What’s wild about this is that people predicted AI would be used for nefarious purposes, but generally in the form of like, showing your opponents doing crimes. But here it’s being used to show their own side doing crimes while the other side is only made to look “cringy” or more like a stereotype.
It really speaks to the utter depravity of the US right that, given a machine that can generate any video of anything they could imagine, this is what they do. These people are utterly incompatible with any kind of free or even functional society, and I really don’t know what could ever be done fix them or their culture.
If they instead made convincing AI generated videos of some imaginary leftists going first and starting a revolution, then it might not have the intended effect.
I never have to wonder what the Nazis in Germany would have done with modern technology. I wish I didn’t know.

I see people daily due to living in a city and it only makes me hate them more.
But equally of course!
Human psychology is the same no matter the tech.
It just makes it easier.
And deadlier.
If they can’t differentiate between Ai Slop and reality, maybe we should start generating videos of ICE terrorizing Maga people.
They don’t care. They probably convince themselves its based on real antifa videos
The troll farms are disastrous to this country.
The foreign ones or the domestic ones?
Yes
Yes
You don’t even need to hire a “troll farm” now. You can just do it all with AI.
Expect much more of this and soon enough it will be impossible to distinguish between Real and fake videos
We can fix a little with digitally.sigbed videos to at least show that a video came from a verified source but that still won’t fix the issue with leaked videos. Basically, leaked videos and open mike videos / audio clips are over, we can’t ever trust them anymore
I think the article really makes the point that it doesn’t matter. The videos can LITERALLY have a watermark on them from the AI software, and people just dgaf. The battle is lost before it begins.
As with things like quotes and claims that could always be fake, it’s back to the old journalistic practices of verifying sources with a second source. But that means being ignorant of things that were not being investigated by journalists, which creates a different filter bubble.
it’s back to the old journalistic practices of verifying sources with a second source.
that has as a necessary pre-requirement that people are actually interested enough in an objective truth that they’re willing to pay some journalist to do the research.
is that really the case anymore? I can see it being useful in the 20th century when people were interested in new economic developments and stuff
With the way things spread on social media from user generated content it would be hard to get that done I’m sure. Like the video almost everyone saw of Charlie, the video was indeed real but the spread was so beyond control that ot broke almost every filter algorithm on social media. I can’t imagine how much “suppression” talk would be mentioned if we had digitally sign the source even though it would be totally valid. [Viral > Truth]
Confederate psy ops. The civil war is back, you just don’t know it yet.

Even if the images were real, I see a woman using her first amendment right to speech and assembly being assaulted by someone who has sworn to uphold the constitution.

This has to be what trump is seeing over on Truth Social that’s got him thinking cities are burning from protests, or at least that could be what his advisors are showing
How many AI videos of them eating the dogs are there?
Fuuuuck, gaslighting the gaslighter in chief. This is how humanity ends. All bc reality has become trapped within an endless circle of AI generated gaslighting and fuckery thanks to these idiots.
WELCOME TO THE WORRRLD OF TOMOORRROW!
Where truth doesn’t matter anymore.
This is actually pretty scary because they can just put their enemies in the videos to justify arresting people they don’t like
Not much different than grabbing the neighbors and telling them to say a few statements as witnesses, false or true. A new spin on an old game.
A new spin with far more reach.
True I mean without due process nothing will matter
We really are in a post-truth society.
I don’t know. My entire life people have more or less told me the truth is stupid and worthless. Pretty sure were never were a truth society. It’s just that now we have given up the pretense and pretext that it even exists and have decided bullshit is what really makes us happy.
I’m convinced AI content generation was created with the sole intent of manufacturing outrage material for gullible idiots.
because the rate at which these technophobic illiterates have adopted AI, and expertly use it to generate bullshit, is too high to be otherwise plausible.
Lenin dreamt of this kind of propaganda power.
hold up. so now we don’t even have to do anything for this this to escalate?
I mean…if I’m gonna get blamed for cheating I might as well cheat, you know?
Yeah? Kinda the point. Like absolutely nothing was happening in Portland. Nothing at all. But trump sent troops anyway because Portland is such a hellhole. Now there’s protests, but they seem to be far more entertaining and mocking than anything else.
It’s all about normalising boots on the ground in American towns and cities.
Well, if it spreads democracy overseas, stands to reason it will work even better locally.
