So fuckin hate the whole gen AI shit. Now actual proof can be dismissed as AI as well.

Well eventually we'll have "memory transfer from your neurotransmitter or you're lying"

It still does. "If you don't have evidence, that the thing you're claiming happened, it didn't happen", is what that phrase is saying. It doesn't follow, that if you have a pic it definitely did happen.

Wait till we find a way to see into the past... "Chronoscope Coordinates or didn't happen"

It works less and less. You can still distinguish Ai images if you have a good eye for it but it's increasingly more difficult

> The rise of generative AI is the death of picture or video evidence. And the written word, as useful information is buried under mountains of generated trash. > No one to date knows what the real consequences of this will be. Dark Ages II > Call me crazy, but maybe we shouldn't be allowing people to work on such "advances" if they don't have the humanities/social sciences background to understand the consequences. Consequences be damned! We have quarterly earnings reports to worry about!

Hint: photo and video evidence has only been a thing for less than 200 years when photos and videos were invented. So if humanity managed without it before that, it can do so again.

Much the same was said about the printing press, common people with the power to publish and distribute ideas would be the end of civilisation. It wasn't, humanity has always lived fast and loose with its power for invention outstripping its ability to manage it. Comes from the selective pressures on us, find a way to survive now and worry about the long term effects later. Of course it will probably catch up with us one day.

The printing press enhanced the spread of misinformation, as did video, and the internet after it. Hello propaganda! LLMs don't allow for the spread of information like the printing press, video, and the internet because they just vomit stuff out and are completely unreliable because they are wrong even when it isn't intentional.

unfortunately, if ever there was an era of truth, we are now well into a post-truth era. the world is full of, is run on, and is continually generating more: utter bullshit. Not only does "pics or it didn't happen" no longer have any meaning, neither does the stock market or the SEC or any of this rule of law or liberty and justice for all horseshit we were fed as kids in school, or any of that trickle down Reaganomics horseshit our parents and grandparents were fed. AI is only the latest in a long line of advancements in the manufacturing, repackaging, commercializing, re-distilling, and the redistributing of greater amounts of complete bullshit than ever before. It is Bullshit 2.0. It is New Bullshit. Crystal Bullshit, if you're more a bepis fan. Bullshit Classic was what got your parents and their parents riled up in the aftermath of 9/11 -- Fox News and all the other things Rupert Murdoch *infected.* Now, we can get custom, personalized bullshit for each of us parsed through whatever moral lens ChatGPT is paid to have (or, worse, parsed through whatever moral lens Elon Musk gives to Grok). We have "people" acting as little more than a sausage casing for an OpenAI/Claude API key churning out more infuriating bullshit on the internet every waking minute of the day (and some of them, I'm almost certain, automate some of this during the night while they sleep). And in any form you like -- text, audio, video -- we have bullshit generators for any and every sort of media you like. Whatever makes the narrative they want to push just that *little bit* more believable to the gullible. what a wonderful world indeed.
