This is an AI generated image

Millions of normalgays on social media have been conned by this AI generated image of Pope Francis wearing a puffer jacket.

How is society going to cope with the absolute avalanche of fake news and images that AI generation is going to enable? In a year's time the images that can be generated will probably be completely indistinguishable from real life photographs.

This shit is going to utterly destroy our sense of reality. How will humans cope with living in a world where it is totally impossible to distinguish between what's real and what's AI generated?

              I never said do the opposite. Again, you're sperging and putting words in my mouth. I simply meant that the elite often have ulterior motives for what they do. Example: I may want gay rights for reasons of liberty. They may want it so they can co-opt the movement and use flamboyant nutjobs to turn the right against the movement and create conflict. Considering we've cought undercover agents in both Jan 6 and BLM protests, this isn't exactly far-fetched.

      People need to be aware of this problem. This AI generation shit is going to completely destroy reality as we know it, and yet I don't see anybody talking about it. Or if they do talk about it, they somehow act like it isn't going to be a problem.

      We need to have a very serious conversation, as a species, about how the frick we are supposed to operate in a world where the very concept of "reality" no longer actually exists. When every photograph, video, and record of human civilisation becomes utterly unbelievable because AI can just fabricate something of identical quality.

      Imagine how bad this shit can be in the hands of governments. The state can now fabricate 100% realistic "evidence" of events that never actually happened and normalgays will be none the wiser.

        [...]
        Because:

        1. Not everybody could photoshop. The vast majority of shops that went around the internet 10-15 years ago were of dogshit quality. There was a brief period of time where you could fool morons and old people into thinking some image of Barack Obama shopped into Muslim prayer clothes was real, but most people quickly became immune to such trickery. With AI generation, things are different because literally anybody can make this shit, you don't need to be well-versed in image editing, you just need the right hardware and software and you can just tell the AI to generate whatever you want.

        2. The ceiling for AI image generation is much higher. Even the best of the best photoshops were not real-life quality. Eventually, AI will be able to generate images totally indistinguishable from a real life photograph. What do we do then? How do we trust anything anymore?

        [...]
        >so? do people need a reminder not to trust everything they see on the internet?
        Yes. Most normalgays are fricking moronic. They believe whatever social media tells them is true. If there's an image of some fake shit generated by AI getting retweeted 100,000 times, and it looks real life quality, do you really think they're going to even question whether it's real or not? No, they will just believe it.

        >this kind of fear mongering is obvious at this point. people like you are going to cry to the government for a regulation, is that better? this is what you want right?
        Unironically yes. This AI shit needs to be outright banned. I don't care if you cry "BUT NNNOOOO YOU'RE IMPEDING PROGRESS YOU HECKIN LUDDITE!" This shit is going to destroy civilisation and the very basis of reality as we know it.

        You type like a gay and your shits all moronic
        This was from 2016 and out in the open, what do you think was behind closed doors?

        Photoshop has been making better fakes than AI for over a decade you panic ridden moron, there is nothing remotely new about this from a world government perspective, crush the bitrate and framerate on a video feed and you wouldn't be able to tell CGI from reality right now either, yes if you have two 4K feeds right by each other you can tell, but if the "only" footage around is low quality from a "war camera" then you would have no chance telling a fake from a real one, but shockingly this doesn't happen as much as you assume it would, as can be inferred from eye witness testimonies and accounts from both sides of a conflict being weighed against each other.

      Yes, this image isn't perfect, and the flaws are obvious once you examine it for more than a few seconds. But it is already good enough to convince thousands of normies that it's real, and to get upvoted to the front page of Reddit and shared on Twitter, /misc/, etc.

      Now imagine how good AI generated images are going to be in a year's time. They will probably be photo-realistic quality. We are totally fricked.

    Because:

    1. Not everybody could photoshop. The vast majority of shops that went around the internet 10-15 years ago were of dogshit quality. There was a brief period of time where you could fool morons and old people into thinking some image of Barack Obama shopped into Muslim prayer clothes was real, but most people quickly became immune to such trickery. With AI generation, things are different because literally anybody can make this shit, you don't need to be well-versed in image editing, you just need the right hardware and software and you can just tell the AI to generate whatever you want.

    2. The ceiling for AI image generation is much higher. Even the best of the best photoshops were not real-life quality. Eventually, AI will be able to generate images totally indistinguishable from a real life photograph. What do we do then? How do we trust anything anymore?

Even the most skilled Photoshop user too hours to make a decent Photoshop , you can generate this stuff and edit it with inpainting in less then 5 minutes.

      But let's say somebody uses AI generation to create more believable fake imagery of the Pope. What if somebody uses it to generate a photo-realistic image of the Pope groping a little boy's ass? And it gets a gorillion retweets and upboats on Reddit from morons who believe it confirms their suspicions that all Catholics are pedophiles? And then they dismiss anybody who says that its fake as a "right-wing bigoted Christian shill"? Do you see how bad this shit could get?

          We will simply have to live in a world where photographs, or any physical evidence, are as trustworthy as text. You wouldn't believe something some random moron told you on the internet, would you? In the future, only trusted sources independently corroborating evidence will be able to be trusted. It's nothing new; this was the status quo before photography.

        That's just the surface of potential.
        We're going to see AI bots that can perfectly solve any captcha making millions of accounts to updoot pics like that but not before they've spent years posting on these accounts acting like they're real human beans, making "personal" posts and building fake lives online that are indistinguishable from regular human posting. They'll be trained to engage normal people to convince them of some point without giving away what they are. They'll even get into heated arguments with anybody with anything that contradicts what they say and potentially even dox and harass them.
        One day the story of a WoW player who killed himself is going to get posted here who spent YEARS becoming extremely close and attached to his "guildmates" and even confessed his undying love for one of them and we're going to all laugh big time when it turns out they're all run by Chang in China trying to gold farm but never checked his bots so they just did their thing to fit in. Then we all argue whether or not it's actually real because it's impossible to tell and then have to close BOT because the AI generating CP bots started again and it's not worth being raided.

No, they will just believe it.

Social media validation isn't as fun if you can be sure that you aren't shoving the best aspects of your life in a real person's face. Drama isn't as fun if there isn't at least some feeling that it's real, which will be out the window if video evidence can be easily faked.

            Those people are legit fricking morons.
            You must understand that there is no answer to that and AI won't be responsible for anything else they believe either, despite the memes there are genuine flat earthers after all, they only prove that there is no actual way except for an overhaul of schooling worldwide to combat gullibility and susceptibility to provable misinformation to reduce the number of blithing morons thinking crap like that.

              I know, and after all such people existed years ago before image generation was feasible. But I wonder if this tech will exacerbate it, because it'll be easy to say "Oh, that's just made up by AI!" to anything you don't like, or point to some zero-effort hoax images that support what you want to believe that really was made up by AI.

    why is his skin reflecting light in the same way as his coat, that's how you know, this shit always bleeds into itself because it's basically like an image auto-complete, it's a denoiser.

    someone maybe already mentioned it, but i heard about this thing in passing once
    theres a theory that humanity is starting to come into "post-history", that is to say that any new information coming out now can't be trusted or verified because AI generation is too good, so the only information that can be trusted is before a certain point in modern history
    personally, i can see some truth in that theory, especially after seeing the reaction to that jpg

    You never could trust photos and videos, AI just makes it easier to lie to people.

    >How will humans cope with living in a world where it is totally impossible to distinguish between what's real and what's AI generated
    I know what is real or is not purely based on what is happening in my head.
    Ai images can be real, real pictures can be fake.
    Like I know that pope Francis is the devil's pope.
