There have already been scams involving stealing a phone, finding the phone owners grandmother in contacts, and using AI-generated videos and images to pretend like they’re holding her granddaughter hostage and getting her to pay.
All the advantages of kidnapping for random with a fraction of the risk.
These guys didn’t invest a trillion dollars into making fake cute animal videos for your grandmother. If these are the only customers they are getting they are completely fucked.
I really hope people remember why they don’t let you use a calculator in elementary school and apply that to AI.
You need to know the fundamentals of the topic to make effective use of a tool. If you know nothing on the subject then you can’t instruct the tool correctly to produce a good product
I’m also extremely tech savvy (and working in IT for decades). While I sometimes use a llm for assistance the main reason of doing that sparsely is thst it’s a slippery slope. You never know when a hallucination might hit you.
So basically misinformation silently crawls in. I don’t want that to happen.
Ouch, that stings. Like the time my coworkers labeled me IT illiterate because I had logged into the work laptop with a different account (and nobody remembered what the usual login was).
I think the flow is, create a group with many followers by posting slop, then sell the group to someone else so they can rename it and market their product to existing follower base. The product in question usually being some kind of scam.
My mom keeps sending me AI videos of animals doing silly things. I tell her it’s AI every time.
Her latest response: “Oh everything’s AI with you” and now she’s mad at me. We’re cooked.
Send her an ai video of her falling off a couch or walking into a wall.

that’s just business as usual

They’re not. I know plenty of people irl who use Ai for everything.
Even my father who’s extremely tech savvy and mechanically adept uses it for even the simplest questions.
There are plenty of people that believe ai is an extremely useful tool.

so go touch grass… or is that like so last years?
A little out of context. Although tech is my life, it’s never been social media or things like that.
So in a way I am very much permanently touching grass (had to look that up / language barrier).
The psychological issue with llm and hallucination is that humans lose the ability to judge the output, whether you touch grass in between or not.
Verifying all output is almost impossible and at scope completely defeats the purpose.
Yeah, when you don’t know a field it help. Your no expert by you can get things done. Technical debt is a later problem.

Has anyone figured out how money is being made from these shitty videos? There are so many of them and they have to be generating revenue for someone.
Interaction= more reach, more reach = more/better deals for sponsorships/endorsement.
The silly videos may not be monetized, but the algorithm might show you their next post that was paid for

This one ☝️ and they definitely don’t turn the groups into radical political ones afterwards
So much of the internet is dedicated entirely to identifying and collecting idiots for targeted scams.
The internet changed so much since being a rest from crushing reality of real life, hasn’t it?
It’s a self sustaining economy
I think there is ad revenue on some Facebook videos for creators, no?
Haha, that response is the same me and my daughter hear…
