this is a form of #AI #brainrot that doesn't get as much press:
we all have biases
some take that so far they would rather reject evidence than reject their biases
we're drowning in the world in such people (the kids in your example are excused, but not adults)
by what method will someone reject evidence?
the old ways
but now: "So Totally AI!"
the new rallying cry of the pridefully ignorant
AI fakes are a problem, yes
but secondarily: doubting everything
far worse

@benroyce@mastodon.social @Ashmire@pagan.plus @Tesseks@mastodon.social I mean, I question everything including myself. Often I find the issue comes when you get too lazy to verify what the actual answer is. But it is nice when people let me know when I'm liking a non-AI photo - or when they let me know (nicely) that I just reacted to AI or a random bot online.
