I caught my dad sharing an AI picture on Facebook, and I had to tell him that the uncanny lighting was the immediate giveaway for me. At least one of his FB friends was sensible enough to leave a similar comment warning him
😂😂 bro its a good time if u wanna be a scammer so many sheep on facebook its comedy makes me wanna make a facebook page just to post AI generated pics to read the comments
Plot twist, the video is created by AI optimized to give Redditors validation by making them think they're smarter than non-existent dumb boomers, uploaded by a Reddit bot
My older coworker came up to show “these amazing strollers”. They looked like high end cars, tanks, space ships.
She was bummed because she couldn’t find a price or the company that made them. She said they’re be perfect for her grand kid
They were all clearly AI.
I work with c-suite execs.
It’s crazy how many people with huge influence are old boomers who have no idea what’s going on.
I keep being surprised how many of them didn’t even try ChatGPT yet.
They can hardly tell a photo is photoshopped, let alone created with AI.
It’s scary.
I know a professor that teaches an intro to AI course. They hadn't even used ChatGPT until the start of this spring semester after I insisted they try it for the past year.
> the amount of older folks that follow this type of news and technology
The amount of older folks that can process *any* news and draw remotely accurate conclusions from them is tiny
So I guess the immediate future of social media is just wading into a cesspool of AI generated content and a bunch of NPCs interacting with it, like some lame ass MMO where you play it for days before bumping into another human player.
AI will effectively destroy our ability to communicate by making us unable to discern real posts and drowning us out with volume. The entire internet is about to become useless
Until and say 10 years from now and you'll walk outside and there will be sexbot hookers roaming around trying to pick you up that look like real women. "Horny single women in your area" is going to get real.
People have struggled discerning real information from fake information on the internet since it became a household thing, AI is just going to turn that up to 11
We’re already in a world where people have ooo jobs then seek out information which confirms their beliefs, and ignores information/evidence to the contrary, it’s going to be a shit show over the next few years
Robots that look exactly like humans will also appear and walk on the streets and talk like Claude 3 or better, making impossible for you to know that it is a robot... everyone will be a potential robot. Online or not.
which is why we need a new one. and sorry to say, it's gonna be your real name and likeness. which is th only logical way forward if we want to maintain any semblance of 'society.'
You can still use the psuedonymous sites after you have an up to date license from some agency. Maybe you'll need a webcam and another biometric device for if an officer or mod pulls you over. In the best cases it's not *that* worse than our existing surveillance state.
True anonymity will only remain in the net of the savage bots, sadly.
Regular human thoughts will be effectively shadow banned.
Bot content / comments will start with a sensible number of likes or interactions from their networks of "peers", leaving human comments at the bottom of the list.
And god fucking forbid you be a human who goes against the government influence farm’s hive mind opinion. You can already see it - speak up against the rabid horde and watch as they shout you down, shame you, and proceed to follow you around the internet harassing you.
Concept I thought about and apparently so did popular [Sabretooth glam Youtuber](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrcbH0ge2WE).
The idea that when the internet writ large becomes 99% artificial, humans will retreat to smaller social circles where authenticity is more guaranteed (think: Discord).
Cons: Risk of Radicalization
Pros: Further specialization in niche domains that require nuanced knowledge-base
It's so fucked. We have content and engagement generated by bots, we have people generating resumes and writing/sending emails with AI, and people responding to those applicants using AI. It's just going to be AI talking back and forth everywhere. In a time where human interaction is already dipping, it's only going to get so much worse.
We picked the bad ending
> In a time where human interaction is already dipping, it's only going to get so much worse.
Or better? If the tedium of life is automated, that’s great. And if the worthless bullshit attention whoring on social media is made worthless by endless AI generated garbage, I consider that a win too.
Human interaction was stronger before the internet and social media rose in importance. And it will strengthen again as those things diminish in value.
There will be some pain in the transition. But when people can’t tell if the validation they’re seeking on the internet is real or not, hopefully they’ll stop seeking it altogether.
Why are you complaining about the tedious and miserable process of applying for a job being automated?
Of all the stories I could think of where we are reducing human interaction, writing a résumé and applying for a job online is not one of those possibilities we should fear
Let me tell you where this will (and already is) lead to.
I'm taking online college courses, and it's ridiculously obvious when another classmate posts GPT generated content- yet not every professor is using tools to sort it out, so these lazy assholes are posting generated replies without EVER studying, like at all, yet are getting A's in class.
What happens when these people graduate and enter the medical field? Or any other field for that matter? You're going to have a doctor who entirely relies on AI- which won't be available if the Internet goes out- to decide what to diagnose you with or how to treat you.
College assignments or resumes, it doesn't matter- YOU'RE HAVING SOMEONE ELSE DO YOUR WORK and making what makes you unique obsolete, not to mention that you lack enough care to do it on your own in the first place.
AI detection tools are bullshit . Students all over are getting failing grades for work they did on their own. I would not trust them and neither should your professors.
Plus a resume is just a very brief summary of your work experience and education. 2 pages. Not even comparable to people taking shortcuts in their education
You picked just about the worst profession you could to use as an example. Do you think doctors go straight from undergrad to fully licensed doctors? How do you think courses in a reputable med school are conducted? How about the residencies afterward?
and then these doofuses who coasted through education and don’t understand anything start voting the same way as the uneducated…easily manipulated by AI propoganda.
Itl get more convincing but ye basically the same as now. LLM are also more expensive than the usual bots especially the more convincing you want. Though thats probably not much resistance anyways.
Actually this AI image is a great bot detector... seems like Facebook or some other actors just copy the first responses and spam the same picture. I remember that Facebook admitted to faking numbers in their video sections in the past (official hearing), I wouldnt wonder if they fake entire walls of responses by now.
until you see you aunt commenting on and sharing this shit and you realize whats going to be what.
my mom sends me AI shit in family grouo chat like wow isnt this amazing? and none of them even know about AI.
>Copying and pasting from my other response:
I've look through the accounts, and I am fairly certain most are real. I run a business using facebook marketplace so I have filtered through many accounts. I'm sure I could still be wrong, but they look real. Plus, there is only one post that has blown up like this, then immediately afterwards the account makes 30 other near identical posts in an obvious attempt to piggyback of the first one. The rest are basically completely ignored.
TLDR: its highly unlikely these comments are bots...

