I don’t usually do topical, but I wanted to grab a snapshot.
So, there’s this fish that has walky legs. And there’s these images of Asian Auntie culture, which also features lots of fish. And there’s these newly identified Nazca Lines, found with the help of AI image processing. Finally there’s this article about AI slop.
I think the first fish is real but those videos don’t particularly look higher fidelity than some of the not-even-newest gen ai stuff. But it took me a minute. The Asian Aunties are definitely generated. The Nazca lines, I hope those are legit and a retraction isn’t issued in a few months. I included the last one to have someone else’s take for reference.
That’s the state of the world today. Everything is doubtable and doubtful it seems.
Email me your most doubtful but true internet stuff.
