That’s my issue with people saying stuff like “I can immediately tell when a picture is made with AI and I hate how they look”
Your assesment doesn’t take into account all the false negatives. You have no idea how many pictures have tricked you already. By definition, the picture is badly made if you can immediately tell it’s AI. That’s a bit like seeing the most flamboyantly gay person on the street and thinking all gays look like that and you can always spot them while the closeted friend you’re with flies perfectly under the radar.

I recently saw a photo on some website. It was from a Trump rally, and people had these freaky, ecstatic looks on their faces. Somebody commented that it looked like AI. Other people soon agreed; one of them remarked on the bizarre, “alien” hand on one of the babies in the crowd. That hand did look weird. There were too few fingers. It looked like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle hand.
The problem was that this image was originally from a news story that was years prior to ChatGPT and the current AI boom. For this to be AI, the photographer would’ve had to have access to experimental software that was years away from being released to the public.
Sometimes people just look weird and, sometimes, they have weird hands, too.
Promethiel@lemmy.world 2 months ago
While your point that sometimes people just have AI image associated traits is very salient, I worry you might not be considering the lengths these things will be used and why online discourse (in my worried opinion) is utterly fucked: The past ain’t safe either.
For now we still have archive.org but without a third party/external source validating that old content…you can’t be use it’s actually old content.
It’s trivial to get LLMs to get image gen prompts done to “spice up those old news posts” at best (without remembering to tag the article edited/updated or bypassing that flag entirely)…and utterly fuck the very foundation of shared and accepted past reality not just presently but to anyone using the internet itself to look through the lens of the past.

AI image generators have been around for a fairly long time. I remember deepfake discussion from about a decade ago. Not saying the image in discussion is though. I remember Alex Jones making conspiracy theories that revolved around Bush and lossy video compression artifacts too.

Reminds me of all the people who believe commercials and advertising doesn’t work on them. Sure, that’s why billions are spent on it. Because it doesn’t even do anything. Oh it only works on all the other people?
That’s why it is so hard to get that stuff regulated. People believe it doesn’t work on them.
Donkter@lemmy.world 2 months ago
That’s the real fear of AI. Not that it’s stealing art jobs or whatever. But that all it takes is for a politician or business man to claim something is AI, no matter how corroborated it is and throw the whole investigation for a loop. It’s not a thing now, because no one knows about advanced AI (except for internet bubbles) and it’s still thought that you can easily differentiate images, but imagine even 5 years from, or 10.

Many unedited or using old Ai images I can detect with one look. A few more I can find by looking for inconsistencies like hands or illogical items.
However I am sure there will be more AI generated images that may even be a little bit edited afterwards that I can’t detect.
You will need an ai to detect them. Since at least in images ai is detectable by the way they create the files.

In AI-generated sound you can see it in the waveform, it has less random noise altogether and it seems like a huge, well, wave. I wonder if sth similar is true for images.

People are freaking out because for years, the central dogma was to “educate yourself, that makes you special, that makes you unique, that guarantees you a prosperois economic future” and such, and now this promise is about to be broken. People are in denial: AI is a good thing.
boonhet@lemm.ee 2 months ago
People are in denial: AI is a good thing.
Not in our broken ass system. First we need an economic system where people want to, but don’t need to work.
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
That better system looks more realistic now that we can have AI and robots do nearly everything. The artificial scarcity is becoming more and more obvious.
callyral@pawb.social 2 months ago
if you don’t have a job, you don’t get paid, so you lack basic things.
if robots just did everything and necessities (food, water, heating, cooling, etc) were free, that’d be great, but that’s not the reality we live in right now, so of course people don’t like AI.
also what is the point of AI generated images? why would AI doing creative work (i.e fun work) be a good thing
Allero@lemmy.today 2 months ago
Isn’t this hate somewhat misplaced, still? Like, AI under capitalism might hurt you, but the problem is not AI.
Instead of working on core issue, many people try to ban every symptom, and it might be a very simple distraction tool.
Randomgal@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
I agree 100% with this. Often arguments “against” AI summarize to “it is my suffering what gave my art value, so yours has none.”
Bro, that’s what capitalism told you. Your issue is not the “value” of AI it is the system that assigns and controls said value.
nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 2 months ago
Often arguments “against” AI summarize to “it is my suffering what gave my art value, so yours has none.”
I see it more as: "AI is being used to increase suffering and kneecap labor, especially forms of labor which are considered pleasant. In the process, nearly every cent surrounding LLMs replacing workers is getting redirected to the already wealthy.