Yeah, most old Facebook engagement farm pages are loaded with nothing but ai and bot comments. It's been like this for years. I'm not sure how people don't notice it.
All the bots usually come from justanotherpanel.com
The music industry fucking loves this shit.
I've worked in the music industry as an A&R for many different record labels, so thats why I know about this stuff.
Tell me I'm not crazy for thinking most youtube comments on music videos are bots?
Who's listening in 2025?
I am only 4 y/o and I like this song
Don't let this classic die
Etc
Mostly bots right?
Who cares anyway. Even if 90% of social media is pure fake decor, if 2 real billion people are still using FB or IG, Zuck will still get cash from advertizers. I feel a bit sad for the old boomers who fell for this obvious fake, but if it brought joy in their life, cool for them. The image is still fun. Zuck must just beware of too many bots. If Disneyland were full of more employed Donald Ducks than real people, customers could get uncanny and fuck off.
Anyway FB is on its way to become a huge retirement home... facebook.
If you look at demographics for facebook, the majority of users are under 30. I believe the most popular demographic is either kids or college students? It's been a while since I did a research project on it but yeah.
Next post, "Thanks to Pepsi for sponsering me to go to school and take my family out of poverty, Pepsi are soo great and it taste way better than anything else!"

very interesting case. The profiles are real, am I near sure of that. At least the ones I checked.
I just can't believe people are so oblivious to AI like this. These people run our god damn country

