That seems like a reasonable decision
Too bad it'll still work for a world leader who looks kinda like his name rhymes with hidin' or disgraced cheeto
This election cycle will be full with AI generated propaganda. Fun times ahead.
I’ve had family member ask me about AI since I’m younger and I tell them every time that they aren’t ready for it at all. Especially in this years elections, AI will be weaponized immediately. Like in a few months the machines will turn on from countries around the world to generate fake images and mountains of fake articles and videos and sound bites. Basically, the average Facebook user will be flooded with misinformation and fakery to the point of overload.
AI stuff is survival of the believable, not reality. So if you can believe it, even just a little, you will reinforce an AI model on the edge of your disbelief and it is designed to perfect delusion and extremism.
This year will end in tragedy. I guarantee it.

If you put it like this, it does not sound that bad - since that is already the case. /not sure if s or not.
When I say misinformation and fakery, I mean that this information won’t be the normal type. It’ll be closer to fabrication or lies where the truth is not even partially represented. Same with fakery. It’s the difference between propaganda editing and straight up CGI or photoshop. The propaganda editing is common. Skew the narrative to the point of misinforming. The other type is not currently common. Because making a believable lie vs a parody of the truth takes more time. But AI can and will change that.
For a while now Facebook has been a place of delusion where a different reality exists for people. This will double or triple that disconnect and will likely drive the whole platform into full post-truth but then also delusional truth. I hope I’m wrong but I doubt it.
I hope they start posting nudes of Biden.
I want a steamey sex tape with both candidates.
Which one bottoming?
Thanks I hate it.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
What about videos of Biden and Trump eating spaghetti?
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
That's nice, but without a law and some kind of real enforcement, nothing is going to change.
