I have truly noticed a change in how I am engaging with content nowadays, I have become more reluctant on clicking on links to articles or videos that have been made in these last few years, and when I do I started by looking for clues if it has been generated by ai. if the voice is human or generated, if the pictures are of real events or slop. I mistrust everything. and it’s exhausting. earlier slop was easier to detect nowadays it’s becoming impossible.
I wanted to watch some videos on the house centipede today (just wanted to see it move) and the first many videos where just AI edited with AI voice. Real video clips though.
I recently found what looked like a good resource on semiconductors and it even had a sick feature where you could download parts (or all of it) in a pdf and it was really nicely typeset! I tried finding out if the name of the website was someone you could trust (like a professor) or if others had mentioned using the website but I didn’t find anything. I then got the awful suspicion that it’s all just fucking AI generated…
These fucking clankers ruined the internet.
A lot of content creators have started adding a few seconds of voice over to the beginning of videos because people will immediately stop watching a video if they are at all suspicious that it’s AI generated and the dead give away is the AI voice.
