    Damn, seeing all those AI generated images being taken at face value just makes me lose my faith in humanity.

      I wonder how many of the comments / other interactions are also falsely generated.

        I assume the vast majority.

      The one thing I’m holding out hope for is that things like this won’t lead a significant number new people into getting duped.

      There’s a certain portion of the population that seems to question nothing and got duped long ago by all of those “every immigrant is a rapist and murder”-type Facebook posts with links to totallyrealnews.com. That segment of idiots remains unchanged. They will believe any wild claim and never fact check as long as the misinformation fits their world view.

      The question is, how many people who aren’t already lost see these low-effort AI posts and take them at face value?

      Disclaimer: I say this knowing full well that well that better quality and more subtle misinformation is also possible with AI, but this ain’t it.

      Given that Facebook’s primary userbase at this point is made up of middle-aged/elderly folk, it isn’t all that surprising to see so much of this slop taken at face value tbh. Still disheartening, though.

      These pictures remind me of YouTube thumbnails with fhe style of over emphasized visuals and it makes me wonder if people got accustomed to that style and that makes it easier to pass the BS test.
