These AI videos of black people acting or speaking stereotypically are nothing more than modern day versions of minstrel shows.
Absolutely sad and not cool.
I’m using Reddit more now because the other forms of social media are drowning in AI slop. Here’s to active mods.
No one can take a joke anymore.
Stupid people will believe anything so, sadly, there’s nothing you can do about it.
My mom sent me a „news“ video the other day because she was convinced Iran invaded Seattle and wanted me to flee WA. The same lady that told me to not believe everything you read on the Internet. Need to get her off Facebook.
media literacy has been dead for ages anyway.
The people on social media were already lost.
Beware the offers of a „free account“ with the NY times, as soon as you sign up they start blasting you with spam to subscribe. There is nothing free about the account and you cannot actually read any articles.
The next election cycle is going to be hell.
I have the opposite problem now. I don’t believe anything any more.
If aliens invaded today I wouldn’t believe it until they probed me personally.
I’m not sure if these videos do anything except make a sentiment that already existed more visible. Like at what point do we acknowledge that someone who sees an AI generated video with an explicit warning that it is fake and believes it anyways is choosing to do so? It’s what they believe and they want it to be true so it is.
The generation that taught us not to believe everything on the internet keeps falling for shit on the internet.
My mom falls for this shit all the time, though she’s getting better…somewhat. She sends me a video the other day, and comments „It’s AI, but it’s still funny“. She has a lot to learn, yet.
This is getting really really bad.
I just want to watch cat videos dammit. Do we really need to fake cat videos now too?
Might have something to do with warning labels being deliberately useless when random Ukrainian brigades have managed to make better ones that rotate, bounce, and recolor. Presumably because *AI takeover is the point*.
And mind you, ‚invisible watermarks‘ and other fancier mechanisms already exist as open packages too. Sora is (supposedly) a billion-dollar company and yet has these tiny, mostly static watermarks to the side of the content. Are we seriously supposed to believe it’s by mistake or lack of means?
This goes the other way too. There are real videos that people suspect are A.I.
I mean, I was ready. Lots of us were. The author is projecting. It’s not all that difficult right now to discern reality with some fact-checking and logic – but so many people lack the critical thinking skills to even consider doing so
Nonetheless, it is disingenuous to say no one was ready.
No one was ready?
Bullshit. Misinformation has been in the news for a decade and EVERYBODY knew ai was going to be used to make it worse. This is a feature, and if you doubt that it’s intentional ask yourself why tech has been buying up media.
Maybe the label needs to be absurdly obvious:
„THIS WHOLE VIDEO WAS AI GENERATED“
and not just „AI generated“ – maybe people still have doubts what is AI generated/which part of the video.
Additonally to the wording of the label, maybe there needs to be a universal sign/icon of a robot – that every media outlet/digital platform uses, looking exactly the same, so that it’s very obvious from the first second visually, that it’s AI generated video.
You can never underestimate the power of obviousness and simplicity.
I like cat videos. I post a couple to Reddit every day. A few times I’ve posted cat videos that were AI generated and I had no idea. The other side of it is other people accuse me of posting AI videos and the cats are real. I just wanna share funny animal videos with people and AI is ruining it for everyone
You mean the video of the 800 lb person sprinting through all the rooms in a house and destroying walls in the process isn’t real?
