You know what I never thought I'd be doing? [View all]

Looking at something, and having to ask: "Is that real"?

Now, it is the norm apparently.

You know what I mean, because we see it several times a day now.

See a picture online? Is that real, or AI? It's getting harder to tell by the day.

See a story? Is that real, or bullshit, or AI generated?

I just realized the enormity of this situation, because I find myself asking "Is that real" far too often.

Even with robotic voices...it's getting harder to tell if you are talking to a human or not. So you start talking to the voices as if they were human...but they don't respond naturally.

My opinion: If this AI shit isn't somehow curtailed, it will be the downfall of mankind.

Because everything that man invents that can possibly be useful? Man will fuck it up until it is useless and harmful.

I don't like this.
