It was all fun and games two years ago when most AI videos were obvious (6 fingers, 7 fingers, etc.).

But things are getting out of hand. I am at a point I’m questioning if Lemmy, Reddit, Youtube comments etc. are even real. I wouldn’t even be suprised if I was playing Overwatch 5v5 with 9 AIs while three of them are programmed to act like kids, 4 being non toxic etc…

This whole place could just be an illusion.

I can’t prove it. Its really less fun now.

The upside is I go to the gym more frequently and just hang out with people I know are 100% real. Nothing worse than having a conversation with AI person. It was just an average 7/10 like I am an average 5/10 so I thought it could be a real thing but turned out I was chatting with AI. A 7/10 AI. The creator made the person less perfect looking to make it more realistic.

Nice. What is the point of internet when everything is fake but can’t even or only be identified as fake with deep research.

I’m 32 and I know many young people who also hate it. To be fair I only know people who hate on AI nowadays. This has to end.

    Kitten is a new devkit to create self-hosted, peer-to-peer web applications, using HTML/CSS and Javascript. I can’t attest how well it works but it’s a step in that “small web” direction.

    Because, like, Gemini is cool. But sometimes you want something more than just a capsule.

    But I think this is likely more a societal issue than a technical one.

    It’s both, in a vicious cycle. At the same time that big tech herds passive people into walled gardens, it also passivises the people inside them even further. And those walls are not just between different feuds - they’re also between customers and developers, making sure that each knows their place as serfs and vassals of big tech respectively.

    I think the internet as is, is a solid choice. It’s been made to connect people (and their computers). And it’s initially been used for that.

    The main problem with the current internet is that it has no mechanism against a commercial/hostile/corporate takeover, like the one that we saw. As you said it was made to connect people and computers; it is not like this any more.

    (Sorry for not deepening the subject further. I’d need to get into political matters to do so, and doing it in this comm leaves me a sour taste in my mouth - as if distorting an environment supposed to be refreshing into the same stuff we see in 90% of Lemmy. )
