It’s amazing to see all these memes and meme templates the last few days. That was peak Reddit back in 2009-10.
I feel good for lemmy if this continues.
The memes on here have been on point. Simple and effective. I really been enjoying them.
Realistically, what are the dangers of AI?
I get that it might change employment around like I assume calculators and computers did, but what are the other reasonable things to worry about?
The biggest issue I see is the ability to create realistic fake content easily.
Yeah I can see that, but that’s already been happening for a long time now. Might actually work in our favor though, having to actually do something to combat misinformation.
Maybe we will finally come up with a universally accepted way to verify things.
And what is the danger in this? At this point everyone knows AI can make realistic fake content. It’s unlikely that someone, say, in a position of power, would do anything rash after seeing an AI video considering the technology exists. No wars were started over photoshopped images.
the target isn’t people in power, the target of these tools is the general population. disinformation combined lack of critical thinking is already bad enough just with the posting of carefully cropped, edited, or out of context media, when the new tools can create realistic video with voice matched audio, more people will be fooled - plenty of them will happily believe whatever reinforces their existing position.
Imagine the president giving a very important message to the people. Using content generation, a bad actor could insert minor alterations that change the meaning of an important sentence and then spread it naturally on social media. That could have dramatic implications for disinformation campaigns.

That one about the beans was neat
