This is depressing.

This is just the beginning.

Full Alice mode at the bottom of the rabbit hole.

Why?

I think it's liberating.

You have a whole generation of depressed teenagers comparing themselves with genetic lottery winners, filters, and photoshop edits.

If everything online can be fake, than nothing online is real, which means nobody is 'beautiful' unless I see them in real life.

Feels like coming back full circle.

Was thinking the same thing. The old will become new again when everything is crowded out by AI

brucethemoose25• 3 years ago

Yeah. Its like the glitch in the matrix a whole generation needs.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a "dog"

That's now how human nature works. Airbrushing models in magazines has been at epidemic levels for decades. Has that stopped people aspiring to look like models?

The starkest example of this is in the '99 film Fight Club,in a scene where the characters mock a Calvin Klein bus ad featuring an impossibly chiseled model. The man doing the mocking is none other than Brad Pitt whose abs are even better than the model's. Something tells me the characters envisioned by the author didn't look anything like him.

It’d be liberating if people were realizing or accepting how artificial an aspect of modern life is and has been, and rejected it for a more meaningful life rather than ever-increasing and empty consumerism. That’s most certainly not the vibe I’m getting from this article, it’s more an affirmation of people giving up and throwing their hats into the economy of bullshit. That’s the opposite of what I would find liberating.

Per month? that's chump change. CarynAI earns $70k per day!

layoric• 3 years ago

How is that possible when they don't even disclose pricing on their main page? I'm not disbelieving you, I'm just struggling to understand.

fragmede2• 3 years ago

I misheard the numbers originally. the reported number is $70,000 in the first week.

Some point to ML models being the bad guy here, but I think its a good deconstruction of the whole Instagram influencer system, and modern marketing in general.

If all the top advertiser on , uh, "attractive selfie marketing platforms" are like this, maybe it will slowly shift user behavior? And there's more than one direction that could go, like more importance placed on the real (verified) person's actions, on institutions, or a general shift away from selfie marketing trust.

It will take a while to realize all they're watching is ads. Arguably influencers were ads too, but they were still humans acting and reacting. Now you get full ad experience end-to-end just in shape of a human, where real humans will be skipped.

brucethemoose25• 3 years ago

Arguably influencers were ads too

Precisely, and the human part is where the credibility and interest comes from.

AI is just leeching off that credibility now, but how long will it hold up?

agbrrw• 3 years ago

Arguably influencers were ads too, but they were still humans acting and reacting.

Do you think those influencers spend a single second reading the comments/private messages wankers send them? Unless they pay of course.

I think this is exactly what’s going to happen with “super smart unsafe AI”. If it’ll be abused and overused like this, people will just stop tuning in to those media sources where AI can easily dominate.

AI dominates instagram space? Why bother scrolling through it? It’s not interesting anymore. AI dominates online media? Why bother getting your information online?

galdosdi• 3 years ago

For grown ups sure.

For children (including "children of all ages"), who are extra suggestible and impressionable, it will be and already is very concerning.

arizen• 3 years ago

To me this sounds more like "message" problem, rather than "medium" one

Probiotic6081• 3 years ago

lmao.

hooverd3• 3 years ago

She's just a worse vtuber. I'll take a shark girl or awful white woman demon rapper over a generic Insta girl.

Also at first read I thought this was about an ML model, like GPT, hosted in Spain. One that wouldn't be available in the mid afternoon.

Racing04612• 3 years ago

The cool thing with commoditized ai is, you don't have to pick.

Everyone can create the perfect mix of stimulai that guy is looking for at that instant in time.

hooverd3• 3 years ago

I think there's something to knowning there's another human on the other side. If the content slop mill gives you everything you want all the time, it's somehow not as satisfying.

ratg13• 3 years ago

I think the headline is misleading.

The way this article describes it..

They created a character that they are animating in Photoshop with their graphic design skills.

Reading between the lines, because photoshop tools incorporate AI, that makes this an “AI model”
