      I think we need to take full advantage of this and get them to take down companies for us. Doesn’t matter if it’s easy to prove wrong.

        I was more disappointed the article author didn’t think to call out that fact.

      That was my immediate reaction as well, thank you. Most of the generated images aren’t even significantly Luciferian in appearance such that they should be mistaken as such. These people are primed to hate anything that looks remotely evil to them. Zomg a figure with horns! 😱

    I hate AI art and think it’s just soulless, derivative pixels, but damn, I do approve of this use of it.

      I look at it like the modern equivalent of newspaper political cartoons, or maybe as an evolution to the photoshopped placards on Late Night comedy news monologues.

        I mean, yeah, but a person who feels things, struggles, and understands the world still creates those cartoons/placards. Not so with generative AI.

          Well, you can just feed AI a prompt and take the image that comes out, but that’s not how people do things anymore. AI art generation is now a complex set of image generation, in-/outpainting, tweaking, etc. I spent a couple of hours last night updating myself on how it is done, and I was shocked at all the changes that have taken place in the last six months. Now people are even passing their art through AI model subsets that they have trained themselves in order to get specific results, like specific backgrounds, vehicles, buildings… it’s incredible.

            I don’t think we’re going to agree on this, but that’s okay :)

            On one hand, I will agree, properly utilized, that it’s more like to a tool to be wielded than a “do it for me bot”; part of a larger process with the artist behind the wheel. On the other hand, though, I consider it the autotune of the visual medium (I’m not a fan of autotune in music, so at least I’m consistent?).

            I’m definitely not saying “AI art isn’t art”, but I am saying that I am not a personal fan of it. It just ruins the magic for me.

    The stupid are going to be hit the worst by AI. There is a clear lack of critical thinking in some groups, and things like this are going to have growing impact.

      Absolutely agree. I recently learned that twitter was important becuase it’s where people get news. Surprised, and scared, the hell out of me.

    I saw a post the other day saying our boomer like trait will be not being able to recognise AI generated content.

    Our kids are going to think we’re idiots.

      The amusing part is that we can’t even guess (accurately) what the actual tell will be. Somehow I don’t think the time gap between blinks is going to be it. I’m betting it’s going to be slang-based. There’s a reason kids use slang readily, and it’s often to separate the worlds of adult regulators and the ‘more free’ children/teenagers. Imagine AI trying to keep up with the slang, but just like adults, it will be unable to use it in the same way with all the pseudo-information packed into it.

    There’s a part of me that always wonders what would happen if some folks dressed in black cult-like robes would hold a public prayer in front of a school/kindergarten in order for the children to be welcomed into Satan’s warm embrace.
    Technically it’d be legal, right? Freedom of speech + freed of religion, ez pz.
    But I think a lot of people would flip their shit and I gotta say, from an outsider’s perspective, that would be pretty fucking funny to watch.

      Iirc, the Satanic Temple has done some things like that, usually in reaction to a specific equivalent act by an evangelical organization. They don’t do it often, I don’t think, because the backlash can end up being more harmful to the cause, but you’re not the first to suggest it.

        Yeah, if it weren’t for the damage that I know such a thing would cause, I would’ve loved to see it - just to enjoy the resulting circus.
        But I know that those kind of people would get others hurt or worse.

      Probably want to be so many feet off school property and have a lawyer on retainer. Ideally you’d want to use the stunt to point out some problem with a law rather than just to make pearl clutcher clutch.

    AI’s interpretation of Baphomet are pretty bizarre, not particularly satanic. That just makes this even funnier lol

        Thumbs through regulations. So long as you paint the Baphomet statue a semi-gloss Powder White, it should be fine.

    When are they gonna learn that freedom of religion doesn’t just apply to them?

    Oh, but what am I talking about. Learn, them? Ha.
