Yay for labeling slop as slop

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think it’s dangerous honestly. Because something missing the AI tag will be considered more authoritative even if it’s mislabeled.

If the tags were 100% accurate I’d agree that it would be a good thing, but that’s mathematically impossible.

Also, stuff that gets mis-labeled as AI can be just as dangerous. Especially when you consider that the AI detection might use such labels to train itself. So someone who's face is weirdly symmetrical might get marked as AI and then have hard time applying for jobs, purchasing things, getting credit, etc.

I want to know what counts as AI. If someone uses AI to remove the background in an image or just to remove someone standing in the background is technically generative AI but that's something you can do in any photo editor anyway with a bit of work.

Why can’t we western wankers have those?

There are very few things the chinese government does right. This may be one of them.

[–] BETYU@moist.catsweat.com 7 points 3 days ago

so one of the most censord and biggest social media sites in the world will label ai generated contend while Chinese ambassadors post ai generated propaganda on x. that's just funny.
