> Most people have terrible eyes for distinguishing content.
But also in the case of the fluffy train there's nothing to compare it against. The reason CGI humans look the most fake is because we're trained from birth to read a human face. Someone that looks at trains on a regular basis will probably discern this as being fake quicker than most.
I'm wondering that as well but I also wonder if it's a bit like CGI where it's somewhat hit a limit on realness. I'm not saying CGI doesn't get better but is a 2024 Gollum that much more realistic than 2004 Gollum? Maybe I'm wrong but I wonder if that plastic feel to AI lessens but still sticks around.
It's funny how humans and companies have mined natural resources for theoretical progress, but we've come to a point that natural resources are being used to mine a fake resource that really serves zero purpose. What an absurd direction technology has gone.
Have you seen Youtube or Reddit comments on anything? They don't reflect real-life. Youtube is probably the worst, most trollish comments of the "normal" internet and Reddit is a sort of progressive propaganda machine that will also call for the death penalty on a teenager that did something stupid (which lots of teenagers do) or a karen that was an asshole in a restaurant and isn't happy with her life.
I haven't visited twitter in ten years or more so can't comment on that.
I don't have an answer to this, but why if the algorithm can manipulate people, regardless of who directed it, why are we ok with the algorithmic content of all the platforms? I'm not much of a social media user but a lot of the argument here is the algorithm can feed propoganda that people will succumb to.
Why is it ok then for Youtube to feed violence and awful behavior to people (probably to lots of kids) in the US if it's able to influence people? Is the thought that Meta and Google (both without ethics or morals) are just trying to get us to buy shit we don't need, but Tiktok is trying to get us to agree (or not agree) with their stance on x?
I honestly like my photos more from my iPhone 3 than my current iPhone SE. The photos were blurry, noisy, and crunchy while my current photos are just flat and without character. It's not nostalgia for me, it's the photos looking too good and a bit plastic.
It's more about people with a lot of money hoping to sell it for a greater return, while maybe also having shit taste in art. In five years it'll be at an auction and sell to some other person with too much money in hopes of making a profit on it later on.
> Imagine creating a game by describing scenes, like the ones in the article, with a good morphing technology between scenes, so that the transitions between them are like auto-generated scenes which are just as playable.
Why do you think this game would be good? I'm not a game maker but the visual layer is not the reason people like or enjoy a game (ex: nintendo). There are teams of professionals making games today that range from awful to great. I get that there are indie games made by a single person that will benefit from generated graphics, but asset creation seems to be a really small part of it.
Not entirely. I would buy one if there was one I liked that was in the price range I want to spend. It would be practical as in I don't want to pay $25k more than an ICE car for the same quality of vehicle. Neither cultural or political in my case.
It seems a bit cultural, a bit practical, and maybe a bit political? Tesla is an American company and seems like it was selling cars. There's no one stopping them so I'm not sure the oil industry is entirely to blame.
People who pay for a working game to play probably care. I'm not a gamer but I occassionally will try to pop something in every six months or so. Two hours later after I have to sign in from a controller, update the OS, then update the game I'm over it. I can't say that's all from shitty software development but some of it probably is.
We probably live in different places because I haven't found people to be all that rude where I've lived (cities), but America is huge and has hundreds of different cultures so I'm sure there are some where rudeness is more prevalent.
