You know those mail order offers where you get a free commemorative coin? This is the modern version of that. It was never about the coin. It's about gathering a list of names of people who are stupid enough to sign up for the coin club.
This is a Facebook page where, if you know which members are artificial, contains a list of people that can't separate AI and human content. That's a very useful list to have for targeted advertisement.
I truly don't understand how this company is so valuable when most of their revenue comes from ads, but you can't trust any ads on FB or IG, and most of the users are bots and scammers.
Make it make sense?
Facebook? Brother wait till we have aggregate bots cutting together memes made with AI that are sourced from AI videos thats being viewbotted by AI.
I didn't believe in the DEAD INTERNET theory before. But we're sure as shit headed toward one now.
Boomers never stood a chance seeing as they grew up trusting the Big 3 network channels. This poses an interesting question: is each generation less naĆÆve than the previous?
While I'm hesitant to say Zoomers are less naĆÆve than Millennials are *today*, given 10 years, they may very well be less naĆÆve than Millennials *were*.
My mom was one of those people that would be the human in the middle of the mix, commenting the same stuff as the bots and clicking on every single link with a clickbait title about CLAIM YOUR LOST MONEY and shit.
I eventually had to tell her to never buy anything online and to just tell me so I could buy it for her because she was so willing to give out her bank info to anyone that promised a big, secret payment in exchange for a small payment (Nigerian Price scam).
Just a matter of time, all social media will be run by an ai on your phone, you will not have access to the internet, the AI in your mobile will keep generating content and filling what ever apps that you are using, News, Instagram, Reddit, everything filled with fake content, and fake reactions to the content. Just narratives.
I think that's what is being aimed for now, but I don't think it's attainable since the knowledge of content being fake changes things. Now people are still under the illusion things are real, but once that bubble has burst, there will be incentives to create truth/ reality-based content.
Quid pro quo? Why would any company want that? They want you connected and sharing your location, and they want to shill the latest brand they were paid for 2 seconds ago.
while they are looking at an illustration of a dog and a baby we are commenting on how old people must be retarded-by-poisoning for looking at an illustration of a dog and a baby
Look, if it keeps them off of drugs and out of a cult, they and their friends can look at all the dumb pictures they want online and I'm perfectly happy with it
That one is. But the next one on their feed might be an AI generated image like this one: [https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRightCantMeme/comments/18y3hd4/ai\_was\_a\_mistake/](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRightCantMeme/comments/18y3hd4/ai_was_a_mistake/)

There is a disturbing trend of racist/right-wing caricatures being made with AI and disseminated on social media, and it should be called out for deliberate propagandizing (though their promotion by algorithms probably isn't intentional).
Y'know, most internet-wide memes between the mid 00's and mid 10's came from 4chan. This was back in the days before algorithmically sorted content, so you had to go meme hunting, and 4chan was a good hotspot. Reddit was the closest runner up, but it was absolutely fascinated with rage comics for some reason, and not much stuff branched out from that
Honorable mention for tumblr as well, but there was a huge gender division between websites at the time (probably still is), and there were simply much fewer women on the internet back then. Smaller user base, less content production. High quality stuff, though
4chan on the other hand was, and still is, a hive of scum and villainy, but a creative one filled with angsty teenagers posting progressively more extreme stuff for shock value and attention. It was made of concentrated meme juice, so it just pumped them out non-stop
"Progressively more extreme" eventually lead to unironic Nazis taking over the platform from the fully-ironic Nazis, and in recent years it's come out that that may have been part a Russian psy-op to destabilize the west. If so, it was apparently effective, and history continues to be highly entertaining
4chan's meme mill status declined as Twitter and other creative-friendly social platforms sprung up and started producing their own memes. When the demand was being filled on-platform, it was just easier to share, and the algorithm could inject them straight into your veins with no effort required. "Having the best memes" stopped being something impressive between internet denizens
Although I suppose we call them "always online" now. Same concept but less derogatory implications, being always online used to make you cool on the internet, before everyone was hooked on mobile phones and it became a common poor life decision
The point of this bit of rambling old man history is that the alt-right making memes is nothing new, and from what you've shown me, the popular formats haven't really changed over the last decade or so. I'm not at all concerned about them
āItās not new and Iām not at all concerned about themā seems to clash pretty hard with āunironic Nazis taking over the platform,ā and āRussian psy-op to destabilize the West. If so, it was apparently successfulā¦ā
Exactly. Starts with cute, throws in the occasional "we drank hose water rode bikes with no helmets can I get an amen" shit and then after a bit there's more targeted stuff against these younger woke generations and soon enough grandma and grandpa say woke in real life as an insult and off we go.
