People who are like "I can still tell it's fake!" are missing the points:

• It's been like a year since AI art has started being taken seriously and within that time it's overcome hands. technology improves faster than you think and with it improving this fast the future has endless potential to do even more with it.
• not everyone has the time to check stuff with photoshop.
• that includes older people and less tech-savvy people who will see a picture of something racist with a news article title and think this is real. Old people on Facebook will see something weird and take it for true
• of course the same stuff about AI art taking jobs and stuff, but I already went over that in another post
• Children. There were already a small group of pedophiles using AI art to generate children. this technology is fucking rotten.

the future is awful

I've seen very obviously photoshopped photos make the rounds on Boomer Facebook. I've seen pretty damn good edited photos make the rounds on Boomer Facebook. Whether AI makes it easier or will soon, idfk. But it's not a new kind of lie. It might become more prominent but it's not new.
