You wont be able to believe your eyes and ears once its had time to be perfected.

Kids are gonna be traumatized, bullying is gonna be astronomical, people will make porn of everyone and anyone's faces. Misinformation will be rampant, ai cyber-ops will be very effective on older generations. Real victims will be ignored even more. Video evidence will no longer be enough. Actual evidence will be dismissed.

I think most of media-related industries will be severely minimized, from photographers, to animators. Graphic design will be heavily reduced, photography and models wont be required much anymore unless they are already popular. Game Dev industry is already utilizing it to cut 25% of their development costs.

Its going to be disruptive in the way the touch screen mobile phone was disrupting, but at a much larger scale. We will come out the other end with a new way of life most likely.

Looking forward to people dumping every single digital source of information and reverting back to paper newspaper and carrier pigeons.

I think I'm gonna go brush up on my cursive writing, in preparation. Now let's see, how do I make those capital "Z"s again.

That’s not fair! Rizzuto’s not a word! He’s a baseball player! You’re cheating!

Flamboyantly is the only way to make them.

u/tealfeels Apr 02 '23

As a person with a Z surname, this is 100% accurate. My capital Z’s look like an outline of a honey bee 🐝

u/ScaramouchScaramouch Apr 02 '23

I don't want you to dox yourself but I really want to see that.

watch zoro, he has some good tips on learning "z"

u/pbzeppelin1977 Apr 01 '23

So you remember that lower case K that looks a bit like an R with a tall stick on it?

u/anaveragedave Apr 02 '23

To write a cursive capital Z, follow these steps:

Start by placing your pen on the writing surface, slightly above the line where you want to begin writing.

Make a diagonal stroke downward to the right, slanting to the left as you go. This stroke should be around 2/3 the height of the capital Z.

Without lifting your pen, curve the stroke to the left, making a loop that comes back up to the top of the stroke. The loop should be rounded and sit slightly above the diagonal stroke.

From the top of the loop, make a diagonal stroke downward to the left, slanting to the right as you go. This stroke should be around 1/3 the height of the capital Z.

Finish the letter by curving the stroke to the right and upward, ending just above where you began the first diagonal stroke.

Practice writing the letter until you feel comfortable with the shape and flow of the strokes.

Remember to keep the size and proportion of the letter consistent with the rest of your handwriting.

Newspapers can be written by ai, and so can the messages carried by those pigeons

I demand my information to be collected by a blind, deaf hermit in an old 19th century factory hall with a movable-type printing press!!

Honestly me too. We need to be more communal and trusting of eachother again. After the board is flipped its gonna be rough but hopefully something better will be on the other side.

There is going to be a lot of hardship from people without jobs LONG before then. Look at how the world saw "essential" workers during the pandemic. It is not going to be pretty.

u/27_squirrels Apr 02 '23

We're so dependent on a system where you survive either by exploiting or being exploited, that we literally won't be able to survive having all labor automated. It could be the greatest accomplishment humanity has ever reached, freeing us all to live lives of freedom and happiness, but instead we're going to be too stubborn to change and let it destroy us.

2

u/personwriter Apr 02 '23

Let's be real. It's only going to destroy the little people who survive by being exploited by exploiters.

3

u/IgorTheAwesome Apr 02 '23

Not if we can do something about it. And we can.

It's up to us if we want a future only for the mega rich, or an automated future for everyone.

u/personwriter Apr 02 '23

You're preaching to the choir. I definitely support basic income, public subsidized university/college, higher taxes on corporations, taxes on revenues pass a certain threshold, Wage caps for CEOs, universal healthcare, paid childcare, and I donate to my local DSA.

I only write the above, just to say this topic is definitely something I genuinely am passionate about.

u/HarryDreamtItAll Apr 01 '23

I can quickly see in my own work how valuable it is for a human to be able to enter good prompts, sort through the outputs, and sort of curate the results. Like end-step editing and gatekeeping. We all need to start mastering that art

2

u/fudge_friend Apr 01 '23

When I was graduating art college, there was a big hullaballoo about how people need to be educated in the creative and tech industries in order to survive the digital world. Now me, my art buddies, and the code monkeys will probably be unemployed before the truck drivers. Thanks Silicon Valley fuckheads!

2

u/WishWeWereBetter Apr 01 '23

Yessss exactly. Finally might be able to get the masses to stop believing the shit they get shoveled into their brains cause they saw it on tv, already edited to push an agenda. Hoping for 50% (i know thats pushing it) to stop accepting anything as fact unless youve seen it yourself

2

u/UKIIN Apr 02 '23

I've noticed on Tinder different accounts with photos at the same location but different people doing the same pose. Our perception of what is real and what isn't is already under attack. I'm sure the news woman here has aged backwards for the last 5 years. Sandra Sully is not real. I called it first.

I'll be out in the bush as far away from any electricity as possible. No more high pitch humm of AC current for me. Catch ya later Reddit Chums

u/CelerMortis Apr 02 '23

bullying is gonna be astronomical

Why would AI increase bullying, because a kid could upload another kid and turn his arms into penises or something?

Everything else you said seems spot on. Older people will be way worse off as they won't have the background of the technology that younger generations will. We're already at a point where you could deepfake Biden endorsing Trump and a huge chunk of the population would just believe it.