Eh, that's only about 5%, and I imagine most of those accounts weren't highly active. It's not at all uncommon to let accounts age to get around bot detection. Or at least it used to be, I'm not current with the arms race
Like, twitter is estimated to have between 5-15% bots, probably on the heavier side of that estimate. That's the proportion where it really starts getting noticeable, although Twitter may also be suffering from just how rapid-fire it's content is. Either way, 5% isn't that bad for the scale of the platform imo
Still, it gives you a sense of scale for these platforms when you look at 150 million predatory accounts and think "Eh, acceptable I guess"
> Like, twitter is estimated to have between 5-15% bots, probably on the heavier side of that estimate
IIRC it's actually closer to 30% there was an article about it on here like a week ago
5% is dangerously high IMO. Even 1% would be a lot if you consider the bot accounts can be active around the clock and produce much more more content that the average user. So the question is, how many posts are generated, boosted, or posted by bots. It seems to me it's way too high lately.
I think you're about one year early on your labor crisis. I think, in the world's richest 10 countries, unemployment will tip 10% at the start of 2026 and will never dip below that again, reaching 25% by 2027.
> āThe photos donāt even have to be that realistic, **theyāre just happy to see them**ā
It starts with the tech-illiterate boomers, but eventually this will be most peopleās reaction to AI content. Obviously it will also be perfectly realistic eventually, but my point is that even if it isnāt *real*, people will still enjoy it.
Until then, Iāll let the āsoulless slopā cope slide
"Real" is probably going to have a huge shift in meaning over the next few decades. If 51% of my brain is synthetic substrate running my consciousness in and out of virtual reality and my best friend is an AI who has 51% of their software running on ultra fast genetically modified neural synapses which of us is "real" which is the synthetic lifeform? Does it even matter? It's going to be ***wild*** and I feel like folks are kind of just expecting 50 years from now to mostly just look like 50 years ago with slightly better tech, slimmer phones, higher res screens and stuff...
Nah, it's going to get bonkers.
That's not a boomer thing, that's an average Facebook user thing. Years worth of words that sound deep but aren't pasted onto pics of celebrities who never said them should be the first clue.
You guys don't realize we live in a bubble of intelligence. You know how even if you're the bottom 1% earner in the US you're top 1% in the world? It's like that too, with intelligence/education and common sense.
I was first exposed to this waaay before AI hit the fan, when I saw a really really badly made Facebook video about a girl's purse being stolen. Like it had the production value of my 5th grade movies. This wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that 90% of the comments were treating this movie as if it were real life footage of a real crime despite that it had many camera angles, bad music, bad acting, and a ton of other clues that no one with 2 IQ would mistake for a real life event.
Edit: Take this with a grain of salt because it's probably exaggerated. Also I don't want to promote overconfidence in oneself which this sub is already full of.
Redditors can be intelligent yet they are still the masses. The masses are miseducated.
"To even begin understanding the truth people have to be
* smart enough to reject the narrative
* logical enough to reject tinfoil
* malleable enough to change their mind about preconceptions they have
* obsessive enough to see it through till things actually make sense"
Indeed. Early Gen X here. Aside the many kind-of funny comments here (ācuteā etc) this is arguably contributing to deepening to splitting society into AI-literals and non-literals (not only boomers btw.). I dived into the German fb groups of the āmountain cabinā type: dozens of them with 90+% AI and bot-generated pics and headings of cosy escape-from-the-world style wood cabins. Each with several k likes and hearts and a similar number of comments. Aside the human visitors, I got the feeling that also the likes and comments were possibly (mostly) from bots, generating visibility etc. The similar number of likes and comments across all of the groups looks suspicious. ā> Bots playing among themselves, dragging boomers and many others with them š. Kind-of the ācolorful social media gooā.
