Actually, I sense a mounting "AI fatigue". Angry comments under AI contents. Social media accounts that proclaim to be "AI Free". I was thinking today that the killer app for AI could be a filter that automatically exclude all AI content.

There's a huge vegan market segment but meat industry still plods along

  at least it's possible to be a vegan. imagine trying to be a smartphone vegan. I hope we're not headed there with this abominable technology. I hate using it and don't want to be forced

  Roughly 2% of the US is vegan. About 5 million people. This would be why the meat industry “plods along” century after century. For every vegan there are 49 people who eat meat, and probably 35 people who feed their pets meat. There is actually a huge market for animal meat and it is the vegan industry that plods along. In fact, what even _is_ the vegan industry? Or do you mean it’s basically marketing hype for companies that combine plants in various ways to sell as food?

It is very obviously there. People are not simply accepting the AI-bro justification that one day they won't notice the difference so it's all fine. Ordinary people are understandably either exhausted by or angry at AI content, because it is relentless and misleading, and because they know instinctively that the people who want this to succeed also want to destroy employment and concentrate profits in the hands of a few Silicon Valley sociopaths.

Google are experimenting with different filters that intentionally blur the lines between real and fake video in their shorts. A creator I follow who makes human-in-shot videos suddenly looked fake, like some animation filter was applied. I commented on how bad it looked, and someone said YT are doing it to people's videos as some sort of "trial". The effects were to make the human look more AI generated. The only use for this I can surmise is to make AI content even harder to detect.

I agree. Back in the 90's there was plenty of skepticism, along with some mockery, surrounding the internet. But you never saw headlines like "Lawyer caught using the internet" or "Artist busted using the World Wide Web". With AI, it's different.
