Kiss reality goodbye: AI-generated social media has arrived

From the article 

OpenAI released the Sora app on Tuesday, just days after Meta released a similar product as part of its Meta AI platform. NPR took an early look and found that OpenAI’s app could easily generate very realistic videos, including of real individuals (with their permission). The early results are both wowing and worrying researchers

Because of shit like I this i stopped using social media and have been trying to fill my time with real tangible hobbies and ways to kill time.

Let’s ramp up the enshittification, time to put the manipulation tools into the hands of the users to turn on each other and drive influence stats devoid of relation to reality.

It’s just an upgraded version of the bots used already.

I’m not worried. Here’s the thing, social media is about following your close circle of friends. Anything beyond that shouldn’t matter and you’d know your friends and family. It’s a also a good reason for social media detoxing.

This is good because it will help self aware users of social media use it for connecting to people they know and not celebs and influencers.

Oh boy. Just when we were mopping the floor after the latest AI slop flood, a tsunami of empty uncanny content is looming in the horizon and will inevitably be crashing on us… Can you imagine how many megabytes of data, how much GPU power is wasted in generating lobster jesus and fruits made of glass being cut by a knife.

Why would I care about what the fake people are pretending to do and say?

Social media works because humans are social creatures. Fake people just aren’t as interesting.

It only works until you know it’s fake and then you’re repulsed by the deception.

No, this isn’t “kiss reality good bye.” This is “kiss the internet providing any value whatsoever good bye.” The internet will be so saturated with A.I. slop that we’re all going to have to return to living in reality. A.I. will cause the Internet to become a snake that eats it’s own tail.

Arrived? Been around for years now. It’s all fake. Nothing is real.

Fuck this. Been practicing my flute, writing in a paper journal, reading books. Don’t let this shit rot your brain

Been seeing it for a while and every time it reminds me that I’m wasting time on social media and I should get off and go do pretty much anything else. So in a round about way it’s actually pretty useful at reducing my social media time.

‘Reality’, at best ‘social’ media show a pretty damn narrow part of the ‘reality’ of someone so to be honest, the difference isn’t really that big between just plain AI bullcrap and a very, very selective window. Especially not when it comes to an ‘influencer’. The very high levels of fake bullshitting just become easier and more accessible, no need to en-scene whatever, just AI-crap the stuff together. Some wiseguy will call it ‘democratisation’ while pulling a very serious face.

The worst part is people wanting to share stuff with you but not realizing its AI slop. Can we require a huge “AI” watermark on this stuff cuz im getting fatigued

On the plus side, it could bring an end to influencers.

This is not social media. It’s a choose you own adventure fictional book.

Done with social media (obviously outside of whatever Reddit is). Although I’m seriously reconsidering my use of Reddit as well. Really trying to pare it down to tangible interests.

I feel like social media stopped being real about when meta decided to sell out to the highest political bidder.
