I think this next generation is going to have a real struggle with reality. Or they just won't care or know to care.

Yeah, generative artificial intelligence is gonna do a number on society. My hope is that AI generated content could be labeled, or detected as being AI. Or watermarked with something like SynthID, but an open standard.

"The AI-generated band known as BABYQUEEN is a Chinese girl group in the same vein as real-life K-pop acts. The group launched back in September with five virtual members, all of which were accompanied by social media accounts and personas to share their fictitious activities with fans."

the band's fictional management company ... announced that one of the members, Mity, was pregnant and would take maternity leave. The announcement, which was posted to the Chinese social media platform Weibo explained that Mity would be suspending her activities in the band to prioritize her "health" as well as prepare for childbirth.

Luckily, many people do not have the hardware to run decent open-weights models. And the open-weights community has been speaking out against using AI for bad. AI is a tool like a car. Can be used for good (point A to B) or bad (driving recklessly).

Open-weights models might even be safer, as they can find critical security flaws that closed models cannot.
