    I’m looking forward to the day when “certified human content” is a thing, and that’s all search engines allow you to see.

    I can’t wait for that. I get the feeling it’s gonna get real messy before we figure out solutions to all the problems caused by AI-generated content.

    I mean yeah, there’s already plenty of human-generated misinformation and shit, but it seems to me (not an expert) like ai is capable of fucking with society on a whole new scale.

      The big difference is that high quality human generated content is often based on reputation, a history of quality content, and frequently reviewed by experts in the field (very common for medical articles).

      But AI has none of that. It’s 100% quantity over quality, and that’s just internet pollution as far as I’m concerned.

      We really do have to figure something out, though.

        China?

        The whole of Pinterest, tiktok and Instagram are using it to make shorts.

            Not to defend China in any way, but its influence over the world is far more economic and profit-driven than militaristic. Often it’s hard to separate China from for profit corporations simply due to how much those corporations rely on chinese industries.

                Look, I’m Latin American. If you are gonna tell me US is more trustworthy and less likely to attempt to undermine other countries and inflict inhumane conditions upon them, I’d suggest for you to read a bit more international history and all the dictatorships they have backed in other countries.

                Do US corporations have any accountabilty? These days, looks like that only applies to their shareholders. I remember those leaks revealing that the US government has more access to internet company data than it lets on.

                Still, I wouldn’t want to live in China either. But as far as getting screwed by companies from other countries, I don’t see much reason to trust one over the other. Any rights and protections that you may have do not apply to me.

                All that considered, between Tiktok or Instagram? They are equally bad as far as I see.

                    Technically TikTok is not actually state run either. But in both cases the governments in question can simply pressure the owners to submit to their demands.

                    If you don’t use Facebook maybe you can speak out against it, but as far as watering down evil goes, no major technology company is innocent.
