FORSEEN CONSEQUENCES

Anyone with half a brain would have known that AI would pollute the internet with both useless and dangerous images, videos and information but I'm sure none of us realised how fast this would happen and to what degree.

This John Oliver programme is well worth watching: 

It really is getting to the point where nothing can be trusted and that original creativity is becoming a thing of the past.

This would be bad enough if it was just a dumbing down of creativity, excellence and effort but unfortunately, where the internet and mass media is concerned the scammers, liars, criminals, cheats, pornographers and politicians are having a field day and the general populace, already duped by politicians, mass media and religions will be fucked over even more ruthlessly.

Already Robert's blog pictures are mostly AI generated slop and soon, I guess he will be using AI generated videos. His church will soon be using AI generated imagery and videos at Mass if they haven't already.

I admit that I dabbled a bit with Chat GPT and Meta AI to see what it was about and created a couple of silly images but that stops now. I refuse to be a part of this. I know, I know, I am a bit of a Luddite anyway and deliberately avoid new technology until it becomes impossible to get by without it but I'll hold out for a while. I bought a new phone recently an Apple 16 series that has an option for using Apple Intelligence for writing and designing images and videos. Bah Humbug!

Hopefully this image was actually drawn by a human and isn't AI generated

I think I'm fighting a losing battle though.

Watch the John Oliver clip and, if and when YouTube/Google disappear it from this post search to for it on the internet.
