Who's still using facebook? Oh. Morons. The people least capable of responding well to fake posts.
- It's the normie trap. We made the mistake of letting normies in on our Internet and now we try to contain them on Facebook because they have ruined the Internet.
  
  Too few people realize this is actually the source of all the world's current problems. We never, ever should have let the normies on here.
  
  Eternal September
- Ah yes, there's always someone shocked to find that there are actual users of a site that has been growing continuously for 15 years and reports over 3 billion MAU.
  Your social circle is not the world.
  
  You have 3 billion braincells that all tell you he is right though
its not stolen, its AI generated.
- it's worse than that, the article talks about img2img using AI. so these click farms are ripping real images and using that as the img2img prompt
  
  So? its not stealing.
- It's not stolen, it's 'stolen'.
  
  It is "stollen" and filled with marzipan
- AI trained on plagiarized art created by real humans who were not compensated for work that AI companies are now making money on.
  Aka stealing
  
  it's worse than that, the article talks about img2img using AI. so these click farms are ripping real images and using that as the img2img prompt
  
  Nope they mean someone generated it then others stole it and are reusing it
  
  Its not plagarism. Its not stealing either. Its training. The only artists who complain about this dont care about making art and are only concerned about making money.
- There's a lot of whiny "artists" on Lemmy lmao
Plot twist: comments are AI-generated too
- What about the news article about the AI-generated comments about AI-generated images? Surely we can’t stop there.
- That's way overkill. Just Markov chain it.
Let's just agree that everything is fake now. I'm not sure I'm real.
- That is a funny joke fellow human.
Welcome to the future.
Bots creating content for the enjoyment of other bots, while advertisers pay for it.
Lemmys future if Threads is federated.
- I mean maybe! Legitimately worrying.
I mean my mom has been fooled by this sort of thing on email chains for over a decade.
A lot of people just want to believe this kind of stuff.
- Yeah, AI is a new twist here but the concept of misrepresenting images and stories for attention is ageless.
Reality is dead.
Or maybe it's still alive somewhere, but nobody can find or identify it anymore.
Does the entire west coast of the US run on Facebook too? ‘Cuz that was a big unwelcome surprise when I moved to BC.
uh shit gotta get your mom's out of that with mental outlaw reposts
