[36] trust in the sea of AI
Hello
Last year I thought I can definitely tell which media was AI and which was not. I looked at the 3D like texture, weird uncanny patterns and number of fingers. This year, AI fooled me twice, in a form of video. Until someone called it out and I made my own cross checking that I realized it was AI. How can I trust my judgement after this?
If I ever stop using the internet and one day I'll need to look up on something, will it be real and the actual facts? I've read about the dead internet theory, something about everything is bot and empty interaction. Soulless, non human and made up things flooding the net. It's not one year problem, but it spread even faster than I remember.
It sound exhausting to even thinking about it. Navigating which is real or not. Adding reddit at the end of my search bar just to filter the paid, sponsored websites with the genuinely clueless human being asking strangers' opinion. After so many years of wonder the internet has brought us, I can't imagine the frustration it left us. I guess the connection and trust will bring us back from the uniform generative content. It's just where do we find those again when everything replicate and made up by itself?
I can't stop people from using AI the way they want to use it, but I can try to not engage with that content. In the end, we do need connection and foster our real life community. Doing the same on net, interacting with real human instead of liking the generated content. Curate our pages with human creator that put their time and effort. Create conversations in comment section, or just like it (if you're shy). A small change from everybody.
AI asmr content annoys me,