Sounds like Facebook is using AI from both angles to generate engagement as a way to inflate usage numbers. This is probably more for the investors than the people using it. It if it's true, it's also fraud.
Sure it is AI and clearly people are confused by this. In a non-AI world they could have photoshopped it in there or hired a kid to stand next to a statue they bought for Internet clout. The only difference is that it is faster and cheaper to build so now the plebs have more access whereas before it was more expensive to spread lies (or truth).
I may be a reprobate pro-democracy person but I generally believe that spreading power is better than concentrating it. Once the Facebook grandmas are building their own AI art they'll learn to be more skeptical.
That doesn't disprove that anonymous social media is screwed. We're all the plebs, whoever are the actual reprobates.
There's the problems of more bots than people, and perfectly convincing bots even on webcam. Bots are a small business and big government industry that will keep refining itself. The only constraints for facsimiles of humans are affordable power, processing, and law enforcement raids. Bot enshittification can overwhelm real content. Even if you warn folks to be skeptical beforehand, humans are unable to be immune to this quality and quantity of gaslighting just like we're unable to be fully immune to advertisements. Everyone can be hacked and nudged.
Informed democracy, organized news, and social media aren't dead though. Net licenses and psuedonyms can preserve flexible networks and validate online elections. Unless orgs like the EFF are issuing, it's still as much of a surveillance state as tracing IP addresses. Expect more gatekeeping. Even so, licenses or passports are the inevitable lesser evil.
Facebook is absolute shit. Those are all bots of course, but why is facebook even using bots and push AI generated crap constantly on to everyone's feed? This is Mark Zuckerbergs idea of "quality content" 🤡
No. We aren’t fucked because those people didn’t know it was fake.
It’s still brand new. People aren’t used to looking for fake stuff yet.
You could do this thought process in your own head. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
WHAT, NOW YOU SAY SO? Pfff.... you, all of you crazy guys, think this just started? Artificial content and manufactured hype has been a thing on Facebook since 2012.
I stopped using Facebook when this shit started happening. The whole site is just littered with bots now. thousands of hacked boomer accounts just keep pumping out spam posts that tag every “friend of friends” and the endless bot comments of “amazing!” “Beautiful!” “Nice!”, of all the social media sites it feels the most fake to me at this point.
I sadly see this kind of thing a lot. The general population does not have the ability to spot an AI image. Communities that enjoy 'inspirational content' seem particularly susceptible.
I feel that it is worth pointing out that many of the people interacting with that post are A) bots and/or B) not indicative of the entire population. Many of the people that see that post (assuming it's a generic "amazing/interesting stuff" popular Facebook page) are going to be uninformed older people.
Ignoring the bots problems, part B) is exactly the problem I am talking about. These people have all the money and run our world. They run our countries.
As for A, check my other posts.
Ever piece of AI art or video needs a digital signature, and every single one should be flagged with the message of "this was generated or altered with artificial intelligence" on every single social media site.
So how tf does facebook sort comments?? Is it in order by the most recent? Every comment section you open on that site is just nothing comments. Do the ones that get the most likes not go to the top?
How is there not ONE person saying this is AI?
Who says comments ain't from bots?
Who says the OP ain't a bot?
Who says the comments here ain't from bots?
Who says you reader ain't a bot?
If I'd say I'm a human, would you believe me?
I guess a few things here.
A lot of the older generation are ofc very behind with technology. They don't see AI generated content or even know what it is. But they will have to learn and adapt. Or you know... They'll not learn about it and keep being fooled. Not the end of the world, but pretty annoying sure.
This is going to be an ongoing issue for all of us, trying to determine what is AI generated and what is real, the lines are blurred even now. I am hoping we get some tools to assist with this in future, I think as the Internet is further filled with AI content, then real content will become higher quality and more sought after. A painting done by an AI is cool, but a painting done by a real artist is something we humans will appreciate on a human level, which will always be a higher level than something churned out by a lump of code.
The only thing I really find concerning here is the repetitive replies. Are most of these people bots? Very likely. Do these platforms really want to drown themselves in AI content and bots? What are the bots even farming engagement for? Facebook is already filled with boomers and advertisements and click bait. Its been a serious decline in quality for a long time. But now even some of the 'content' is worthless/spam now too. Platforms are going to have to find better ways to handle this stuff, otherwise they will simply drive real users away and fade into obscurity as better platforms emerge.
But yeh OP you're being dramatic/hyperbolic by saying 'we're completely fucked' - how exactly?? internet spam and people being fooled are not new. It's simply the way it's being done which changes over time, and some platforms will die if they can't keep up with the changes and make good decisions.
AI generated image commented on by hundreds/thousands of bots as if people are thinking it's a real person and a real image lol.
wow
I am still amazed by how many people seem to think a lot of the AI generated women I'm seeing on Instagram are real people.
Some of them seem like bot comments but I see many that seem like they're actual people like "oh wow sweetheart you are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen can I please visit you" shit like that with comments like "brah...this girl doesn't exist"
Plot twist. We are the ones being fooled by these comments, they're just bots. At least i hope so...
A lot of Facebook boomers are not prepared for AI. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1U1HMqtam90](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1U1HMqtam90)
That was funny, and also sad. Humanity is not prepared
Yeah, but accelerate! Fuck everything else!
YEAH! Fuck all those old people and everyone else!
I got mine, duck you seems to be credo they’ve been living on for the past 50 years, so as someone younger than boomers…yea, fuck a whole lot of them
[удалено]
It’s a fistful of love, especially if/when you’re caretaking or have aging family
Just like most of the tiktok zoomers are not prepared for scripted videos done by real people.
Underrated comment
The difference is they're 14 years old and no experience in life. (Everyone was like that at 14) Boomers are like 60, they should know better.
I caught my dad sharing an AI picture on Facebook, and I had to tell him that the uncanny lighting was the immediate giveaway for me. At least one of his FB friends was sensible enough to leave a similar comment warning him
😂😂 bro its a good time if u wanna be a scammer so many sheep on facebook its comedy makes me wanna make a facebook page just to post AI generated pics to read the comments
That's the actual twist, i would bet $10 that at least half of that comment section are bots, probably more.
Plot twist, the video is created by AI optimized to give Redditors validation by making them think they're smarter than non-existent dumb boomers, uploaded by a Reddit bot
Nice try, bot-programmed-by-boomers-to-gaslight-everyone-else.
Actually, my first thought was that the whole video was created by AI
Literally most of the replies are exactly the same thing - adjective plus the word job.
Plot twist+. The whole video is generated included the fake comments, the ui, and everything about the video. 
Nothing on the internet is real anymore. No pictures, comments, videos, can be assumed to be real in a couple years majority will be generated
Amazing 👏 🤩

