Dead Internet Theory
The dead Internet theory argues that the Internet is now mainly made up of automatically generated content.
I’ve certainly made the mistake of believing AI generated content to be real, -luckily I had someone to tell me 🙂
Here’s a group that samples this kind of content:
Emberek, akik azt hiszik, hogy az Al által generált képek valódiak ›
The following image is an example from that page, -perhaps the comments have been AI-generated. The theme exists for very old uncles, super mothers, and perfectly identical manikins.
Private conversations can also be generated in this way. The other day Ludwig Lucas introduced me, his face was already suspicious, his unfamiliarity even more so, but when he initiated a conversation with me, the wording was unmistakably artificial intelligence. I deleted the poor thing, I hope she doesn’t feel too alone, in case there is someone behind her 🙂
What can be done?
We are flooded with beautiful pictures from social media. In one of the groups I’m in, the question was raised whether the attached 28-day moon photo was real or a picture thrown together by an artificial intelligence.
The https://illuminarty.ai , which, paradoxically enough, specialises in helping people find out if something is real, replied that? AI Probability: 2.6% So it’s supposed to be real.
For the same problem, the answer to the chatgpt app can be viewed by clicking on the following image, -explained-, just so I have no idea 🙂
Deep Fake
The story of someone’s voice recording of a few seconds being fed into an Ai program, and then generating any text for that voice. This is slowly becoming able to work in real time, so they are already developing the counter-software that can slowly determine in real time whether the caller is a generated voice. Click on the image below and after registering, you can compete with the software to see which one of you can tell the quickest and best whether a voice is real or fake.
If you have a serious business, think about how you prepare employees for the possibility that someone might call you on your voice on a Saturday to make a referral, cancel, etc., how you validate the call before taking action
And, speaking of telephones: illegally, and of course digitally, any phone number can be spoofed, so if you call back a suspicious number, don’t be surprised if someone picks it up and has no idea that their number is being misused to make unsolicited calls to others. This is something that the official telephone operators could do something about, but for some reason it is not in their interest.
CAPTCHA, a recent article in Telex, explains why it’s not a question mark, even if it drives us crazy sometimes, -.when a program wants to decide if I’m not a robot, – why it’s not whether I can find my bike’s headlights among the images it recognizes, but whether I’m sufficiently human, but the article also ends with a question mark “as AI evolves, it’s getting harder to find a captcha that the smartest robot can find, but the dumbest human can’t.”
