A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I'm shocked i haven't seen captchas of the form "choose which image is AI generated"
People who use Lemmy would be able to tell the difference most of the time, but the average person would have zero idea.
Just look at any of the YouTube videos with obviously AI generated clickbait thumbnails that get 10s of millions of views. Or all of the shitty obvious Photoshop thumbnails that existed before AI.
No, nope they wouldn't. Generally speaking when I explain why something posted here is AI, I get upvoted, when I explain why something is unlikely to be AI, I get at best controversial votes, while next to me a post with the equivalent of "I can tell by the pixels" is getting upvoted. It's very rare for someone to chime in and actually discuss the case in an exploratory manner.
There's already plenty of drama within the artist community over false AI allegations. Accusations from people who should know better than accuse someone of using AI because "the shading is too good while the hands are too bad". Why the hell would lemmy be better at this than artist twitter.
Here's a quick intro on how to spot AI art, and, crucially, how not to.
Friend, I am talking about pictures that look like this:
Which was sent to me by someone, along with a bunch of other similar images, by someone who thought it was a real photo.
I am talking about thumbnails generated by early DALL-E, where people's faces are melting.
Yes everyone on lemmy is both mentally and physically superior to the average "normie", who is completely incapable of rational thought.
It's more like people on Lemmy know what to look for and generally have a hatred of AI "art," so they're looking to spot it.
How much of it is confirmation bias though?
Exactly they are just smarter, their brains are more attuned to being right
finally someone who gets it
Instead they give you 9 AI Generated Images that kinda sorta look like the thing you're supposed to click on.
