- appointment 1y agoThe whole point is to make people believe in nothing. When all news is fake, no news matter.

This does not change my point that this is a dangerous game to play: if people believe in nothing, they will also not believe in what "those in power" or the government wants them to believe. People who have no trust in such entities have a lower "emotional barrier" to overcome to turn against such entities.

- latexr 1y agoI have no doubt that will happen. And bad actors will definitely try to use “it was AI” to discredit real things they’ve done. Musk as already tried to pull that stunt. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/apr/27/elon-musks-statements-could-be-deepfakes-tesla-defence-lawyers-tell-court https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/apr/27/elon-musk...
- UncleMeat 1y agoI don't even think there is this much thought involved. There's two things happening. There are true believers who think that AI is legitimately magic and should be put into every product and then there are people who are putting AI into every product because their director or VP thinks that AI is legitimately magic and is insisting that they put it in every product. Brainstorming sessions aren't "how can we solve problem X for users" but are instead "where can AI change our product."
- happosai 1y agoNever attribute malice where bad incentives suffice. Someone's KPI was to sprinkle AI. And someone got it by shoehorning "AI enhancement" in place of the previous sharpen + Denoise filter at YouTube.