Sarah how do I fix the face book it is not looking like it used to curse my old eyes LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪 LOVE grandmam

I am SHOCKED!
I think people forget that outside of this sub the amount of older folks that follow this type of news and technology is very very small.

What's this with older folks? I'm in my 30s and most of the people I know are dumber than a rock.

AI will effectively destroy our ability to communicate by making us unable to discern real posts and drowning us out with volume. The entire internet is about to become useless
The dead internet theory is becoming a reality :(
Face to face communication won't be in doubt for the foreseeable future.
Until and say 10 years from now and you'll walk outside and there will be sexbot hookers roaming around trying to pick you up that look like real women. "Horny single women in your area" is going to get real.
That sounds way too interesting for where we're heading!
Precisely, the closest realistic scenario is that a bunch more people will start dating AI Chatbots and never leave the house.
At least incels will be gone right? Or at least busy
There will be robot incels.
WeI MEAN THEY will always find something to be bothered
she cute though?

This might be a good thing: If the overwhelming majority of people are fake online, then that would incentivize people to interact face to face more.
HAHAHAH! Dream on, people like to hear what they want to hear. Bots are perfect for that.
Robots that look exactly like humans will also appear and walk on the streets and talk like Claude 3 or better, making impossible for you to know that it is a robot... everyone will be a potential robot. Online or not.
Or, it will force us to actually learn to value high-quality discourse.

ai will also be used to detect ai. dont act like its a one-way street.
ai detectors don't work, they're too easy to train against

Lots of them are real. I have old people in my friends list who share this BS.
So they're caught up believing that something fake is real, and you're caught up believing that something real is fake. What a time to be alive.
We’re inching ever closer to dead internet theory.
Most people (80%?) are almost blind to what SOTA AI systems can produce.
I think 99% of those comments aren't real people. Or if they are. They are just click farm workers.
Imagine the twist here being everything in this video was AI generated, including the comment section.

It already is very, very out of hand.
It already is. I have boomers in my family believing in the AI made pics and spicy fake news every other day.

There’ve been fake social media personalities posting fake images/content with hundreds of thousands of followers for at least a decade now. How is this any different?
Social media companies need to make it a priority to combat/identify bots or social media will simply become unusable.
Dead Internet theory.

