This video by "Regular Eyepatch Wolf" is a bit of a reality check on the spread of AI content for those of us who have been aware this is happening and maybe just ignoring it.

@futurebird the issue of fake content has become the top reason why I’ve all but stopped sharing things I come across on the internet. Have thought of sharing more about the sort of work I do instead. Some other folks on here do that, and I like it. At least I’d know that what I’m sharing is real and not made up, although it would prolly interest four or five people tops lol
I really do not need a fake Jamaican man telling me to put coconut oil on my hangnail or whatever. It just makes me sad that I almost never get to hear real Jamaican accents as much as I did when I used to visit my auntie. The man is a fake ghost and everything is wrong. It's like a nightmare.

Honey is an amazing food and tastes wonderful ... especially if you know a beekeeper and can get some comb. It feels great to eat and needs no processing so you can feel like a bear in the woods just munching on nature.
Isn't that enough?
Why isn't that enough? Why do we need to make stuff up?
@futurebird @cjewel @paco supposedly bears don't really care about honey they just like eating bees

@waitworry How many Scovilles is a bee sting on the tongue?

It also really annoys me when the AI pet videos show a dog or cat making a face that I know means the animal is constipated or about to throw up... but it kind of looks like a "smile" if you don't know pets very well and it's played that way.
"aw he's so happy"
As silly as pet videos are the real ones could at least show you things about who the animals really are. The fake ones just use signals that make sense to people and get more views. They entrench ignorance.
@futurebird @dvandal I really hope all this AI slop onslaught forces the next generation growing up to examine and own up to our vulnerabilities.
Somehow I think it will become a necessary survival skill. And as humans do best, we adapt.

@futurebird @cjewel @paco 10g on my plain oatmeal every morning, sourced as locally as shops here will allow it on the off-chance the whole "this will help with your seasonal allergies" thing is true. It's an absolute delight!
But to the discussion as a whole, my MIL absolutely cannot recognize AI content, images or videos. This was true of the 6 finger era as it is now, when things are way more uncanny valley. My daughter has to continually point out the slop she shares in the family group chat.
I don't blame her, especially for feel-good stuff. It looks real and we *want* to believe it.

It _won't_ help with your seasonal allergies but eat it if you enjoy.

@tehstu @futurebird @cjewel @paco While I'll acknowledge it's getting hard to parse out slop artifacts at first glance/listen (and occasionally real stuff can look/sound like slop because it's been so overprocessed & filtered for mobile)…
…I still pick it up almost immediately.
I would say it's shocking to me how some people seem entirely unable to tell the difference, but then I remember decades of design work where certain clients couldn't tell what I'd changed. "All looks the same to me!”

I hate the tactic of telling people what they want to hear "you don't need a doctor just rub honey on it!"
Wouldn't that be amazing were it true?
@futurebird @capnthommo @paco “Authorities baffled by huge increase in number of bear attacks.”

@futurebird @paco If honey were an actual remedy, it would cost $1200+ a jar and insurance wouldn't pay for it.
@cjewel @futurebird @paco
There is such a thing as sterilized medical grade honey. It's used sometimes in hospitals for wound care and skin conditions. Honey has antimicrobial and healing properties but regular honey can have bacteria spores in it. -

Mr. REW is almost touching in his innocence, but I think this is where a lot of people are right now "you mean all of this is just ... slop?"
There is also the added bonus of digital yellow-face and black-face... and "don't trust doctors" too.
It's kind of depressing.

@futurebird I follow him (he does a lot of in-depth analysis of weird media — his video about Garfield is epic) so this popped up in my feed. He gets chewed out in the comments, "What you're just realizing this now??" but I think the way he walks the viewer through the emotional steps is good to help people who are just now realizing some things or who may not understand why people are against AI.

@futurebird @johncormier I had to put my hand in front of the scene every time the fake Jamaican was playing. Horrifyingly uncanny.
