😢

[–] glibg@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Just turn away from your phone screen and go outside. There is an entire non-AI world to explore and steward.

[–] phoenixarise@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

I’ve been getting back into my favorite childhood TV shows and finding some good library books. No AI slop there. 🙂

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Can you feel it? You won't be able to tell soon and that means you'll just need to plug in like the Matrix. Then it won't matter right? Everything will be constructed. While the billionaires play in the real world. You'll be plugged in but you'll be a billionaire in your own world. You'll have the same thoughts, feelings, experiences except they will be "fake". You just better hope that no one turns your shit off, otherwise reality is hell.

Or you know unplug. Touch grass. Cottage core.

I'm more of a Simmental than a Hereford, but the sentiment's spot on.

stop looking at it

Glad to be here, witnessing the death of the internet as we know it here together. I'm pretty sure most of you are real so let's enjoy the show together before we all go outside again!

As the internet lay dying I wondered if I should be crying A great gift to mankind is losing it's mind

Should we stay? Said the friends we made along the way

Who are we without web? But who, is the web without the we?

Even as we grieve and leave

Remember.

There is no web without the we And where we go the web will be

I'm not real

I'm a figment of your imagination

That's a different lemming.

Well Yes!

AI is utter shite at poetry. Its the only proof of humanity I can convey over text except for swearing to show my humanity

Yes it sort of feels like online ecosystem collapse. Between all the insincerity, ads and slop. Very few online places feel alive :(

There was a brief window before this mess where we used to be unsure if things were cake or not, I long for those simpler times.

[–] apftwb@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Take a bit out of a person to see if they are made out of linear algebra.

[–] MadBits@europe.pub 3 points 8 hours ago

It was all a test all along.

Go outside and you won't have to ask.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 17 points 11 hours ago

Go outside

Instantly tracked by 70000000 AI cameras hooked up to the Palantir database

The sea peoples were right, urbanization was a mistake, we must return to monke

Me going outside:

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (5 children)

People are just as fake as AI

[–] jared@mander.xyz 48 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The animals and plants are pretty cool.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Wow, you're really just suckling at the teat of Big Bird, aren't you? No, wait, not like the Big Bird, but...

Birds aren't real, whatever.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Some of them. I'm not a fan of poison ivy, or geese.

[–] Whitebrow@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Geese are at least forthcoming with their intent to mess you up

The genie is out of the bottle, but at some point, LLM/image-gen providers are going to have to raise prices for their services. While this won't do anything to stop self-hosters, it might cut down on the number of casual users just a tiny bit. At least I hope it will!

[–] apftwb@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

My concern is that "self hosters" in this context are state actors with their own data centers.

[–] 474D@lemmy.world 12 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (2 children)

Unfortunately realistic image gen can already be done locally on consumer hardware at the cost of additional rendering time. The cat is out of the bag. And while local video gen is pretty easy to spot, the models just keep getting faster and better at a scary rate.

This is a lot more like Pandora's Box - all the evils have been let loose.

Do you really think there’s a 50 foot tall transparent cow out there?

This is why I accept everything as true.

[–] vogi@piefed.social 1 points 7 hours ago

ye, worst outcome would be that you compliment a little baby whos to stupid to have their own thoughts on their "work". but who really cares about them, it is still better to falsely accusing an actual artist of using ai.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 13 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Wait till your phone start generating fake photos of your past to gaslight you

Hell, any digital journals you keep could be a fake one replaced by AI

[–] Buffalobuffalo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Wait are you saying i wasnt holding Flamin' Hot Cheetos™ right after my childs birth?

[–] apftwb@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

STOP GIVING THEM IDEAS

You weren't yet

Soon you will have been

[–] burgermeister@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago

Oh it's gonna be

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

There could be two major attacks.

First is pricing realism. Just like many pre-IPO products, it’s trying to gain interest. Someday, it has to make money, meaning everyone with a cheap/cheesy idea will need to pay for it.

The second is legislative attacks related to copyright infringement. I’d see it as a progressive legislator asking them for lists of permission from every image author they’ve grabbed from. Inevitably, they profess “We don’t have that!” And the model is blocked. Admittedly, that is not something I see happening soon, but it’s something to hope for.

[–] MacaqueAndCheese@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You know I used to think ai was pretty cool because I read a lot of sci-fi and in most sci-fi ai is a very useful tool but now that I've been living in reality for a good 2 years I've noticed that maybe this ai just isn't very nice. It's like that time I meet weird ai Yankovic and thought it was the real Weird Al but all he did was regurgitate edgy talking points and send me videos of giant boobed women dancing.

Needless to say, Bob Barker was pretty cool.

[–] arudesalad@piefed.ca 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ai IS cool. LLMs and ai art and most forms of generative ai ISN'T cool.

One of my favourite examples of ai being capable of doing good when it isn't being controlled by a trillion dollar bubble is alpha fold

You read a lot of sci-fi and your conclusion was the AI is depicted as good????

[–] varjen@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Maybe they read Iain M Banks Culture books. Several examples of good AIs there.
