I hate AI art and think it’s just soulless, derivative pixels
I look at it like the modern equivalent of newspaper political cartoons, or maybe as an evolution to the photoshopped placards on Late Night comedy news monologues.
The stupid are going to be hit the worst by AI. There is a clear lack of critical thinking in some groups, and things like this are going to have growing impact.
There's a part of me that always wonders what would happen if some folks dressed in black cult-like robes would hold a public prayer in front of a school/kindergarten in order for the children to be welcomed into Satan's warm embrace.
Technically it'd be legal, right? Freedom of speech + freed of religion, ez pz.
But I think a lot of people would flip their shit and I gotta say, from an outsider's perspective, that would be pretty fucking funny to watch.
Iirc, the Satanic Temple has done some things like that, usually in reaction to a specific equivalent act by an evangelical organization. They don't do it often, I don't think, because the backlash can end up being more harmful to the cause, but you're not the first to suggest it.
Yeah, if it weren't for the damage that I know such a thing would cause, I would've loved to see it - just to enjoy the resulting circus.
But I know that those kind of people would get others hurt or worse.
Probably want to be so many feet off school property and have a lawyer on retainer. Ideally you'd want to use the stunt to point out some problem with a law rather than just to make pearl clutcher clutch.
The amusing part is that we can't even guess (accurately) what the actual tell will be. Somehow I don't think the time gap between blinks is going to be it. I'm betting it's going to be slang-based. There's a reason kids use slang readily, and it's often to separate the worlds of adult regulators and the 'more free' children/teenagers. Imagine AI trying to keep up with the slang, but just like adults, it will be unable to use it in the same way with all the pseudo-information packed into it.
That was my immediate reaction as well, thank you. Most of the generated images aren't even significantly Luciferian in appearance such that they should be mistaken as such. These people are primed to hate anything that looks remotely evil to them. Zomg a figure with horns! 😱
The creator didn't even hide that they were use generated. The screenshots in the article show that the people in an uproar commenting on a shared post clearly labeled from "AI Art Universe." The complete lack of scrutiny with which some people approach things online is startling.
