Good. Fuck everything about Facebook and their advertising empire. Let it burn.

Hmm. On second thought, I'll fire up A1111 and start making fakes to fuel the fire.

    Good is shortsighted. It will be here too eventually. Fuck Facebook, but hopefully we don't build a weapon that'll hurt us all, though in fully aware we have and are.

    It is already here, half of the article thumbnails are already AI generated.

    Yep, Lemmy is littered with AI art just like everywhere else and if people notice they sure aren't saying anything.

    Who's still using facebook? Oh. Morons. The people least capable of responding well to fake posts.

    It's the normie trap. We made the mistake of letting normies in on our Internet and now we try to contain them on Facebook because they have ruined the Internet.

    Too few people realize this is actually the source of all the world's current problems. We never, ever should have let the normies on here.

    They were even worse before the internet, it's hard to deal with but this isn't even close to as bad as humanity has been.

    Why do you think they were worse before?

    It seems like the Internet has allowed them to band together to reinforce and validate each other's stupidity. I think they're far bolder than before but I'm willing to change my mind.

    Well mostly it comes from my memories of going to the pub before internet adoption was wide spread, Idiots were always the majority but you couldn't prove them wrong and it was difficult to find anyone that would dare express anything but the dumbest groupthink opinion. Like even as late as the start of the Iraq war the level of discourse was unimaginably dumb even compared to your average Facebook group today.

    It's kinda strange, the Eternal September was before my time and now we have whole generations of even tech-affine people who never heard of usenet. Which btw just like email pre-dates the internet.

    Email predates WWW, it's fuzzier to determine if email is older than packet routed internet because both standards evolved in parallel so you have to pick and choose what counts on each end. First use of @ or creation of SMTP? First network with 3+ organizations or creation of TCP?

    AI trained on plagiarized art created by real humans who were not compensated for work that AI companies are now making money on.

    I mean my mom has been fooled by this sort of thing on email chains for over a decade.

    A lot of people just want to believe this kind of stuff.

    Reality is dead.
