    Honestly it bugs me that AI generates historical Europeans who are overwhelmingly and astonishingly attractive, by modern standards. The ‘historical accuracy’ crowd doesn’t seem to notice this bias… for some reason.

      Is there a chance that no one needed any AI generated pictures of historical figures in the first place (the only reason I can think of for making them is to agitate people on the internet)? They aren’t real and so obviously fake it’s not even funny. How do you want them to respond to this nonsense?

      We are entering an era where nothing on the internet could be trusted. You going to say we had misinformation since forever, but nothing on this scale and this easy to make and spread.

        And, most importantly, more difficult to discern, and getting more difficult as this tech improves seemingly exponentially. People are joking and making memes with Obama trolling on CoD, but this stuff is seriously concerning.

        I don’t think it’ll be long at all until we get a serious event caused by this tech and it won’t be confirmable one way or the other. And it’ll just get worse from there. We currently don’t have the tools or knowledge on how to deal with that, which is going to be problematic to put it mildly.
