It used to be that you could trust nothing that you heard and 10 % of what you saw–what now?

Artificially generated content will bring a lot of interesting developments to the world. Thats what was said. Now its being done.

Tell Chat GPT and it will produce whatever you wish. Not always 100% perfect, but if a company like Emirates feels compelled to denounce something - its getting close enough to hurt the bottom line.

In the old days people were smart enough (just barely) to know this is pure fiction. Today not so much. Just like every airplane at night is an Iranian drone.

Some of the fake videos and photos are good enough that you actually have to analyze them closely to tell if they are real. Even if the situation depicted may give it away as fake, there can be enough doubt that you can’t outright dismiss it.

The problem with these “deep fakes” is that they are training us to either 1) believe everything we see is real (this is bad) or 2) disbelieve everything we see with our own eyes (this is also bad).

That video was so obviously fake. Good grief.

What happened to all of the drones over New Jersey? Did the shark attacks get them or did the media simply grow tired of whipping up the rubes?

It’s amusing that they feel this way about a simulation. Thank God FedEx isn’t coming after me for crashing an MD-11 freighter in their colors on X-Plane 12 twice yesterday and doing a heavy landing at BOS, before I got the autoflight system sorted out in my head, today. But then I don’t pretend any of the simulations are real, and don’t post them online. This looks like an old simulation, or maybe MS 2020? The fire isn’t correctly located relative to the engine, it burns ahead. The damage model is also poor. I don’t think this is AI generated. It’s much easier to just crash a simulator.

Unfortunately, the percentage of viewers that agree with you is small. Most want to believe what is seen and then spread it around…unsubstantiated.