Bullshit. AI is taking over everything I enjoy doing. Drawing, writing, making music, what will be left to accomplish? To create? To have pride in?
There’s no pride in clicking generate every couple minutes.

DillyDaily@lemmy.world 2 months ago
As a visually impaired person on the internet. YES! welcome to our world!
You’re lucky enough to get an image description that helpfully describes the image.
That description rarely tells you if it’s AI generated, that’s if the description writer even knows themselves.
Everyone in the comments saying “look at the hands, that’s AI generated”, and I’m sitting here thinking, I just have to trust the discussion, because that image, just like every other image I’ve ever seen, is hard to fully decipher visually, let alone look for evidence of AI.

Alt text: a beautiful girl on a dock at sunset with some fugly hands and broken ass fingees
Adalast@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Honestly, auto generating text descriptions for visually impaired people is probably one of the few potential good uses for LLM + CLIP. Being able to have a brief but accurate description without relying on some jackass to have written it is a bonefied good thing. It isn’t even eliminating anyone’s job since the jackass doesn’t always do it in the first place.
thirteene@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’ve never seen a good answer to this in accessibility guides, would you mind making a recommendation? Is there any preferred alt text for something like:
- “clarification image with an arrow pointing at object”
- “Picture of a butt selfie, it’s completely black”
- “Picture of a table with nothing on it”
- “example of lens flare shown from camera”
- “N/A” dangerous
Sometimes an image is clearly only useful as a visual aid, I feel like “” (exluding it) makes people feel like they are missing the joke. But given it’s an accessibility tool; unneeded details may waste your time.
DillyDaily@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I guess my question would be, why do you need the picture as a visual aid, is the accompanying body text confusing without that visual aid? and if so, by having no alt text, you accept that you will leave VI people confused and only sighted people will have the clarification needed.
If your including a picture of a table with nothing on it, there’s a reason, so yes, that alt text is perfectly reasonable.
Personally I wish there was a way to enable two types of alt text on images, for long and quick context.
Because I understand your concern about unnecessary detail, if I’m in a rush “a table with nothing on it” will do for quicker context, but there are times when it’s appropriate to go much deeper, “a picture of a hard wood rustic coffee table, taken from a high angle, natural sunlight, there are no objects on the table.”

Is there no software that can just tell you if it’s AI generated or not?
0ops@lemm.ee 2 months ago
They exist but none of them are perfect - they can’t possibly be perfect. It’s a bit of an arms race thing where AI images get more accurate and the detection software get more particular to match, however the economic incentives are on the side of the former.
DillyDaily@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I think so, but I don’t have the mental energy at the moment to sit down and figure out if the AI detection software is accessible either. I know some of my colleagues use programs to check student work for LLM plagerism, but I don’t assign work that can be done via an LLM so I haven’t looked into that, and that’s different from the AI images.

Lemmy.World is the largest instance, and they preemptively defederated from hexbear.net a year ago, citing several examples of user comments that they wanted to protect their own userbase from.
Many other large instances have done similarly - another one is programming.dev (statement), although in their case if was merely to prevent one-sided conversations after hexbear.net defederated from them. The funny part of that story is how the admins took a vote, which indicated an unwillingnesd to defederate (27 to 19) but then did it anyway:-).
Anyway, many users of hexbear.net have made quite the reputation for themselves around the Fediverse, to the point where MANY instances felt the need to defederate from the entire instance (think: Truth Social but claiming to be leftist). And at this point, many users on it seem proud of that or at least consider it part of the cost of traversing the wider Fediverse using an account based on hexbear.net.

One thing that happened is that I see AI spam farms less and less on some platforms, others are started to refusing to label theirs as such on art platforms like Pixiv, to have a wider reach (they get immediately blocked and mass reported by normal people).
