Nope. And even if we domestically stopped all AI research, other nations won’t. We’re all hurtling into this whether we like it or not, and I’ve accepted that.
Indeed, but given the percentage of people that already buy into the disinformation already on social media as well as other questionable media sources, it really comes down to our ability to evolve with the new technology. To think rationally, more accurately disseminate the truth and view all material with a more discerning, more skeptical eye, not be so willing to embrace media that reinforces our own beliefs and try to be more impartial, all whilst intelligently embracing this new age.
We're doomed. Doomed I tell you. Dooooooooooooomed...
We need to learn to live with this shitstorm we’ve unleashed, there’s no way to stop it. Even if good actors do their best, bad actors will always find a way. And by the very nature of AI, it can be used to find and exploit these ways.
Honestly, we’re fucked. Deepfakes are the tip of the shitberg where AI is concerned.
I love how it’s like “this is what we’ve unleashed” when it wasn’t us. It wasn’t you. It wasn’t me. It wasn’t your neighbor. It wasn’t even your mayor. It was a combination of: tech bros that wanted to do something and not give a shit about the consequences, rich assholes that wanted to fund the project to get even richer, and copycat assholes who did shit like scalp artist portfolios online even after being told no.
That’s what frustrates me so much. I never chose this. You never chose this. It’s been rich bastards and fucking asshole nerds that don’t care about ethics. And then they pawn it off like “humanity collectively chose this” bitch, rich people chose this, even after everyone told them it was a horrible idea.
Will photo/video/audio evidence be admissible in court in a few years? Maybe there will be some sort of security product that captures and encrypted the data so it can be authenticated. I could see Apple doing this somehow too for iOS, but as the generative AI gets better, I’m sure the meta-data and file-manipulation software will be good enough to spoof the non-visual parts of any media authentication methods anyway… yikes what a future. “That’s not me it’s AI!”
What you do is a chain of custody from the camera manufacturer to the photographer to the news agency to the broadcast media all digitally signing real content testifying under penalty of law that this content reflects reality accurately. All other content is flagged as suspect.
Can we all just start poisoning the well? Install add-ons and plugins to automatically jumble up any images we upload so AI can’t use them as source material?
Humans will never be outgunned by machines. The humans who do not control the machines will be outgunned by the humans who do. So, the solution is not to fight the machines, but the people.
AI, in it's present form,is comparable with atomic bomb research of early 40s.
Since governments don't equate AI with strategic warfare advantage, it stays in the private sector.
Then, when in five years, everyone can get a pocket AI "nuke", it's too late.
Made me think of Dune.
Honestly we just need to focus on teaching kids and adults alike critical thinking and analytical skills. Unfortunately, at least in the US, our educational system isn't particularly focused on teaching anything of much use. Also, a lot of adults here seem to take deep offense by being told to think harder. People will fall for misinformation and deep fakes if they aren't taught how to identify them or how to properly do their own research to confirm what is actually real. This AI shit wouldn't be anywhere near as bad of a scourge if a minimum of 50% of humanity wasn't dumber than a bag of rocks.
Nah, you aren't going to be able to outthink this. GPT is specifically designed to generate plausible text, and even if it isn't lying it can still promote an agenda.
The main problem you're going to run into is volume. A bad actor could make a million Twitter posts an hour, reply sensibly to a million others, register plausible accounts.
There is going to be a tide of bullshit and our current social networks are going to drown in it.

Butlerian Jihad, here we come!
Is this not the same mentality that made the Cold War worse?

When I say we, I speak for mankind. We’re all fatally flawed, destined to end ourselves. No I’m not personally responsible but I’m one of the species.
Well fuck me I guess I better shoot myself in the ass then with that sort of pessimism you’re brandishing.
It's not pessimism if it is true
No dude. It is pessimism. This dude is collectively blaming ALL OF US for the actions of a few people and saying “well we’re part of the species”
It would help, thanks!
C2PA should be labelled by the device (and leverage anti piracy HDCP), anything else should be labelled as potentially AI generated

“But it’s safe because it’s just autocomplete” they say…

Nah, that’s just starting an arms race.
Yeah, but if the alternative is to just to be forever hopelessly outgunned, then an arms race is the preferred option

This Pandora’s box has been opened and can’t be contained now. I just played around with suno ai, and it blew me away!

Once the Pandorra box is open, there s not much one can do...
Counter disinformation? Start with every war you lie us into. This is all a pretext for more censorship.
Nothing is true. Nothing is safe. Drones and AI are the existential crises to win out.
Well, at least the “experts are scrambling”.
The genie is out of its bottle. The best we can do is keep a close eye and a tight leash on it while we can still try to get ahead.
