I believe this is actually one of the main objectives of gen AI. Since anyone can now generate believable fake content about anyone and anything, any politician or billionaire can dismiss legit evidence as generated by AI. Only official sources will be considered trustworthy and they'll say whatever is in the oligarchs' best interests.

I've said it often, that the reason you see the biggest supporters of GenAI being right wingers and their proxies is because they know they can never compete on facts and truth, so rather than changing what they are.. they are gonna use GenAI to change reality itself for all their idiotic supporters.

This is why Sam Altman was so keen for people to use him in Sora clips. He can claim that literally any compromising photo or video of him is just AI generated. It's the boy who cried wolf, except the boy wants people to stop believing him.

I feel like some people here are missing the joke. The point is yes it's a very convincing AI photo. The fact that people believe it's real shows why we need AI regulations.

Thank you I had to search this up.

You can tell it's fake because it's not a gold, jewel-encrusted walker

I believe that the current republican plan is to run the clock out.

They will not release un-redacted Epstein files until after Donald Trump dies.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 88 points 4 days ago (4 children)

That's because Trump wasn't a client, or even a business partner, he was Epstein's friendly competitor. Trump ran his own underage model trafficking ring.

He certainly attended Epstein parties, but he also held his own underage sex parties.

This link talks about it more, and has an interview from Luther Campbell, AKA Uncle Luke of 2 Live Crew about attending, and fleeing, from such a party.

As an added bonus, here's the history of Trump and John Casablancas.

Trump was part of the child sex trafficking scene before Epstein was.

100%, this is the plan. The only thing Republicans are honestly worried about right now is if Trump dies before his term is over, which is why so many are already jumping ship and why there's so much contention in the party right now. A LOT of republicans are about to lose seats, lose face and lose power, and the only thing keeping them from also facing legal prosecution is that Trump gives pardons the way he passes gas. Often and without care, yet nobody talks about it.

You had me until I zoomed on the face. He looks like he's not regularly sundowning.

So it must be an old picture.

I suspect he wouldn't be shuffling around behind a $30 walmart/amazon generic walker. They'd have an aide at his sides or push him around in a wheelchair with a fake cast on his foot.

I'd say it's a relatively decent looking fake.

Yeah, they'd wheel him around behind the scenes in a golden wheelchair and only have him sitting. They'd never risk this photo in real life.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 71 points 4 days ago (1 children)

In other news, I’ve signed an executive order that states Donald Trump doesn’t get to eat anymore. This is valid and legal, as my executive order says it is valid and legal.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 16 points 4 days ago (9 children)

Pfft, rookie executive ordering right here. I've just signed a very cool and very legal executive order stating that the orange child rapist should be beaten with a baseball bat every hour on the hour.

The walker legs work fine at first, but I'm getting a headache staring at them because they're uncanny. Also, funny that the AI "knows" the rear legs should have tennis balls, so it colored the feet that way.

I actually bought this for a minute because his dementia is causing visible issues with his stride. Watch his swing his right leg in a semi-circle. Doctors say that's a clear sign.

This is pretty impressive imo.
What gives it away as ai slop? I'm not seeing anything standout.

[–] DrDickHandler@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Good AI generated images are indistinguishable from real ones (you just haven't been noticing them). AI slop is just lazy generations without any touch ups or polishing and mass produced by bots.

Clearest reasons:

Cheap $30 walker

Not his current face structure. he hasn't looked like that since before 2019

Exit sign while blurred doesn't read exit.

The photo is very potato, while the bokeh is clearly strong. You don't get that depth of field at 15 ft on a cell phone. you'd need an slr and a telephoto, which he clearly would not allow

carpet pattern is at a odd angle. the next pattern back is square. the one at the base of the walker is several inches deviated between the two wheels.

no leg braces, legs are too trim

less clear reasons:

the left door configuration is screwy, if you close or open the two visible doors in the picture, you'll have trouble making their geometry fit with what would work in the hallway/office shape. the open on the left has a pushbar, but the right side has a handle. they don't lineup, if this is an extended hall and that's an open office on the right, it's covering up a LOT more of the hall than it should perspective wise.

They'd have him in a chair, or walking with people as aids to hide it.

This kinda thing is the thing people were warning about.

[–] DillDough@lemmy.zip 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Gee if only a certain someone didn't just ban any form of regulation on AI even down to the state level.

Hey Lemmy users is there a way we can ban AI images/posts without an AI or AI tag on it?

So what happens if a state regulates AI anyway? It's like in EU where if a country refuses they will say "bad country! bad!" and maybe lose some funds?
