    Fake AI images that will be used to decorate AI generated news articles that will be commented on by AI profiles.

    Does anybody else feel like everything lost its purpose years ago? I mean, it’s like the internet exists from the inertia of already existing, the human factor is long gone.

      It’s a mess. I can’t trust anything online as coming from a real human anymore. It’s all filters, generated, or paid for. The God of profit corrupts everything it touches.

    Adobe Stock Contributor. Someone, as a contributor, listed these photos to earn a commission for sales for photo content they say is theirs and own the copyright for.

    It’s a decent side hustle but I’d never upload AI crap.

      Sites like Pexels, Pixabay and Unsplash are also now filled with several AI generated images for most popular keywords. You barely have any effort, but can earn a few bucks whenever someone happens to use your image.

        I’m not surprised some stock photo companies are selling AI work. I imagine this is an industry not easy to make money in if you are one of the few remaining firms not owned by Getty.

      The obituary you posted doesn’t mention Israel or Gaza. Why did you link it?

          I thought so too, but it’s getting harder to tell the difference between AI and weird people.

            The OP account definitely seems to be.

            All the posts they’ve made have a header, sub header, “::”, and description, with all the copy around the same length each time. It’d be a weird amount of effort to not be using GPT for this