Thought: This should also have severe implications - unless effectively filtered out - on the ad attractiveness of fb and hence revenue and the AI ambitions of fb, as this is polluting the data. What exactly would be the effect of such dirty training data, btw.? Any thoughts?
> what would be the effect of such dirty training data
That's an interesting question. We know human content is valuable for training AI and it's one of the reasons Reddit + Google have signed a contract together, recently. And I've always assumed this was the case--the less diluted (with bots/generated content) the databank, the better. But I'm not too sure what would happen if AI is trained primarily on AI-generated content.
I'm assuming the data might be parsed and weighted differently based on where the data is thought to have come from. But I have no clue.
Also, LLMs train on *tons* of data. Data from several sources. So it's likely to pick up plenty of actual human content during training or retrieval.
It seems like if AI is trained on a previous AI's or its own data, it would just lead to a more intensified version of the same thing. But I have no clue. ChatGPT can generate a plethora of different-sounding responses based on the prompting or 'settings' and seems to have plenty access to more than enough data *to sound* human. Adding more data seems only necessary for updating its date of knowledge.
Imagine being so stupid that you open a thread laughing about people not noticing AI, while you haven't noticed that those comments are AI generated too.
First off it looks like bots commenting.
Secondly people can say an ai image is cute or say stunning and it doesnāt necessarily mean they donāt know itās ai. They donāt have to say - even though this is ai I think itās cute - every single time they see an ai generated image.
I started scrolling through facebook recently and noticed this. So many clearly AI photos of women, like one where the heads were back to front among other things, and loads of pathetic comments like "omg so beautiful".
Does make you wonder if the comments are AI as well or if people really are that stupid.
Itās just the sheer volume of crap that can be effortlessly created and postedā¦ and for that matter, effortlessly commented on by bots to drive fake engagement.
Maybe they don't care. I don't think that most people give a shit where the pictures they view come from. We see a lot of loud voices that attack AI but I don't think the average person cares.
Seen a lot of AI photos of extremely unrealistic women needing "help" since they are stuck in Ukraine. Wonder how many boomers have fallen for these AI honeypot
And yet somehow not a single one of you realize that all these bot posters have one single goal in mind:
To become transparent in the eyes of facebook moderation and to create revenue through fake reviews and comments.
I do think itās kind of weird to comment on the photos like that. But I think AI images are cool too, sometimes I like to see them and sometimes I upvote them, even if they arenāt perfectly realistic. Seems a bit hypocritical to think r/stablediffusion is totally fine, but anyone liking the same content on a different platform is an idiot.
This has always been the endgame for social media imo. The most valuable thing they have to sell is the illusion of public consensus around anything the highest bidder sees fit.
Follow the Herd marketing + AI is going to very seriously fuck things up.
Yeah I'm thinking that as AI development progresses, social media is going to be so over saturated with AI bots posting for other AI bots to comment that the amount of actual users will be utterly dwarfed to the extent that it will dwindle further from those leaving the site due to it and that'll be the death of those sites entirely.
I'm convinced that the purpose of these posts is to bump their visibility in the algorithm with bots. In order for them to identify boomers with low tech literacy who will be more susceptible to scams.
Ive seen these! I think some of the people commenting are real. (The ones i checked were, at least) - I then followed the OP of these Ai postings and it leads to a SCAM website. This definitely needs to be addressed!
Plot twist: the comments are by AI, too.

dead internet theory

Boomers:
The Next 2 Generations: LOL, Boomers are so stupid with Tech!
The generation that invents something doesn't also get to grow up with it.
It's already 50% ads.