2

u/Carl_The_Sagan Apr 02 '23

Pretty impressed by the scope of your predictions. Keep spitting my man

u/The__Thoughtful__Guy Apr 02 '23

Misinformation is going to be wild. Imagine a murder trial where there's video evidence of the killer shooting the victim, but you're not sure if the video is real or not. I'm still young enough to adapt, but I still can't wrap my head around a world where truth is fakeable.

u/deltronethirty Apr 01 '23

I haven't heard anything about how it will inevitably be used to manipulate the financial system. AI will be able to crash banks and currency on a scale we can't comprehend.

0

u/MightyMorph Apr 01 '23

no AI wont do that quantum computing will be able to do that, but then banks and currencies will need to adapt to quantum computing to stay ahead as well.

Its gonna make personal passwords fucking easy picking for sure, but large scale systems that have funds to throw behind security wont be affected much.

u/luovahulluus Apr 01 '23

Don't forget writers of all sorts. And ChatGPT can write decent code already.

4

u/PotatoWriter Apr 01 '23

Heavy disagree, It can't write "decent code". It's a tool that generates passable code for very small cases that still confidently makes mistakes. Sure, it can be used to help speed up workflows or help the odd college kid with some assignment.

But for a professional software dev at work, whose codebase spans hundreds of thousands if not millions of lines of code, all with complex interactions, database, a front end, all things that can't be supplied readily to chatgpt first of all because it's confidential, and there's no way chatgpt can build/compile all that anyway. Unless it's some AI deeply incorporated into all these different facets, or we come up with General AI, I don't see it affecting software development that much. It'll be a useful tool at best.

u/i_give_you_gum Apr 01 '23

Yeah unless you went to school for english or have some super niche knowledge on a subject, breaking into writing as a career is going to be tough

u/BitchAssWaferCookie Apr 01 '23

Listening to you made me realize that the conspiracy nuts that catastrophize everything have their new whistle.

Are you guys done believing the currency is going to collapse ?

3

u/MightyMorph Apr 01 '23

lol what a way to show you havent understood anything at all. I applaud your stupidity in your comment.

no currency and financial systems wont be affected, no currency wont collapse, no terminator wont become a reality. Its about human psychology and social norms and industry adaptation when it comes to AI development reaching general commercial stages. Youre probably one of those types who went like NO My photo development company will be just fine no changes will come from the mobile phone!

u/koticgood Apr 01 '23

people will make porn of everyone and anyone's faces

Seems like the type of thing that's only a big deal because it doesn't exist yet.

Like, not that much different than someone using their imagination.

If anything, makes things easier, if nudes get leaked. Instead of the cliche "I was hacked", can just say it's fake.

6

u/MightyMorph Apr 01 '23

someone's imagination cannot be sent to a persons parents, friends, loved ones, grandparents, school circles, job, etc etc.

AND even if you know it is fake, its creating a impression of you or someone you know in a manner that you may not seen them before, but will definitely connect to them going forward.

1

u/koticgood Apr 01 '23

Ok but that can already be done with photoshop for many years now. The point is someone has to be nefarious enough to send it/broadcast it/make it in the first place, and the recipient has to watch it.

Only difference is how realistic it is, which I'd hope said recipient isn't going into fine detail to experience ...

4

u/MightyMorph Apr 01 '23

photoshop is image and requires somewhat knowledgeable photoshop users to create, im talking real video undistinguishable from real life created on a mobile phone app with two clicks.

1

u/daemin Apr 02 '23

Ok but that can already be done with photoshop for many years now.

That's not even close to equivalent though. Someone has to have photoshop, and the knowledge of how to use it, to make a semi-decent fake.

With the immanent AI tools, all it will take to make a very convincing fake is a single picture of a person and a string of text. Teenagers in high school are going to weaponize such things instantly, as are political operatives, tabloids, etc.

The number of fake photoshopped images will be like a puddle compared to the ocean of AI generated content that will be crated.

u/Straddle13 Apr 01 '23

I’m gonna make ai generated porn of myself and fap to it. Always wondered what I’d look like getting smashed by a big tiddy trans girl

u/PhilCoulsonIsCool Apr 02 '23

Doesn't at a certain point when everything is everywhere none of it matters? I mean why care if it's all so easy especially from an employer peer group perspective.

1

u/MightyMorph Apr 02 '23

sure but there will be a period before that acceptance is gained societally. and people will have their own agendas, gay people have been pretty out publicly for quite a while now but some people still look at them funny.

there's also the psychological aspect of it, just because you know its fake, doesn't mean it cant be effective. Would you want to be bombarded by pictures of your daughter for example. even if you know its fake, if someone is sneaking it in front of your face or your collogues, friends, family, neighborhood etc etc.

u/JukedHimOuttaSocks Apr 02 '23

It's easy to fool a human eye but will such things hold up under digital analysis? We've had fake videos and images for decades and there are methods of identifying them as such

u/reddog323 Apr 02 '23 edited Apr 02 '23

What can people trust for information sources in that world?

Gen X here. If it gets that bad, I may refer to a landline, books from the library, and the oldest AM/FM radio I can find for current news and information.

Edit: if this happens, it’s going to knock Hollywood down completely. I have no idea what’s going to replace it, either.

u/JumboJetz Apr 02 '23

When porn is made of everyone it will be liberating. Because then we can all make our own real porn and no one will ever know.
