Remember, the one percent most gullible people still add up to millions. Most boomers aren't quite this ignorant, but it sure feels like it when you include the selection bias of the ones who are constantly on Facebook.
thats not the same generation.... only about 10% of it who were tech savvy, the rest never got into pcs or the internet because it was a niche hobby for geeks
- religously watches msm, believes everything they tell her - collects pension and govt benefits - 2+ million in assets (after losing half her net worth to a nigerian scammer in '06) - thinks 40k/yr is the same today as it was 40 years ago - refuses to learn even basic tech literacy "Young people today are so entitled and lazy!"
My mom is a boomer. One of her bank accounts or cards gets hacked an average of 4 times a year. She refuses to stop using FB and has absolutely no internet literacy whatsoever. It's honestly very frustrating and sad. I've tried numerous times to help her be safer online and increase her understanding of how the internet truly works. It's never helped.
Bro I'm in the same boat as you with my dad (but my parents are more older gen-x). Thankfully my mom just doesn't screw around with mobile touchscreen phones, but she STILL has more common sense than my dad on his device. We've had multiple fights that he'd double down and get physical with sometimes about people scamming him out of his money. He's lost $20,000+ within this past year or so. The man can NOT learn how to use the Internet and discern scams to save his life. Wish he'd just throw the damn phone away and get a flip phone, but these devices are definitely as addictive as they are for a reason. No matter the cost.
Same with my mom she's had her card shut down twice for fraud, and she keeps sending me things that she wants to buy and it's all Chinese stuff keep telling her probably why you had to get a new debit card twice now because of the Chinese stuff she keeps seeing on Facebook.
What's even crazier about this is that most of the facebook pages that post these AI images are bot accounts, and most of the comments are also bot accounts. The internet is cooked.
they show clear patterns while at the same time to avoid showing these patterns theyd have to create a massive amount of burner accounts, allowing platforms to shadow ban them automatically based on several matching factors. theyd waste compute into limbo and then ONLY when eligible for the first payout period on a monetized page theyll be checked for suspicious activity and meta keeps the money for themselves. thats how you make em switch their "profession" real quick.
@@snintendog Yes, quantium entanglement proves this. How else can particles communicate instantly over vast distances without a central processor controlling them both?
it is not even about being dumb, old people just become , well, old. My grandmum is 88 and she believe everything that write in newspapers or what is on tv. She can watch some random tv series and say: u know what happened, ye, I read about it, scientists said it in xyz paper
How to get tons of activity 1. Post obvious ai pic 2. React to ai pic with ai commenter 3. 100's of real people comment to make fun of ai commenter 4. Profit
Ironically the end result will be to force us all away from the endless AI loop interaction and make us go touch grass in the real world…or at least in the world we haven’t noticed the glitches in yet? 😅
Well it's not really, But D-INT theory was a bit exaggerated on definition, Like it Describes the whole chunk of internet being BOTS Since 2016z in reality, Such concepts were started after that, But i surprised knowing that it'll be a thing to be highly aware of in the next 5 yrs
A lot of people have IQ digits that couldn't boil water and algorithms are responding to and feeding other algorithms. En Mass. What a time to be alive..
The rabbit hole goes so much deeper, its not boomers, its not x'ers, its AI commenting on AI being posted by AI. The internet is dying and we cannot stop it
Time to use AI to make a private internet of your own running offline. At least then you would be arguing against your own bots and not someone else's with who knows what agenda.
What's crazy to me is that the only job they won't want to automate with AI is prawn and live camming. You know the most degrading work the world would be better off for no one to have to do. It sure would be offensive if AI put Riley Reid out of work wouldn't it.
No it isnt. I literally know ppl personally that do this…All the 70-80 yr old women do in fact believe these are real. Im a photographer. Its very common…
I work in retail and the amount of BASIC stuff I have to help people about tech is astounding. Old people look at credit card machines like they havent existed for 20 freaking years.
I remember seeing an obvious fake photo of a 'rare green tiger' and the amount of boomers in the comments with "So beautiful!" and "One of Gods greatest creations!" was just enough to make me die inside.
