And I’m sure a depressing number of people will believe it’s real

In Canada in the 1980's there was a short TV commercial about media literacy portrayed as a nature documentary, about the endangered Canadian House Hippo. After 15 seconds the commercial pauses and a voice asks if you actually believed what you were seeing, encouraging viewers to think critically about what they saw on TV.
These days the closest thing to that is snopes.com , and people have to actively seek that out. Without the House Hippo it is us who are endangered.

An even more depressing number of people believes that the protest didn’t happen.

yes, and then a counter-misinformation war based on words and phrases that include “Its all AI generated”, “its not real”, “youre stupid for believing this” will take place and what we end up with is a generation that doesnt believe tiananmen square happened, or at best is skeptical of it. rinse and repeat for more dark spots in history and you’ve essentially hidden any lesson your prime-for-the-raping common populace has ever learned under a rug of misinformation

You’re in your Google bubble. Results are different for everyone. They are heavily changed by what you have previously googled.

I didn’t have the same results. I had to scroll a while before seeing this and it was clearly labeled as AI.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What country are you in? I’m trying to find out if this is per-country.
Kbobabob@lemmy.world 1 year ago
USA
I think it’s mostly based on what Google thinks you want to see. But who knows.

Fear mongering about AI is getting stupider by the day. Reaching satanic panic levels
Throbbing_Banjo@midwest.social 1 year ago
Sorry, I’m going to fully disagree with you there. There was no “Satan” behind the Satanic Panic; there weren’t hoardes of satanic teens sacrificing animals to Satan and eating babies, or any sort of movement trying to make that happen. It was just a fundie misinformation campaign designed to scare old white people into voting Republican.
The threat of AI-generated and assisted misinformation and disinformation, however, is very real, and has had disastrous effects in the real world. A casual glance at what Cambridge Analytica’s algorithms have done to the US political landscape is all you need to confirm these things are very, very different.

I think this is more about shitty Google search algorithms than fearmongering about AI, but it also looks like it may not be true.

DuckDuckGo does not seem to return it for me. Google does show it, but it’s from this article.

Could it just be an American thing? What country are you in?

Google results extremely depends on location and your olders searches. I don’t have this image as first, AND by scrolling its first instance is linking this article.
Articles like this ensure the problem stays.

Same here: very far from top result, and links to this same article.

Look at the shoddy build quality of those cars, damn.
GillyGumbo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Reporting in from US. The only results supporting this article are from the article itself. Garbage outlet. You should really just delete this post. It’s literally the driving force behind what you are complaining about.

It is not the first image for me either, but it’s pretty close to the top and there’s nothing to indicate that it isn’t real.

Norwegian chiming in. This photo linked from this article is the only ai generated selfie I can see. It is the seventh image result.