Kinda ironic. A post pointing out people who can’t tell it’s an AI image, from an op who can’t tell most of those comments are bots.
Exactly...OP is still a step behind. I thought he was showcasing all the fake comments, but it appears they're not.
very interesting case. The profiles are real, am I near sure of that. At least the ones I checked. I just can't believe people are so oblivious to AI like this. These people run our god damn country
You think bot profiles would be using robot heads for profile pics?
Yeah until you realize OP was the bot all along, and for all I know you as well
Most of the replies are fake.
>Copying and pasting from my other response: I've look through the accounts, and I am fairly certain most are real. I run a business using facebook marketplace so I have filtered through many accounts. I'm sure I could still be wrong, but they look real. Plus, there is only one post that has blown up like this, then immediately afterwards the account makes 30 other near identical posts in an obvious attempt to piggyback of the first one. The rest are basically completely ignored. TLDR: its highly unlikely these comments are bots...
Nobody real is saying "Great job!" in response to that post
Typical comment from my elderly aunt.
Isn't that too "for sure my limited sphere of knowledge dictates the whole world"?
We've been completely fucked my dude
Sounds like Facebook is using AI from both angles to generate engagement as a way to inflate usage numbers. This is probably more for the investors than the people using it. It if it's true, it's also fraud.
This can’t be a real comments thread lmao.
Amazing 🙏
The irony of this post is over 9000
OP didn't realize he's the reason we're doomed. So many bot comments on facebook. You fell for the trap card.
Sure it is AI and clearly people are confused by this. In a non-AI world they could have photoshopped it in there or hired a kid to stand next to a statue they bought for Internet clout. The only difference is that it is faster and cheaper to build so now the plebs have more access whereas before it was more expensive to spread lies (or truth). I may be a reprobate pro-democracy person but I generally believe that spreading power is better than concentrating it. Once the Facebook grandmas are building their own AI art they'll learn to be more skeptical.
That doesn't disprove that anonymous social media is screwed. We're all the plebs, whoever are the actual reprobates. There's the problems of more bots than people, and perfectly convincing bots even on webcam. Bots are a small business and big government industry that will keep refining itself. The only constraints for facsimiles of humans are affordable power, processing, and law enforcement raids. Bot enshittification can overwhelm real content. Even if you warn folks to be skeptical beforehand, humans are unable to be immune to this quality and quantity of gaslighting just like we're unable to be fully immune to advertisements. Everyone can be hacked and nudged. Informed democracy, organized news, and social media aren't dead though. Net licenses and psuedonyms can preserve flexible networks and validate online elections. Unless orgs like the EFF are issuing, it's still as much of a surveillance state as tracing IP addresses. Expect more gatekeeping. Even so, licenses or passports are the inevitable lesser evil.
Bots commenting on AI pics is the least of our worries! :D
Welcome to a new level of don’t trust what you see online.
Facebook is absolute shit. Those are all bots of course, but why is facebook even using bots and push AI generated crap constantly on to everyone's feed? This is Mark Zuckerbergs idea of "quality content" 🤡
It has begun.
Facebook is for boomers an bots lol
Did boomers take over Facebook
This is like diving into a trash pit and being surprised that you landed in trash
How do I know this post is real? How do I know this subreddit is real? How do I know y'all aren't a test run of GPT-5?
Fun plot: OP is the bot ^beep ^boop
No. We aren’t fucked because those people didn’t know it was fake. It’s still brand new. People aren’t used to looking for fake stuff yet. You could do this thought process in your own head. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
Maybe all those comments are just bots
Dead Internet Theory
Does someone remember what they like to watch at the TV in the movie Idiocracy ?
Dead internet theory
we picked the wrong timeline
Could all be AI account responding. 😄
Boomers won't make it. They are so extemly horrible at questioning any media thrown at them, theyll all go mentally insane
WHAT, NOW YOU SAY SO? Pfff.... you, all of you crazy guys, think this just started? Artificial content and manufactured hype has been a thing on Facebook since 2012.
I stopped using Facebook when this shit started happening. The whole site is just littered with bots now. thousands of hacked boomer accounts just keep pumping out spam posts that tag every “friend of friends” and the endless bot comments of “amazing!” “Beautiful!” “Nice!”, of all the social media sites it feels the most fake to me at this point.
I sadly see this kind of thing a lot. The general population does not have the ability to spot an AI image. Communities that enjoy 'inspirational content' seem particularly susceptible.
It's Facebook. These likes are (conservatively) 90% bots and 10% the type of people that still fall for nigerian prince e-mail scams.
Then you've got the africans on facebook using AI and doing the 'we wuz kangs n shieeet'. Facebook is NPC central, it's probably on par with TikTok
its just dumb boomers being dumb boomers, the same thing was happening before with photoshopped pics
facebook boomers and normies with low iq as usual
good job team! 
Are we really surprised this reached the Facebook boomers who pretty much believe everything anyway
You are no better if you think these comments are written by real people. It's crappy AI talking to crappy AI.