04:50 Just like my Dad (76). He once was on a RUclips binge, watching Bruce Lee fight various MMA fighters, captured in UFC 4. He thought those were actual fights. I didn't have the heart telling him that Bruce Lee never kicked the shit out of Brock Lesnar.
yeah... read this and thought you were talking about my dad, not even joking... I'm sure a good amount of them are bots, but not ALL of them... like, a good percentage are actually the older people just falling hook line and sinker... 😬
@@sweettalent371 Absolutely. Many older people understandably can't keep up with modern technology. That, combined with increasingly more easy access to said technology (social media, streaming, etc.), results in exactly that. It's a bit cute, a bit funny, but also a bit sad because people can (and do) exploit them so easily.
We're not all idiots (65 here). I grew up with tech (my father was in IT in the late 50's before I was born) and my career was in IT. I have no problem with discerning any of this stuff. However, there are some really clueless people out there and they AREN'T all boomers. My favorites are the people that think they are communicating directly with celebrities when a content-provider highlights something about the celebrity's life.
having been building computers since i was 10 will be 41 later this month and was a navy IT, honestly i think be being in the IT field we already knew this type of shit was coming even if subconsciously cause this is just the more insanely advanced version of photo shopping in my opinion and given how many people fell for photo shopped shit in the 90 and early 2000s this doesn't surprise me one bit especially when the populace can be lied to so easily by media and political parties on both sides its like a race to the bottom
I think Asmon *wants* to believe everyone else is this stupid. Things being 100% in either direction is very unlikely, considering elders are the most vulnerable to this stuff and we all know bots communicate and comment everywhere. A lot of the comments have very similar typos and speech to the typos that the AI bot accounts are posting but there are a lot of older people getting duped too. Idk what the % is in either direction, but there's definitely a mix of the two. Edit: People who know they're bots also get baited into engaging with the content to let the "Scammed person" know it's fake. People love to feel smart and correct others when they know something the other doesn't, the creators of the bots are aware of this too and farm engagement off of it, which in turn makes it more popular and likely to be seen by elders/someone who *doesn't* know better.
You do realize asmon entire model of his business is act smart by criticizing others by reviewing other people content and riding the latest hype acting smart and sensible. While any person with common sense already knows. He is just an entertaining clown, dont read too much into him.
Or as was already public knowledge Facebook is mostly old people so it would be a prime place for this to happen... Y'all are trying so hard to explain this differently when the explanation given already makes perfect sense
I have a boomer neighbor who doesn’t believe all the bots/fake profiles/scammers of young attractive women are actually just that. He truly believes all these “models” really want him and he sends a shit ton of money to them believing one of these days they’re going to show up to see him. I try to help him understand he’s being scammed…he wont accept it.
Bro you need to create a fake account and get him to send his money to you. Catfish style. Better that money stay in American hands than get sent wherever else lol.
I can’t even convince my boomer parents to stop trusting “5 star reviews” on places like Amazon. Now with AI in the mix….dead internet not looking like a theory anymore
I was always sceptical of 5* reviews on any site, but one time I made a purchase on Amazon and the seller was a Chinese account with an address based in China. The following weeks (and to this day even) I received several emails from different people asking me to join their "product review" team with attached lists of hundreds if not thousands of different products.
What's interesting is at some point the image gens will hit a ceiling, training off too much AI slop coming from the poisoned internet. Even more, as the amount of bad AI pics increases (as obviously, lower quality is faster and cheaper) the quality of newer NNs will decrease. So the internet isn't dying, it's being nuked; and the nuke is currently reaching highest damage.
it entirely depends on the the generation of AI tools being used to claim that the tools being used even just a year ago are undetectable to humans is just flat out wrong the new stuff is certainly spooky tho thankfully a lot of it is paywalled but that wont last forever
@twoskies3226 you need to stop taking movies as if they're reality 20 years ago we didn't have nearly good enough GPU horse power and there is zero evidence that governments have any lead on GPU compute other then occasionally getting things a generation earlier then consumers and that's to say nothing of the fact that you can see people itterating on AI in real time because a lot of it is open source
It used to be "seeing is believing" which the boomers live by. The experienced internet nomad knows that "seeing and hearing means doubting and detective work to find the truth"
It’s honestly hilarious but fitting that those who forced the world to accept a post-modern materialistic mindset are being succeeded by people with a classical scholastic mindset.
