Anyone else very uncomfortable with AI popping up in every aspect of our lives?

It's everywhere. Entire music albums are being created in minutes, movies made without a single actor, and apparently some someone I thought was real on the phone for Bank of America was entirely AI the other day. Some weird shite. I can't even imagine how teachers and professors are dealing with this in the academic world.

And don't forget your dumb arse coworkers who use it to write their emails. Like come on bro, a year ago you could barely form a coherent sentence, and now you're spitting out 5 paragraphs of bullshite and ending your emails "With warmest regards," GTFO of here with this shite. Lunch rant over.

Unplugging is becoming so much more rewarding.

I think the fact that it is now impossible to truly know whether something is AI or not will actually nudge people towards more in-person interaction. The AI shite won’t go away, of course, but people will actually go insane from consuming a simulacrum of reality.

AI generated content ranges from mildly annoying to intentionally harmful.

The altered videos portrayed as authentic that people post on here and the genuine reactions gullible posters have to them is scary.

NPR ran a story where over half of teens admitted to using apps like ChatGPT for social conversation.

I somewhat agree with you about gullible people, but AI is getting so good now common even fairly skill people cannot tell the difference. Social media is going to have to make some kind of changes soon to tag these AI images and photos along with the videos if they want people to keep using them. I personally have really slowed down on scrolling things just because so many of them are fake, which are not interesting to me.

I don't know what they're going to have to do to tag these, my initial thoughts would be whoever creates them on whatever platform is used. We have to tag anything AI issued in order for people to be able to sort them or users are going to stop scrolling.

In this world we live in where AI is consuming almost every aspect of our existence, I can't help but think of this quote from Henry David Thoreau:

"Most of the luxuries, and many of the so called comforts of life, are not only NOT indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind"

He wrote this in the 1840s, and he was right.

I use it at work to help with code syntax and suggestions on efficient ways to solve a technical issue. It is very useful in that space.

I have colleagues that cannot even write an email without it now.

“AI”

So tired of this misused term.

Family members and Friends send me reels and shorts that are obviously fake and are completely confused if I tell him so. I'll go into the comments and most of them love it. They are getting better and better every day, maybe if it kills the internet it will be a good thing?

I see this from older family members on social media. Hell, I see it from people on here. It makes me want to pull the plug on the entire internet until we can figure this shite out.

We're boned.

I agree. There needs to be some sort of identifier, but even then, I worry. I've had people on here respond to a fake video and when it is pointed out to them the video is fake, they'll double down with something like "Well, even if this is fake, this stuff is still happening". I'm not sure if it's out of embarrassment that they fell for it or straight ego, but in those cases, the creator got exactly what they wanted, an emotional response.

I don't like it, at all. That thread some older gentlemen posted on tOT awhile back about AI diagnosis replacing his doctors or whatever it was absolutely floored me. I've used it to check up on sports stats to double check, and the answers it spits out are woefully wrong. I've tried it for other things as well, work related, and it isn't even accurate on the basic stuff.

I don't like it, it isn't reliable and I don't trust it once it becomes even more pervasive. We all know nefarious actors will, and probably already have, manipulate its output. We've all already see how Google has politically manipulated its search results.

Nothing good can come from this.

I just don’t get this phenomenon at all. Who are all these people sending out emails that need to convey something beyond their own thoughts? It just seems like a completely unnecessary pointless extra step.
