| It's funny how so many people are in your situation about to lose it over AI while I'm sitting here waiting for AI/LLMs to affect my life..like..at all. I seriously can't think of one major experience, positive or negative, that I have with AI in my day to day life. > being bombarded with tons of AI-written books, pornography, music, video, audio, images I don't come across any of these unless I am very actively looking for them. > try googling any historical figure and you'll find some bullshit AI generated image of them likely before the actual one. I just tried, and there wasn't a single AI generated result in the top 5 pages. I don't go on Twitter/X. I only subscribe to Reddit communities that I am genuinely interested in and which stay spam free. I frequent other sites like HN that have a very high ratio of signal to noise. I don't waste time on garbage SEO-bait blogs. I'm not even putting in that much effort to have a sane online experience. If I can do it, so can you. |

AI generated "hero" images are pretty common on blogs and other blog-like sites. I run into them all the time by just clicking links on HN. "AI" generated garbage has made me both more blind to them and more annoyed by the whole concept of a "hero" image.
Edit: here is and obvious example I found, just now: https://betterschooling.in/collection/education-and-healthca.... Literally the next post I clicked on after writing this. Look at how fucking terrible and obviously AI that hero image is. FFS, the "patient's" head is an exposed brain the best I can tell.
I was wasting time on YouTube the other day, and I come across a video (I think about the Alien franchise), that had a huge amount of AI generated images and videos. The video started with a message saying it was a remake of a previous one that apparently had some copyright strikes against it. It was disgusting and unwatchable.
