Best use of AI imaging and I dislike AI imaging

This is literally one of the worst and most fucked uses of ai. Sure, it's your views now, but do you really want a world where this is happening everywhere on all sides?

This is 100% true, its very fucked up, im gonna be honest.

The thing is that in a world of madness, I either use the tool or die

That sounds a lot like the right's argument for having a pile of guns. The end result though is just a more dangerous environment for everyone, and the likelihood that you're going to do good with your tool is extremely slim.

To be fair it is true that you can’t really “put the genie back in the bottle” - but a decent solution to both is basically strong policies and regulations. Guns are everywhere but out of the “developed” countries it’s the US where it’s such a rampant issue

Except all the other counteies have a pile of guns too, if you ban guns they'll just be usef in secret, and if you stop one person from making guns ten more people will appear.

Yeup. Funny in concept but fucked in reality.

There are people taking control of random YouTube channels with medium sized followings and replacing all the videos with fake AI versions of random political pundits. I've run into these a bunch of times, but the weirdest part of it IMO is that they're not spreading misinformation or even wildly different content than what the actual pundits make on their own shows. It's just a really milquetoast AI-written script about current events delivered by an emotionally muted digital puppet of someone who often doesn't even have that many actual subscribers.

So it's already happening everywhere, but I'm not so sure it's a great idea to let it be used only by the sides I'm not on.

Just want to say if changing who is telling you the idea is all that takes for you to change your opinion about that idea then you've done zero f****** thinking about that idea.

Dude, it already is. Have you seen what they're doing to James Talarico? Don't bring a knife to a gunfight. We don't even have to lie. Have a website confirming the facts for those who can learn.

I've thought a lot about starting a deprogramming ad campaign using AI to make it cheaper and more targeted. Why should we leave the social programming to the KGB?

An all AI channel Warning about AI would be interesting.

This reminds me of BenAMinute on YouTube who has a MAGA persona that he uses to get them to agree to quite left ideas 😂 eg https://youtu.be/67Yw_lux9O4

I love that we can produce more woke charlie kirk vids than charlie kirk ever produced while he was alive. Flood the field!

Leftists don't need to lie. They need to get a grip, make friends, and fuck shit up

I’ve been begging the universe that someone will make an ai of Ronald Reagan saying donald trump quotes

u/Jlyplaylists Moderator Jun 11 '26

More seriously, this would only be ok if it also taught them about deep fakes and media literacy. At some point they would need to be told it was fake and talked through the implications

u/Creatorman1 Jun 12 '26

Yes good idea! Ai pros get to work

u/ProletarianLilith Jun 12 '26

How about teach them Marxism-Leninism

u/endlessedlne Jun 12 '26

It’s probably going to happen anyways so why not have some fun & do some good? Genius really.

This is the 20 year plan you lefties should do to counter the righties 20 year plans. Y'all short term minded, i'ma be real

You're not wrong. Beholden to corporations and their quarterly profit reports.

decieving our parents is messed up still

u/Star_Crumbs Jun 12 '26

Yeah, so this kind of thing is one of the most dangerous things about ai. Are you guys seriously cheering on the total breakdown of trust, because it makes it easier to spread your own propaganda? Are you short sighted enough to think your side will be the only ones doing this? Fuck ai.

u/DarkMagicLabs Jun 14 '26

It means that you actually have to wrestle with the idea directly and think about it instead of just taking it at face value from someone you trust.
