Glad to be here, witnessing the death of the internet as we know it here together. I'm pretty sure most of you are real so let's enjoy the show together before we all go outside again!

As the internet lay dying I wondered if I should be crying A great gift to mankind is losing it's mind

Should we should stay? Say the friends we made along the way

Who are we without web? But who, is the web without the we?

Even as we grief and leave

Remember.

There is no web without the we And where we go the web will be

There was a brief window before this mess where we used to be unsure if things were cake or not, I long for those simpler times.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

This is why I accept everything as true.

[–] cattywampas@lemmy.world 74 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Go outside and you won't have to ask.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 107 points 11 hours ago

Me going outside:

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 18 points 11 hours ago (4 children)

People are just as fake as AI

[–] jared@mander.xyz 29 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

The animals and plants are pretty cool.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Some of them. I'm not a fan of poison ivy, or geese.

[–] snek_boi@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 hours ago

Or prion diseases or parasites that invade brains.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Very few things are as fake as AI... and my best guess is most of them frequent some national Congress building.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago

If it fakes people then it's fake^2^

[–] Bluegrass_Addict@lemmy.ca -3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

ai is false so much because it's just pulling all the nonsense garbage created by humans, and moreso corporations. it doesn't think, it just regurgitates garbage on the web and pushes it as factual.

all those meme images, and one liners and make believe stories that are just making fun or stuff when we (typically) know it's sarcasm/false etc.., yeah... ai don't care - that's just facts to it and presents it as such.

ai could have been amazing, if the internet wasn't riddled with jokes, memes, false info etc etc etc but here we are.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Hear that guys??? It's time to get serious! No more joking around!

So a jew, a catholic, and a muslim walk into a bar......and things were pretty akward from across the room.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world -2 points 3 hours ago

Way i see it. If i can't tell, it don't matter

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 hours ago

Wait till your phone start generating fake photos of your past to gaslight you

Hell, any digital journals you keep could be a fake one replaced by AI

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 12 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Do you really think there’s a 50 foot tall transparent cow out there?

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Of course there's not a transparent cow out there. But there is a giant blue ox.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 27 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

The genie is out of the bottle, but at some point, LLM/image-gen providers are going to have to raise prices for their services. While this won't do anything to stop self-hosters, it might cut down on the number of casual users just a tiny bit. At least I hope it will!

[–] 474D@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

Unfortunately realistic image gen can already be done locally on consumer hardware at the cost of additional rendering time. The cat is out of the bag. And while local video gen is pretty easy to spot, the models just keep getting faster and better at a scary rate.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 1 points 4 hours ago

Oh definitely. But setting up local solutions requires enough time, effort, know-how, and hardware that's getting more expensive by the minute, meaning that a lot of regular Joe & Jane Blows who got used to free ad-supported options or cheap pay-to-play services might drop out of the game.

Of course, anyone sufficiently motivated to generate images/video at scale is already building out their infrastructure regardless of cost since, presumably, they are going to be state-actors or mercenary influence operations.

I wonder where it would leave the millions of Facebook/Twitter social media engagement-farmers, once their marginal costs start to skyrocket.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 11 points 10 hours ago

The genie is out of the bottle

This is a lot more like Pandora's Box - all the evils have been let loose.

[–] burgermeister@sh.itjust.works 18 points 11 hours ago

Oh it's gonna be

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

There could be two major attacks.

First is pricing realism. Just like many pre-IPO products, it’s trying to gain interest. Someday, it has to make money, meaning everyone with a cheap/cheesy idea will need to pay for it.

The second is legislative attacks related to copyright infringement. I’d see it as a progressive legislator asking them for lists of permission from every image author they’ve grabbed from. Inevitably, they profess “We don’t have that!” And the model is blocked. Admittedly, that is not something I see happening soon, but it’s something to hope for.

[–] MacaqueAndCheese@lemmy.ca 10 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

You know I used to think ai was pretty cool because I read a lot of sci-fi and in most sci-fi ai is a very useful tool but now that I've been living in reality for a good 2 years I've noticed that maybe this ai just isn't very nice. It's like that time I meet weird ai Yankovic and thought it was the real Weird Al but all he did was regurgitate edgy talking points and send me videos of giant boobed women dancing.

Needless to say, Bob Barker was pretty cool.

[–] arudesalad@piefed.ca 13 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Ai IS cool. LLMs and ai art and most forms of generative ai ISN'T cool.

One of my favourite examples of ai being capable of doing good when it isn't being controlled by a trillion dollar bubble is alpha fold

[–] kadu@scribe.disroot.org 12 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

You know I used to think ai was pretty cool because I read a lot of sci-fi

You read a lot of sci-fi and your conclusion was the AI is depicted as good????

[–] MacaqueAndCheese@lemmy.ca 0 points 11 hours ago

Of course, who doesn't want their air supply cut off on a far away planet

[–] ReCursing@feddit.uk -3 points 10 hours ago

Then don't

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world -1 points 11 hours ago

Chatters...

[–] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 11 hours ago

Just don't question it, why bother? :3
