The fake Pentagon explosion,

$100million drop in the market. Russia immediately reposted it everywhere. AI generated. Was it Russia, or has someone made a fortune?

And this is just the start……….

9/11 wasn't fake.

Or Benghazi, Bhopal.

To my mind there's no right of free speech that's not the work of a human being; machine-generated AI will never make the cut.

Let those who fall for reports of non-events pay the price.

Re: The fake Pentagon explosion,

For all the opportunity created by the internet (world's largest library), it is clear that our society has not kept up with our technology. Between this sort of thing and Fox News with all the blogs and pundits lying at every opportunity, it makes me wonder how we will ever become a mature society that can tell truth from lies.

This is why I never edit my photos in post, what comes out of my camera is what I shot, blemishes and all.

I saw on the news yesterday there is a new Photoshop that is incorporating AI. They were concerned with making false or misleading images so they are going to include a tag or some marker that when AI is used some form of digital watermark will be embedded.

Re: The fake Pentagon explosion,

A bit ironic - as these folks rush their AI creations to market, sans safety nets, they are actually undermining their products - no one will trust the end results.

Of course, there will also be collateral damage.

This illustrates one of my main concerns about the stock market. A quickly debunked picture gets posted and the market tumbles, Jerome Powell sneezes and the market tumbles, corporate profits are good but not as expected and the market tumbles...There's nothing particularly rational about it.

I've probably got 3 decades worth of trips around the sun left in me, some days I just hope the Ponzi scheme holds out longer than I do.

Re: The fake Pentagon explosion,

Had I viewed a Twitter pic of this “explosion” my first step would have been to immediately searched for DC news. If there had been such an explosion, there would have been live coverage ongoing.

Re: The fake Pentagon explosion,

I wonder how much of the drop was automatic and not a human decision? Not that humans are much good at it either, such a pic might just kick in the fight or flight reaction in humans. Flight being this one and 'wham bam, thank you stock market' and buybuybuy.
