How does survivorship bias apply to seeing less AI? Does it mean that it’s like hidden now or something? I don’t get the meme!! 😭

It means you've lost the ability to identify it, BC there isn't any less of it

You would expect that the amount of people complaining about ai generated images would cause people to avoid using them

Why?

I've definitely noticed more assholes responding with chatbot generated arguments.

And don't call it ai. Industry buzz term. Anti-labor anti-human anti-ai.

Nah, now they're actively taking the work of anti-AI artists, feeding them into AI, and then sending it to them.

I block people who routinely post it.

And it turns out a lot of algorithm driven platforms will stop showing it if you react overwhelmingly negatively and refuse to engage with it and I just stoped using platforms that didn’t respect the signals.

Why should i not use a term that has been in use for at least a decade? I have specifically mentioned ai generated images to not have it included with the actually useful ai

It has existed since at least the 1960s,probably earlier, and been common use among SciFi nerds since at least the 80s.

This is not ai. We do not have ai. Nothing currently extant was made with the existence of ai, because ai does not exist at present. If we ever do invent ai, you're going to look like an excitable wide eyed bigot and it's going to look cringe as fuck. In the meantime it is used to create buzz and bullshit lies to discipline labor. Contributing to that PR push by using their dishonest language is an active strike against the power of workers, organized and not. It also takes research dollars flops etc from real ai research, which used to be a thing, and would be pretty cool to have around.

I'll spare you the explanation of why it's anti human. Be a tool of the oligarchs or don't.

for me it reads:

survivor bias, ww2 south pacific combat, some anime character... and the realization that the algo doesn't send ai slop your way because even the algo is smart enough to know you aren't going to engage. but it's certainly out there, in droves. see: boomers

dunno anything about the anime tho.

It's so hard to get people to realize, especially the ones adherent to it, LLMs are not AI.

it's a roided-up eliza racing to finish a sentence, it's dashing towards token percentages, and can't rationalize much less create.

depressing how common this is.

There's not supposed to be a content-aware algorithm on Lemmy, is there?

May I suggest a 20+ year old CRPG made by interplay alumni who also made Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines? It's called Arcanum and it's absolute crack if you like Fallout 1 & 2, it's also notably more broken because it uses real time combat by default which is kinda annoying for mages, gunslingers, and molotov spammers.

I think it's supposed to be you see less AI posts because they've improved to the point that it's harder to tell what is and isn't AI.

Most of the things people make with AI lose their appeal once it's known it's fake. For that I don't understand why people bother making it then.

Seems like it's people who are incapable of making things without it, so they don't really have anything to compare it to

Languages evolve and change. What you described is called "AI" now whether you like it or not.

That's literally the point of the meme: that there's a point where it's gotten good enough that you can't tell. And some models are at that point. That's why legitimate artists are now getting accused of using AI and finding it very hard to prove to people that they're not.

ok, so, you do realize there are feeds out there - youtube, tiktok etc., that are overflowing with ai slop? when I look at other people's feeds, they're being served up shittons of the garbage. I've been blocking those sources for ages now; and very little slop seeps through. when it does, I block / report. and tiktok, insta, low value resources just never get engaged with in the first place.

Does this stop everything? Well, these days, the hank green types are the biggest vector.

Then again, it's generally pretty easy to pick out when it's like this:

Are you just so gullible that it's easy to fool you with garbage?

How confident are you in your ability to define and block "slop"? Because the "slop" of today is very different in quality from the slop of even 6 months ago. In some cases it is literally indistinguishable

happy to take the pepsi challenge if you want.

I get that there's boomers out there that can't tell midjourney from their assholes, but I've consistently done well on tests like https://sightengine.com/ai-or-not and https://hfarid.org/misc/AIorNotQuiz/, and I've worked in computer graphics for 30+ years.

YMMV
