I just looked for ai slop on the internet and some videos are very realistic, so realistic it makes me doubt my ability to discern what’s real from what’s created to play with my emotions and generate money for the creator or advance an agenda.
I’m in my 40s. Video sites are full of what I assume overconfident people younger than me with comments like how boomers would believe any of these videos. I’m not that old myself yet but this stuff is scary. It can be used to denigrate a politician, to demonize or ridicule minorities, to share misinformation, to make porn using the face of somebody who rejected a disgruntled man…
It’s also very sad society actually wants this. It shows lots of people are actually very gullible and stupid.
A better question would be, how do I avoid being gullible with images and video so realistic? Because the more technology advances the worse it’s going to get.
Checking the channel that uploaded can also give a clue. A lot of the slop channels just flood variations of the same thing. They just post a thousand generated videos of different dog doing the exact same thing or “people” having the exact same fight etc.
Sorting videos by oldest can help too, if their first video predates AI it’s probably a decent indicator the channel is real
