@teslatakedown.co.uk I don't understand why images like this don't unsettle people the way that they unsettle me. I don't claim to be able to detect all AI images this way, but this kind of thing? It shouldn't be useable for any purpose... it's just ... upsetting.

@adef187 @teslatakedown.co.uk Millions of views. Why doesn't this stuff just turn people off? This is like waking up and everyone is going crazy for trypophobia makeup. They all think it's wonderful and I feel like I've stumbled into the bodysnatchers movie. As soon as I detect this stuff I click away ... even if it isn't obviously gross... the swimming, dreamlike nature of even tame images triggers nausea-- I'm talking about a physical reaction.

@adef187 @teslatakedown.co.uk The other day my husband who is not a "very online" person showed me a video he liked of capybaras standing on each others back. He just found it funny and delightful. He knows it's fake obviously. I thought it was horrible, because of the texture of their hair, the errors in the shadows, it was just made of WRONGNESS.It really made me feel like there is something wrong with me. :(

@futurebird @adef187 @teslatakedown.co.uk I'm afraid that generating this reality noise will have horrible consequences down the line - if nothing is true, only opinion/ideology/in-out-group matters

@adef187 @teslatakedown.co.uk He was disappointed I couldn't enjoy it with him, and felt bad that I had such a deep negative reaction to something that on the surface is "cute."And he can't see whatever it is that's setting me off.

@futurebird @adef187 @teslatakedown.co.uk if it means something, I have the same reaction - but it's also because of knowing what's behind the technologyit's like meat eater vs. vegan looking at a steak - even not having to eat it the reactions are different on a visceral level

@futurebird Uncanny valley is very much a real thing and if anything can find your triggers it is the Internet.For example, I bet older meme videos with bad shops and such probably bother you less.The recent stuff with image gen "AI" probably fueled your current sentiment.

@futurebird @adef187 @teslatakedown.co.uk I've started to find that when I search "red panda" on YouTube that the Shorts especially are becoming infested with AI crap. They're always creepy looking. Which is amazing in itself, that a representation of an objectively cute animal can look so unsettling. The videos look like they're aimed at children and I bet they're AI scripts chock full of incorrect information "read" by an AI narrator. Gross.

@futurebird @adef187 Drugs and poisons both work on us because they take advantage of chemistry we evolved to survive. AI slop is no different. There is no moral implication. ♥️🤜

@mmby @adef187 @teslatakedown.co.uk It's that creeping feeling there are bits and pieces of other images hidden in these AI generated art works. Any shape or texture could be using elements from ... anything... all of reality is blended together into a Cronenbergian monstrosity. If you could touch them you might discover that the fur on the capybaras was more like seaweed or sand... there are no boundaries and you don't really know what has created the textures.

@beecycling @adef187 @teslatakedown.co.uk When you know an animal well the AI versions of that animals are especially upsetting.

@futurebird @adef187 @teslatakedown.co.uk Definitely. I expect there will be masses of these low quality videos about animals, aimed at kids. They can make dozens of them in a day, all absolute dross and chuck them up on YouTube, presumably for the ad revenue.

@futurebird🤔An uncanny valley corollary? Train of thought:While we previously applied the phrasing to humans, maybe that's only because we all see human faces frequently enough to be very familiar with them, and that's where the work was going into the art. Now we're talking about a significant amount of "work" going into making "art" that subject matter experts are familiar with and therefore see as creepy...@beecycling @adef187 @teslatakedown.co.uk

@futurebird @adef187 @teslatakedown.co.uk I can't say that I've experienced this very often, but AI generated whales really freak me out. Vertical tail fins. Tall dorsal fins. Very unsettling, here's an example. I'm sure you want to see 😂

@ryanjyoder @adef187 @teslatakedown.co.uk Honestly, I don't look at whales often enough to notice but now that you have pointed it out I see it. That's not your child! It's some kind of ... mimic!Almost all AI ants do this to me constantly. But that's why we should point it out. Once you see it? It never goes away. The illusion is broken.

@ryanjyoder @adef187 @teslatakedown.co.uk This image is not trying to pass itself off as a photograph so it's a little less upsetting to me. It's clearly stealing from the work of many skilled mural and ocean wildlife artists. And probably Lisa Frank too.

@futurebird @ryanjyoder @teslatakedown.co.uk I think the point of it all, which is actually worse, is to figure out what penetrates most effectively through brute force. I'm worried about what's going to be done with those methods once they've got it nailed down

@futurebird @adef187 @teslatakedown.co.uk Sounds to me like you have a very healthy sense of what's right or wrong. I sometimes get a sense like that. Usually not very strong, but I often immediately see from the store of an image that it's AI fakery.I think I know the feeling you get. I used to get the heebie jeebies from a certain denk realistic cartoon character used in advertising decades ago. Some AI gives me an inkling of that same feeling.

@futurebird "It's that creeping feeling ..." Ah, the mathematician in you.You don't just like categories, you're built to detect them and react badly if they're mixed.Some of us just don't have that.My SO can smell perfume or cigarettes at 100 yards; I just take her word for it.
