Just when you think you've seen it all: "Models and influencers crafted with artificial intelligence can now jockey for the title “Miss AI.” Yup, the world’s first AI beauty pageant has arrived to crown faux humans for their pixelated perfection. AI-generated contestants will be judged on their looks and poise, as well as the technical skill that went into creating them. They’ll also be appraised for their online pull." https://www.forbes.com/sites/leslie...ed-on-looks-and-social-clout/?sh=290bdb41a55e Looks like anyone can join and there's a $5K prize so if any of you are good at creating hot, fake women, here's your chance: https://miss-ai.webflow.io/ -- One thing I noticed: these fake AI women never show both ears. Whats up with that? its hard to generate ears or something? Also- if they had a beauty contest for dead women we used to have a poster here who would win haha
Hmm, I think AI has a long way to go before real people are ready for such a fake pageant. Here's an article seen on MSN.com today that was either produced by AI or a Brit in a cave somewhere. Bill Belichick set to make history as NFL icon closes in on new job (msn.com)
It's happening everywhere now, the good thing is that AI is known to flat out lie about things, so it's going to get stupid and lazy people in trouble at least. Just not in the press.
Lies? On the internet? But you don't need AI to "flat out lie." And people take it all in... TikTok users aren’t just kids mindlessly scrolling dance videos. Roughly one-third of Americans aged 18–29 regularly get their news from TikTok, the Pew Research Center found in a late 2023 survey. Nearly half of all TikTok users say they regularly get news from the app, a higher percentage than for any other social media platform aside from Twitter. www.cjr.org/the_media_today/democrats_tiktok_news_ban_biden.php#:~:text=Roughly%20one-third%20of%20Americans,media%20platform%20aside%20from%20Twitter.
Of course it's bullshit but this is America - where political hacks celebrate their Constitutional ignorance in grandstanding for their ignorant constituency...which looks to Twitter and TikTok for information.
Never in the history of this country has a foreign adversary been able to own a major media outlet. The US does the right thing in forcing them to sell to a US company and AMERICAN’s who don’t use it are saying it’s bullshit?
What in our system of law prohibits foreign ownership of media sources? The bigger question is why are so many Americans content to both feed and eat from the unreliable table of social media.
Does it have to be in the law for it to be retarded to allow the youth of America to be subject to content and algorithms controlled by one of our enemies? You just posted how many youth get their content from there. Go read about what TikTok is like in China in terms of content and the restrictions placed on it for folks under age.
For 248 years the "youth of America" has been sufficiently aware to question their sources of information - why should that change now at the cost of stifling free speech?
It doesn’t stifle free speech as there are a dozen other social media platform. It also doesn’t dictate a ban, it dictates that a CCP-backed company can’t own it in the US. Not that hard to follow. It’s like if the New York Times was owned by Russia in 1981.
Nothing in the Constitution forbids freedom of speech by foreigners. Deciding how many outlets are sufficient and which get shut down will never pass the test of Constitutionality regardless of who owns it. You're going to need a Constitutional Convention to have done what you're advocating. Good luck with that.
Which does nothing to shut down Tik Tok. Tik Tok has not been deemed a security concern and if that should happen the Constitutionality will surely be tested. The owner says it is not for sale. ⚖️ What are the 1st Amendment concerns with the TikTok ban? Jameel Jaffer, executive director of the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, said in a statement Wednesday that the ban is “unconstitutional.” “The First Amendment means that the government can’t restrict Americans’ access to ideas, information or media from abroad without a very good reason for it — and no such reason exists here,” Jaffer said. “Repackaging the government’s reasons for the ban in the language of ‘national security’ does not change the analysis. There’s no national security exception to the First Amendment.”
Fuck that ban. Tik Tok directly employs 8,000 Americans and pays them well. We should be happy to have them These dickhead politicians can’t agree on anything but they all agree on destroying a business like this.
