    And the viral TikTok creator is crushing it on clicks. I don’t think this is going away anytime soon.

      I took a peek at that app last week- even obviously AI videos are crushing it with clicks and comments saying “this is AI” do nothing but increase engagement.

      Of course it isn’t. A large number of the population is easily misled by even mediocre AI generated content. Which generates clicks, traffick, and thus revenue (through ads).

      Why would a company with the sole priority of generating revenue, care about things like being truthful or legitimate or real, when that doesn’t generate revenue?

    Crushed like in an industrial accident? Are you sure they weren’t slammed?

  • How are people not even a little bit suspicious when there are tons of errors giving it away as AI in just the first screenshot in the article? Text is wonky, people got demonic faces in the background, the decor is mostly just random shapes, some dude’s arm is straight up going inside his own back…

    Given peopledotcom refuses to make their website actually usable (the cookie and privacy policy notice isn’t dismissable for example), I refuse to give them any level of traffic.

      Interesting. I use Firefox with NoScript, uBlock Origin, and BypassPaywallsClean and have no issues with the site at all.

            Well, you don’t need to… But if you want to, I would love to know you’re exhaustive list.

            I also use OpenSnitch / LittleSnitch (macOS) to block ip ranges, and telemetry/tracking services.

            I think a lot of people would be surprised to know how many CLI apps are making telemetry requests.

    Tiktok links in article but I’m not linking them.

    I am truly hoping they were physically crushed only for me to get emotionally crushed when I found out that nobody was crushed in any way.