Nah, the boomers always say "believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see" we're prolly down to an 1/8 of what you see now, but otherwise they were on point.
I found my grandad watching a fight between Bruce Lee and Mike Tyson on a video game, and he turns to me and says, “I had no idea they fought!” And i had to explain it to him.
To be fair, this has been going on for years... The amount of people that watched the old commercials of players like David beckham kicking soccer balls into trashcans, or Ichiro Suzuki drilling baseball bats from centerfield, or the punch through the wall football catches... Basically anything that is BLATENTLY CGI that everyone believes. I remember when the video of the Eagle swooping up the child in the park went viral and more people believed it was real than fake. We're talking like, early 2010's and this was prevalent. People have no sense of a few things when looking at video/photos. 1. The person taking the photo/video and how it's filmed/shot. 2. The actual physics of the object/person in question 3. the lighting around the object/subject 4. The probability of what they are watching happen and HOW it happens, all while being reccorded. This definitly isn't a new issue, and it'll continue to happen for as long as the internet exists. People just genuinly don't have a single skeptical bone in their body.
It's bots on bots. Yeah, sometimes a real person comes along and says something, that in turn gets the bots to hop on and reply. It's just automatic. Sometimes the person running the AI pictures will use another AI account to jump start that whole thing.
I am really sad to tell you but I was helping in the retirement home and there were a lot of ppl from 40s and 50s that were 100% sure its all real. They were baffled that someone would lie to them like that and for what reason.
You laugh, but we use AI, we explicitly state in every AI video title that it's [AI-generated], and there are still people in the comments section who think it's genuine. For example, they're asking what the name of the band is underneath AI-generated music video.
@@janisir4529 Exactly. The vocals are literally awful. But there's still a lot of artefacts in the instrumentals too, although it's really much better than 5-6 months ago. Maybe it's that they just don't know what "AI-generated" means, they don't read the descriptions, they listen/watch the content on their phones.
@@FreeContentLab "they don't read" is the problem. TV and the Internet have led to a lot of illiterates. You see it in any long thread, the same comments over and over because they can't be bothered to read at all. I personally think it's also why the demand for "representation" has increased - they don't have the imagination to put their own story in place.
@@FreeContentLab Calling it awful is a bit too much, just consider how many vocalists need Autotune to function. AI music needs improvement, but I don't entirely hate it.
My aunt shared 3 pictures like that on Facebook before i had to go to her house, explain and make one myself infront of her cause it was so hard to believe, and she still can't tell the diference lol
My Grandma, bless her heart, visited us for summer. Twice during the month she was here she showed me these absurd videos of "contestants" on Americas Got Talent. One of them was a guy dressed as a plant. He did a dance and turned into a plant. The other was the same concept but with a dog instead of a plant. They used the same stock footage of the judges (like 6 judges) and audience being amazed. Both times she asked me "How do they do this?" "It's fake. It's meant to look like they're doing some angular illusion but it's just computer special effects." The second time after I answered. "I asked you this already didn't I?" "Yup."
Im an artist and every time I post a new painting or a concept drawing I receive emails, DMs and comments asking if I sell through NFT and offers to pay for services to increase my followers on social media. Also the AI defenders have pages that are clearly off and possibly fake. People who get upset at Artists about AI need to actually listen to what we’re talking about.
My mom was freaking out about a video she saw on Tiktok. She showed me the video. It was one of those videos people make of those giant moons flying over earth, covering most of the sky. Very clearly CGI. I took a deep breath with eyes closed and began to contemplate how humanity is so easily fooled. I tried letting her know...while being as nice as possible. She is my mother after all. Hearing her get equally excited and shocked about how large the moon was, shook me to my core.
South Park already predicted this. The episodes about the Ad wars. And Artificial intelligence manipulating the masses. Randy eventually confronts them and learns that it was aliens all along.
