300k fake likes on a fake AI image

It looks like Meta is doing another innovation, where they don't give a fuck and show ads to millions of fake users who are doing obviously fake AI posts and to millions of obviously fake AI repliers to those fake AI posts, then charge the advertisers for those ads and laugh all the way to the bank.

Dead internet theory is real, folks.
- Has been for at least 18 months according to the internal white papers of the ad agencies that forgot to revoke my email subscriptions.
  
  Was there some sort of major pivot in that timeframe?
  
  I would like to know more

There's so much of this shit on FB now- genuinely got a kick out of this one tho
- What the actual fuck
  What is her breathing tube connected to?? The fucking ocean? The sky?
  There's just so much going on here and all of it is so very, deeply wrong
  Edit: upon reflection, I'd rather see hundreds of fucked up pornographic AI images than even 5 more of these, these are just so incredibly fucked. The idea of a machine feeding on images of babies suffering and then spitting back up new babies suffering just really, really deeply bothers me.
  
  It is not about suffering even! The image is supposed to actually be "It is my birthday" engagement farming from an account that posts stuff like that all the time.
  The AI is just stupid, so it isn't able to correctly take an average of children birthday photos and is instead doing an average of random photos of children. It is so insane that AI now means... this. In the past, AI is supposed to mean an actual artificial intelligence, now it just means whatever this crap is. More generalized algorithms, I guess?
- There are like 3 similar pictures circling the interwebs. Most of the replies are just like "happy birthday" or "so nice" from other bot accounts.
  
  Have you seen the ai relatable memes and their bots circulating Reddit?
- The image is horrifying but I laughed at it too - it’s so bad it almost makes me feel a sense of relief that this “AI” is not all it’s cracked up to be.

What the fuck even is this picture.
God, if AI ever becomes sentient it will think we are so discusting
- This is not even the worst one. There are pictures that show what looks like a drowned baby holding a similar sign, also with ~300k likes.

  I absolutely do not want a link, but unfortunately, I fucking need it to wrap my brain around this cursed sentence
  please harm me with this link, I need to understand, and I recognize the cognitohazard
  edit: found one in these very comments - it will definitely haunt my nightmares

this is the vilest image ive ever seen
- ...so far!
- I would have agreed, and then I found out OP has access to worse
  here's a "drowned" one, courtesy of some other poor unfortunate soul
  my fucking eyes

Can't even be bothered to exploit real suffering people for content smh
- I don’t think Zuckerberg acknowledges the suffering of real people anywhere.

This is like the worst AI image I've seen in the last year

Facebook is absolutely crawling with this shit. 5000 like posts on the most random shit but 0 hahas, There's not a goddamn thing on the internet that some haters won't haha react to.
And you get like 3 posts from friends at the top, a few from groups, then literally every other post is "suggested for you" shit like this.Sometimes you get 2 or 3 in a row. It's a ducking crypt in there.
Yes, the interney is flush with bots everywhere, but I haven't found any site that is as vad as Facebook. I quit that shit a month ago because my friends don't even post anymore and if they do, I don't see it. Just fake shit and ads and ads and ads.
- The most annoying thing about facebook is the "you may know this person notification" the loudest fucking notification ever only to show you a porn bot

Is Hillary Clinton just out of frame, lying on the ground sucking this kid’s blood out through the straw gizmo on their right leg?

Amen

They were dangerously low on Leg Juice, crucial to survival

What? It could totally be their birthlday.

Is there not enough real human suffering in the world to monetize? Fucks sake capitalists would even automate the job of dying in poverty if it meant a penny of profit.

zuckerberg is desperate to be the machine learning leader, facebook has like the most or second most A100s purchased from NVIDIA and he seems really obsessed with the idea of LlaMa being a GPT competitor.
(i would wager oai's huge first mover advantage is too big to surpass for the time being, 'chatGPT' is synonymous with LLMs for laymen even though the model running it is practically obsolete at this point)

please mark this post nsfw

What if instead of paper clips the AI was programmed just to create likes? Ever think about that?

Birthlday

I haven't seen one of these with children myself... I've only seen the "sexy women amputee asking for somebody to tell them happy birthday/bless me" versions.