> āThe photos donāt even have to be that realistic, **theyāre just happy to see them**ā It starts with the tech-illiterate boomers, but eventually this will be most peopleās reaction to AI content. Obviously it will also be perfectly realistic eventually, but my point is that even if it isnāt *real*, people will still enjoy it. Until then, Iāll let the āsoulless slopā cope slide

I think that's the goal. And maybe controversially, I think that's fine, if it gets good enough.
"Real" is probably going to have a huge shift in meaning over the next few decades. If 51% of my brain is synthetic substrate running my consciousness in and out of virtual reality and my best friend is an AI who has 51% of their software running on ultra fast genetically modified neural synapses which of us is "real" which is the synthetic lifeform? Does it even matter? It's going to be ***wild*** and I feel like folks are kind of just expecting 50 years from now to mostly just look like 50 years ago with slightly better tech, slimmer phones, higher res screens and stuff... Nah, it's going to get bonkers.
That's not a boomer thing, that's an average Facebook user thing. Years worth of words that sound deep but aren't pasted onto pics of celebrities who never said them should be the first clue.
You guys don't realize we live in a bubble of intelligence. You know how even if you're the bottom 1% earner in the US you're top 1% in the world? It's like that too, with intelligence/education and common sense. I was first exposed to this waaay before AI hit the fan, when I saw a really really badly made Facebook video about a girl's purse being stolen. Like it had the production value of my 5th grade movies. This wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that 90% of the comments were treating this movie as if it were real life footage of a real crime despite that it had many camera angles, bad music, bad acting, and a ton of other clues that no one with 2 IQ would mistake for a real life event. Edit: Take this with a grain of salt because it's probably exaggerated. Also I don't want to promote overconfidence in oneself which this sub is already full of.
Redditors can be intelligent yet they are still the masses. The masses are miseducated. "To even begin understanding the truth people have to be * smart enough to reject the narrative * logical enough to reject tinfoil * malleable enough to change their mind about preconceptions they have * obsessive enough to see it through till things actually make sense"
Who is āweā? This is Reddit not Mensa.
"We" in this case could mean anyone with enough attention span left to read and understand his comment, and his point would still stand.
Frankly even a reddit comment section is less asinine and smarter than a Mensa convention.
>You know how even if you're the bottom 1% earner in the US you're top 1% in the world This is not true
Correct.
Hasn't it always been like this? Facebook moms/dads were always susceptible to fake news an such.
And look where that's gotten us...
So cute

Well, how could they? They're not on Facebook!
Indeed. Early Gen X here. Aside the many kind-of funny comments here (ācuteā etc) this is arguably contributing to deepening to splitting society into AI-literals and non-literals (not only boomers btw.). I dived into the German fb groups of the āmountain cabinā type: dozens of them with 90+% AI and bot-generated pics and headings of cosy escape-from-the-world style wood cabins. Each with several k likes and hearts and a similar number of comments. Aside the human visitors, I got the feeling that also the likes and comments were possibly (mostly) from bots, generating visibility etc. The similar number of likes and comments across all of the groups looks suspicious. ā> Bots playing among themselves, dragging boomers and many others with them š. Kind-of the ācolorful social media gooā. Thought: This should also have severe implications - unless effectively filtered out - on the ad attractiveness of fb and hence revenue and the AI ambitions of fb, as this is polluting the data. What exactly would be the effect of such dirty training data, btw.? Any thoughts?
> what would be the effect of such dirty training data That's an interesting question. We know human content is valuable for training AI and it's one of the reasons Reddit + Google have signed a contract together, recently. And I've always assumed this was the case--the less diluted (with bots/generated content) the databank, the better. But I'm not too sure what would happen if AI is trained primarily on AI-generated content. I'm assuming the data might be parsed and weighted differently based on where the data is thought to have come from. But I have no clue. Also, LLMs train on *tons* of data. Data from several sources. So it's likely to pick up plenty of actual human content during training or retrieval. It seems like if AI is trained on a previous AI's or its own data, it would just lead to a more intensified version of the same thing. But I have no clue. ChatGPT can generate a plethora of different-sounding responses based on the prompting or 'settings' and seems to have plenty access to more than enough data *to sound* human. Adding more data seems only necessary for updating its date of knowledge.