I had to start educating both my parrents about the internet during 2019, because first the questions they asked started to be annoying and second it is so dangerous and some scams became so complicated, that even I had trouble with them. The worst are mobile ads, because some ads are linked to a page where you autoaccept some kind of payment, we had to threaten phonecompanies for not including a safety option where autoaccepting can be disabled. So annoying.
It's been like this forever. After you get past a certain age, you fail to notice details. You can literally go to a senior center, inform them that all the pics you are about to show them are all fake, and they will still believe they are all real. They just don't understand anymore and this is why scammers can scam them so easily.
When I was a kid I saw an interview on TV with a soap actor who played a 'bad guy' and he said grannies heckled him in the street for things he did in the soap, I think my faith in the older generation died right there and then... 😂
A coworker shared in her facebook a video of a horrible grey pale woman lamenting from afar in the street with the title "Witch in the street" , she thought it was real and her contacts were commenting how horrifying and asking where was it, if they called the police, etc... ... I recognized immediately the witch and knew it was edited. I replied with a "That's from one of my favorite videogames called Left4Dead, that's the Witch, one of the monsters, here:" and included a link to a short gameplay explaining the witch and how to kill her. She removed the video
I saw a video talking about this. The summary is that the interactions aren't bots, the accounts are. They do this to farm their accounts and then sell them or convert it into a scam page.
I deal with this shit everyday. Old people literally believe every single damn thing they see. If you tell them in person they won't believe you, but a random stranger on the internet is equivalent to gospel to them. You can even explain it to them 100 times and they will act like they understand now, but they don't.
Old people came from a time when people were at least slightly more honest and sincere. Their old brains can't comprehend that it's really easy to lie and screw people over anonymously. I feel bad for them honestly. Better times.
Fun fact the creepy baby creatures in the game Dantes Inferno (2010) had their movements animated using one of the creators actual infants. That baby became an unknown legend in the gaming community without even knowing it. He will and has hopefully continue(d) on to great things.
I don't think that most of you guys realize. Bro, 85% of the world still isn't aware of LLM's and text to image models. A LOT of older people think the new AI stuff is completely nonsense "it's just copy and pasting things that it has stolen!" .. the idea that these models are making entirely original images is unbelievable to them. And the thing is, the examples here are the worst ones. Girl with 3 hands etc. The models have come a very far way. Everything is getting more and more sophisticated. In the near future we won't be distinguish between real and fake, these old people are just the first victims
hell, there's plenty of millennials who think the same, you see it all the time in anti-AI posts from artists. This is our "running away from the train in the screen" moment.
Yeah its sort of funny to make fun of the boomers not being able to tell its AI, but if you did not look at some of the images posted here, it is actually getting harder to tell at first glance if its AI or not
Can you imagine the next generation being born into this world, not knowing that 90% of the shit they see is generated by AI. We are about to have a whole generation who won't even know that most of everything on the internet is fake. Boomers are too blind to notice, young generations think CGI in movies are real... That leaves us, the generations in the middle, to discern what is real and what is fake.
@@malindrome9055It's that the idea that the image might not be real doesn't even enter their minds at all. The hypocrisy of spending a lot of time loudly refusing to believe anything on the internet while falling for tons of these things hook line and sinker rankles, too.
What a fascinating and frightening view into the current state of AI-generated content. It's shocking how easily people are fooled. As rapidly as technology advances, it's essential to remain vigilant online, especially when interacting with seemingly harmless content.
The scary thing a lot of people aren't thinking, is how can we regulate a system like Automation which runs 100x faster than humans, and can create infinite instances of themselves online; people still haven't learned the lessons from the "worm" virus days; more automated with no rails, is not good and will destroy everything. how can a human ever plan to regulate something that's faster than them... many car accident already has demonstrated, fast is not inherently good and efficient
The possible silver-lining is that if the majority of people are already fooled by them now, maybe they won't feel the need to make it even better? Copium
It's even worse for younger people. People who used computers in the 80's, 90's and maybe the first half of the 00's were constantly troubleshooting and fixing hardware and software issues. Having some degree of computer literacy happened by osmosis from the simple fact that it was more hands-on back then. Nowadays, most computers are phones, most data is in the cloud, and apps or OSes are wiped and reinstalled since data and settings can be restored at the tap of a button. And if all else fails, they call Apple Care. Technology is actually becoming so good that it's making people dumb about technology

No one from my family knew how to do it too. Now, in America, I see people that don't even know how to copy and paste properly, or create a folder, but they have effing iPhones in their pocket and a high-end laptop
@@NotMorganFreeman. It used to be that building it yourself was still more convenient due to price for parts and labor being smaller if you know what you need and how to build it. I'm still using a decent PC me and a friend built a couple years ago, but my friend is now thinking of just buying a new Pre-Built PC because it's good enough for what he wants. I haven't looked into it, but maybe they are decent enough now that people have the luxury of not needing to know how to build their own PC anymore. He may still know how to build a PC, but for future generations convenience replaces knowledge in a lot of regards.
