    Good. Fuck everything about Facebook and their advertising empire. Let it burn.

    Hmm. On second thought, I’ll fire up A1111 and start making fakes to fuel the fire.

      Good is shortsighted. It will be here too eventually. Fuck Facebook, but hopefully we don’t build a weapon that’ll hurt us all, though in fully aware we have and are.

        It is already here, half of the article thumbnails are already AI generated.

          Yep, Lemmy is littered with AI art just like everywhere else and if people notice they sure aren’t saying anything.

            Yeah, but these are accompanying text posts to give a visual. Thats different from using AI to copy art of people and flood the social media feeds. That I have not seen here yet.

    Who’s still using facebook? Oh. Morons. The people least capable of responding well to fake posts.

      It’s the normie trap. We made the mistake of letting normies in on our Internet and now we try to contain them on Facebook because they have ruined the Internet.

        Too few people realize this is actually the source of all the world’s current problems. We never, ever should have let the normies on here.

          They were even worse before the internet, it’s hard to deal with but this isn’t even close to as bad as humanity has been.

          It’s kinda strange, the Eternal September was before my time and now we have whole generations of even tech-affine people who never heard of usenet. Which btw just like email pre-dates the internet.

            Email predates WWW, it’s fuzzier to determine if email is older than packet routed internet because both standards evolved in parallel so you have to pick and choose what counts on each end. First use of @ or creation of SMTP? First network with 3+ organizations or creation of TCP?

              I’d actually date it back to UUCP and BBSes exchanging batches of messages once a day or so. The days of routing by bang path.

      Ah yes, there’s always someone shocked to find that there are actual users of a site that has been growing continuously for 15 years and reports over 3 billion MAU.

      Your social circle is not the world.

    I mean my mom has been fooled by this sort of thing on email chains for over a decade.

    A lot of people just want to believe this kind of stuff.

    Reality is dead.

    Or maybe it’s still alive somewhere, but nobody can find or identify it anymore.

    Does the entire west coast of the US run on Facebook too? ‘Cuz that was a big unwelcome surprise when I moved to BC.