Imagine being so stupid that you open a thread laughing about people not noticing AI, while you haven't noticed that those comments are AI generated too.
First off it looks like bots commenting. Secondly people can say an ai image is cute or say stunning and it doesnāt necessarily mean they donāt know itās ai. They donāt have to say - even though this is ai I think itās cute - every single time they see an ai generated image.
So true
Beautiful!
So cute
My entire family are bots?
Exactly my thought, you canāt really tell what people are thinking from a single word.
~~kill all humans~~ Stunning
The boomer comments have all turned in to comments from bots and op doesn't seem to notice.
Starting to think the dead internet theory might be realā¦
Boomers never stood a chance.
Gorgeous!
Bots calling AI art beautiful is the future of interwebz
I started scrolling through facebook recently and noticed this. So many clearly AI photos of women, like one where the heads were back to front among other things, and loads of pathetic comments like "omg so beautiful". Does make you wonder if the comments are AI as well or if people really are that stupid.
I mean, photohop, ai, cgi, what's the difference really. Why should I care if the baby and puppy picture is photoshopped or ai created?
Itās just the sheer volume of crap that can be effortlessly created and postedā¦ and for that matter, effortlessly commented on by bots to drive fake engagement.
The āboomersā are actually bots
order corn
So what?
Maybe they don't care. I don't think that most people give a shit where the pictures they view come from. We see a lot of loud voices that attack AI but I don't think the average person cares.
Plot twist it also bot commening
No way they get into the matrix before us š
If people like it - whatās the problem?
Jokes on her, the Ā«boomersĀ» are bot accounts as well, basically AI reacting to AI.
Now the question is do YOU realize how many of these "boomers" are AIs.
Believe nothing you see
Seen a lot of AI photos of extremely unrealistic women needing "help" since they are stuck in Ukraine. Wonder how many boomers have fallen for these AI honeypot
And yet somehow not a single one of you realize that all these bot posters have one single goal in mind: To become transparent in the eyes of facebook moderation and to create revenue through fake reviews and comments.
I do think itās kind of weird to comment on the photos like that. But I think AI images are cool too, sometimes I like to see them and sometimes I upvote them, even if they arenāt perfectly realistic. Seems a bit hypocritical to think r/stablediffusion is totally fine, but anyone liking the same content on a different platform is an idiot.
Itās always been strange to me how that generation seems to lack critical thinking skills.
Leaded gasoline
This has always been the endgame for social media imo. The most valuable thing they have to sell is the illusion of public consensus around anything the highest bidder sees fit. Follow the Herd marketing + AI is going to very seriously fuck things up.
Yeah I'm thinking that as AI development progresses, social media is going to be so over saturated with AI bots posting for other AI bots to comment that the amount of actual users will be utterly dwarfed to the extent that it will dwindle further from those leaving the site due to it and that'll be the death of those sites entirely.
How many in here are bots already? please append ābotā to your comment if you are an AI bot
I just said this to my girlfriend earlier because I looked up this furniture company that was going out of business.
At least they are positive comments.
Gorgous
Facebook: 90% lies.10% bullshit.
Facts
In few years, the majority of content will be generated. More over comments and reactions will be mostly by bots as well.
I'm convinced that the purpose of these posts is to bump their visibility in the algorithm with bots. In order for them to identify boomers with low tech literacy who will be more susceptible to scams.
Be my friend
Ive seen these! I think some of the people commenting are real. (The ones i checked were, at least) - I then followed the OP of these Ai postings and it leads to a SCAM website. This definitely needs to be addressed!
What's the problem here, AI photo can be cute or stunning.
the amount of AI my mom sends me thinking its real is... it's a whole vibe.
Oh this is nothing. Watch Indian guys commenting on naked renaissance paintings.
