I've finally been duped by an AI video, and I don't like it

Saw this video on Reddit:



I didn't notice the two bunnies in the back morphing into one until someone pointed it out, otherwise I wouldn't have known it was AI.

I feel like a threshold has been crossed. I mean, I understood long ago that this day was coming, that eventually we'd reach this point, but now that it's here, I'm pretty fucking unnerved.

I dunno. Just needed to share this. I feel icky.

So many on youtube now. I'll be watching and suddenly words are slurred and I'm like WAIT! lol.
 
I actually like how the mainstream internet and social media has turned to complete shit. Meaning, it was shitty and unbearable before but with the AI slop flooding it it's like the final nail on the coffin. Which makes distancing myself from all this feel like one of the few good choices i made for my own good.
 
AI being all:

This is one that got me.



Had no idea it was AI until days later. Helps that it wasn't in English. I still can't tell it's AI, to be honest.

I figured it was staged--not AI.

Just saw one yesterday and it was a deer jumping on the trampoline and falling out on its neck. These AI videos are so stupid. Especially the ones where VERY old Chinese folks are kung fu fighting.

It's getting flooded with fake stuff.

Some of it, like the "Karen, Unleashed" fake movie trailer are good, but most is just clickbait.

The fake "upcoming vehicle release" stuff is pretty obvious from the thumbnail, but it overwhelms the *real* preview videos.

I saw a terrifying AI video of a dog being fed something and instead he rips the person's head off. Seriously insane, i was not expecting it to be AI.

A good rule is that typically people don't use AI to depict something realistic. If you see a pig start dancing, its not real. Most of these videos showing AI fooling people are visually realistic but 99% show something that is bizarre. Its the equivalent of getting an email saying you have won a prize but you have to give your bank details. Sometimes these emails can look very real but the situation is unlikely. People should approach AI like fraud. If it looks unlikely, it probably is.
 
And soon you'll have the privilege of having to sign in with your personal ID to enjoy that. But hey, the children will be safe /s
 
The ones that fool me are the plausible ones. Emotional support kangaroo where the airline is questioning its validity--outlandish, but I could see it happening and going viral. A cute penguin eating a carrot.

I'm concerned about children who are going to be raised on this stuff. We (hopefully) grew up in a baseline reality where AI wasn't a thing, and so we have (hopefully) better discernment on what's BS and what's not.

But if your baseline perception of reality is shaped by AI videos you can't tell from reality, you're not going to have that discernment.

For example, my niece and nephew watch kids' YouTube videos like where a family fills their entire house up with ball pit balls and has so much fun! It was hard for them to understand why their mom and dad couldn't just do that, too.
 
I'm fucking done with this AI shit already. It's becoming more difficult for me to spot and my poor mom asks me a few times a day if xxxxx she sees on her phone is real or not and it's not easy to tell all the time.

So much disinformation as well. Can't believe nearly anything you ready unless it is from a well known reliable source instead of a third party site just regurgitate the same article.

They'll be fine. Kids will be much better at detecting fake than you'll ever be.

Basically we're suddenly back at pre-photography era, back when information was shared through mostly text, and text could be any old bullshit. Now it's the same again with videos and photos not being a absolute gauge for authenticity. Society managed to run fine before, we'll find a way to run fine after.

I don't think they weigh enough to make the trampoline bounce like that. Looks weird
 
You can clearly see parts of these videos came from somewhere, not sure how it works but it's clearly mixing things up to create this

Anyway, like most people I'm done with AI, this technology is destroying the internet for me and now i can't believe anything i see online, CEOs want to use this thing to replace workers, but when my dumb ass me tried I lost money twice, nearly three times. I can't imagine the spectacular failure once companies lose millions because of AI hallucinations. Microsoft seems to be the only understanding (albeit not telling everyone) that this thing should be used for database research other than anything else (today i tried to contact MS Tech Support, dude was a Indian but it was clear he was using Copilot)

Image and Video Generation should honestly be banned.

Just wait until the next election. Things will look like someone said something and it'll be being shared by that reliable well known source. Or look indistinguishable from it.

Some people will definitely vote based not on what the candidates are saying but on what AI generated videos of them depict them saying or doing and what the reporters and commentators they trust (who'll also be faked - or just acting in bad faith) say about it.

Things were bad enough over the last ten years but the question could well end up being who does Iran, Russia, China want to be in charge? Because there's no reason to think they won't want to use this cheap, freely available tech to make it happen.

There'll of course be domestically produced disinformation, too.

Then the platform holders. Will your favourite Tech billionaire jump to defend democracy and remove unreliable sources? ...or let things slide a little because they had a massive fight with someone up for re-election?

I am quite pessimistic.

All technologies follow a Sigmoid Curve. There are a lot of papers showing current transformer based LLMs cant go much furthrr than what they are now.

I wasn't talking about it getting better, the current quality is good enough to have a massive influence on voting. I'm not saying bad actors are waiting for the tech to improve, I'm saying they're already ready for the next major event that they want to influence to take place.
 
I wonder what far reaching implications that haven't hit us yet stem from audio and video no longer being valid evidence. It was a benchmark of the entire modern era.

This was AI? I saw this video not too long ago, it looks like it was just an edit, swapped her head out with a rubber one filled with a salad.

I've seen it posted over and over with comments and some titles saying it's AI, but I can't actually find the original source w/details now that you ask.

This one is a lot better though it has other weird artifacts, they're not as blatant as bunny morphing and phasing (the OP video has across all rabbits not just background as they stated).

But it goes to show that AI videos are at their best the same place where fake media has always been - low-res, artifact ridden encodes that make it hard to see what you're looking at in the first place.
The AI artifacts don't look so different from compression artifacts at that point...
