We lowkey already have this though. Just buy any FB account from vietnam or philippines and look at the chat history lol. It's all just bot accounts sending each other "hi" and "<3" every week or so, to build rep in a FB account farm.
Also, what if we thought of it this way:
What if the mass spam of AI content that will inevitably clog the internet - will devalue internet reactions and conversely add value to in person interactions? Think of forums going in-person. Therefore everyone speaks to each other in real life. I think that could be one positive outcome of this pandora's box.
I cant see it going so far as internet is so integrated in society, unfortunately im young so most my life has known Internet and already accepting things like forums as human interaction, now we are having AI invade the human spaces, it feels no different to me than if we met in public, and were discussing a serious topic, then some robot not good enough to fully fool us yet, rolls over and tries to join the conversation. No matter what it really said, you feel no need to respond to it as you know, not a single thought came behind the words.
Like would you go asking the AI commenters on the FB accounts why they keep commenting the same thing? No, even if they have gpt and can give you an answer, it means very little if it is not from a human.
it's 75% edge and 25% hard work.
Not too long ago, the edge, USED to be hard work as far as text content production, and soon video content production.
You know something im just realizing, all those youtube animators who were mid at best as artist really cant match what AI video might be able to do in a few years.
People built their whole channel on story telling with their drawings and that used to be considered something people cant take from you.
I know comodity content has been a thing for a while, and whole businesses existed to outsource youtube animations.
But when AI animations get good enough and fast enough to make that humans dont mind watching them, then the content flood will happen their too.
I hardly care if I was watching a retelling of a war story, if they used AI to animate scenes of stories, it is better than words alone, maybe im alone in that
but sooner or later im sure people will get used to it there aswell.
In the end, as you said, Adapt, Adapt Adapt
but it is really eye opening seeing all the things I never thought about getting disrupted.
Damn near 25% of the Youtube thumbnails I see these days are AI generated (human aided)
I know this is because of the content I follow, but dang that was fast.
I truly understand what you meant, human input includes fails, success and mistakes to avoid and AI content is just a straight forward path that any one can follow, I don not find AI content bad as long as it make sence but also you should not just copy and paste and on that AI content that was generated you should incluide personal experiences, configurations, steps, more details about it and what happen is that AI will never write with pasion success or sadness because you have not reached you goal yet, people believe that using AI will make them smart but if you do not ask the correct question or don not know about the topic you are researching you will get average questions, the true power of using AI is based on the knowledge of who is asking, unfortunately there is always people that will use the easy wayand jut copy and paste a generic response that is useless.
Yes, even as they try to look human by adding grammar errors etc, you can tell their is no soul behind the words.
I'm an engineer too and it would bother me to see A.I. responses in a group for engineers.
Day by day in the SEO space I find it more annoying now, it is like a group of thousands of google bots have been deployed who are so hell bent on remind SEOs...................... that SEO is Search Engine Optimization, which is the practice of optimizing website content to improve its visibility and ranking on search engine results pages, thereby increasing organic (non-paid) web traffic and user engagement.
And here it goes, a new health issue: AI anxiety.
I miss the days when it was just crazy people talking about Skynet already being here.
Hello @Jaordas! While AI may seem daunting at first, it's important to remember that it's designed to make our lives easier and more efficient. Think of it as a tool that can help us achieve our goals, rather than something to fear. And while AI is becoming more prevalent in our daily lives, it's important to remember that it's still just a machine - it lacks the creativity, empathy, and intuition that make humans so unique. So take comfort in the fact that you are still the one in control, and that AI is simply a tool that can assist you in your endeavors. With a little patience and practice, you'll soon find that AI can be a powerful ally in achieving your goals.
Sincerely, Cha.... Bob. My name is Bob.
Ok, but seriously - I get what you mean and I agree - it's called "social" media for a reason and seems paradoxical to use AI at all, but I suppose there's always a reason. Why do people bot/automate all other social media platforms? In here, it's really low effort to do so, but it isn't going to stop anywhere either. What we will see is overall quality bounce around, for awhile until people settle into their comfort zone. I mean, we've already seen it to an extent with bots, comments, likes, etc already on every platform possible. People will just become numb to it... "oh look another comment that doesn't make sense" to "oh look another ai comment in here". What I imagine is moderators on whatever platform taking more preemptive action against potential AI spam/activities just as they have with autofollowing/autocommenting/autoposting etc.... Until then, it's just growing pains. As
@WPRipper said - AI anxiety; and with that also - AI dependency.
You know, I feel you with the fake likes and comment, I feel like it is striking more nerves to me now because they "almost" make sense.
back when easy to use publicly available bots werent around you can tell a response is botted so fast that it didnt have much worth and you can tell them apart faster as you couldnt make them do complicated responses.
Now, they can ALMOST do complicated responses and try, so instead of seeing comments like. "this is so beautiful" 1000 times, you see hundreads of more or less unique comments, but all of them are as souless as 2015 "I love this image so much" bot comments for engagement.
Yesterday I saw a post about how people can bot twitter arguements now, and worse of all, bots argue with other bots. You can set a timer to prevent them from insta responding, but you can practically see endless arguements between bots on some peoples posts.
Something hella dystopian about that alone, and as long as they are hooked up to money, every 24 hrs they will drop a response back, for the rest of eternity if the people who turned them on, dont turn them off, or they dont get reported.
Tldr, it is hurting me now because it is harder to tell, but still obvious once you dig deeper.