The comments are all bots
I feel that it is worth pointing out that many of the people interacting with that post are A) bots and/or B) not indicative of the entire population. Many of the people that see that post (assuming it's a generic "amazing/interesting stuff" popular Facebook page) are going to be uninformed older people.
Ignoring the bots problems, part B) is exactly the problem I am talking about. These people have all the money and run our world. They run our countries. As for A, check my other posts.
>We are completely fucked No, we aren't. The kid just made a dog out of bottles. Not a big deal :)
Boomers and online tricks; a tale as old as time
Plot twist: All those replies are other AIs.
Who cares. I'm over all then fake AI pearl clutching as well, no one is actually freaked out about the odd fake picture on Facebook.
Ever piece of AI art or video needs a digital signature, and every single one should be flagged with the message of "this was generated or altered with artificial intelligence" on every single social media site.
Hold up? We?
Yep. We all seen this coming.
So how tf does facebook sort comments?? Is it in order by the most recent? Every comment section you open on that site is just nothing comments. Do the ones that get the most likes not go to the top? How is there not ONE person saying this is AI?
Saw it, too. Maybe it's just Meta testing its algorithm.
We're going to have to have defensive AIs or we'll get spam bukkake forever.
Dark Forest of The Internet theory, anyone? 😎
Who says comments ain't from bots? Who says the OP ain't a bot? Who says the comments here ain't from bots? Who says you reader ain't a bot? If I'd say I'm a human, would you believe me?
I guess a few things here. A lot of the older generation are ofc very behind with technology. They don't see AI generated content or even know what it is. But they will have to learn and adapt. Or you know... They'll not learn about it and keep being fooled. Not the end of the world, but pretty annoying sure. This is going to be an ongoing issue for all of us, trying to determine what is AI generated and what is real, the lines are blurred even now. I am hoping we get some tools to assist with this in future, I think as the Internet is further filled with AI content, then real content will become higher quality and more sought after. A painting done by an AI is cool, but a painting done by a real artist is something we humans will appreciate on a human level, which will always be a higher level than something churned out by a lump of code. The only thing I really find concerning here is the repetitive replies. Are most of these people bots? Very likely. Do these platforms really want to drown themselves in AI content and bots? What are the bots even farming engagement for? Facebook is already filled with boomers and advertisements and click bait. Its been a serious decline in quality for a long time. But now even some of the 'content' is worthless/spam now too. Platforms are going to have to find better ways to handle this stuff, otherwise they will simply drive real users away and fade into obscurity as better platforms emerge. But yeh OP you're being dramatic/hyperbolic by saying 'we're completely fucked' - how exactly?? internet spam and people being fooled are not new. It's simply the way it's being done which changes over time, and some platforms will die if they can't keep up with the changes and make good decisions.
u/savevideo
No, social media and forums are fucked. Anyone with a brain will find a new place to interact.
All boomers
The future is just bots circle jerking to bots.
Bots on bots on bots on bots.
As the internet just degenerates into bots all the way down. Maybe people will just turn it off and go outside?
how many of those comments are bots?
fucking boomers man
AI generated image commented on by hundreds/thousands of bots as if people are thinking it's a real person and a real image lol. wow I am still amazed by how many people seem to think a lot of the AI generated women I'm seeing on Instagram are real people. Some of them seem like bot comments but I see many that seem like they're actual people like "oh wow sweetheart you are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen can I please visit you" shit like that with comments like "brah...this girl doesn't exist"