The problem with most older internet users is that they are half blind and don't know it. When your vision is half gone they can't see the details of these photos that would tip them off to the fact they are AI

My favorite thing about these kinds of posts, posted on a random Facebook page, are the people that comment as if they're talking directly to the person or that whatever celebrity is in the post is actually going to read their comment

I had a beef with a boomer on Facebook. On Facebook, there are SO MANY PAGES making AI images and sharing them as real. One of those pages was faking turist locations in my country and it was so obvious. But there was one boomer lady that all of those pictures and she though that those AI generated images were real. She even thought that some images that were faking HER location, thought that those images were real. I was trying to explain that she should not believe those images. She was mad that the went and "Ha Ha" all of my public posts. She just has too much time in her pension.
Our brains just aren't programmed to believe everything is a scam. Although we are going to have to shift that way to survive. Especially with older people. I mean, there's old people that have been watching television for like 16 hours a day for 40 year straight. Imagine what someone's brain is like that's been watching cable television and all those commercials for a billion hours and has never used the internet before.

@@sie11pervan Bro you tried to correlate IQ and the ability to recognise AI images. It's a dubious correlation, you'd definitely need to test it. I'm betting IQ is not even in the top 5 predictors. Some kid who grew up in front of an iPad is probably infinitely better than their grandparents at spotting fake images but that doesn't mean they're smart, it probably weakly predicts where they would fall in the IQ distribution. IQ measures how quickly your brain solves complicated problems, not your observational skills. Dude, let's be honest here.

Last of the Boomers here (1964)......I was there when home computers became a thing. A friend (fellow Boomer) built our first computer, and then I upgraded it, and rebuilt it. I built and upgraded our next 3 computers. My kids....MILLENIALS LIKE YOU....had to have me get them out of trouble when something went wrong on the computer, or they didn't know what they were doing. I thought they were taught computers in school but it turned out NOT about how computers work. As a result, I have been using computers since their inception for home use (TI-99 anyone?). True, I don't bother with tik tok or Spotify or any of those things (a Boomer friend of mine though is big into spotify) but I know AI images when I see them. While I don't use computers for the trendy stuff of the moment, I edit narrative films on a computer, and spend plenty of time here at RUclips rather than watch TV. I'm usually either looking to see what's happening (not be TOLD what's happening by people with an agenda) and to learn something, often times filmmaking related. So.....while there are some older Boomers who were not as interested in computers as I have always been, most of us are. It was the new thing......the kind of new thing you knew was going to stay around.....not like the latest "trend."

@@mirika888 - Thanks for the comment. My wife had an electric typewriter that she got in the early 1980's and it had Auto-Correct. It had a real small screen that displayed the misspelled word and you hit a button and it would white out each letter and then type the word correctly for you. Just amazing!! For the day anyway.
@@ED-gw9rg - LOL, hey, thanks. Do you mind if I ask how old you are? I'm developing a new RUclips channel with a character, Big Mike, who is here to tell the younger people about the things we had "back in the day," and to actually have the things with him, explain what they did and how they did it, and how life was with these things existing. He'll also have other stories of living "back then." I figured with as many younger people making videos reacting to the movies and songs that us old farts grew up with that there could be interest in the other things in our daily lives......like auto correcting electric typewriters. ;)
This Makes me feel more grateful that I’m at lease smart enough to know not to believe everything online and that I need to double check images people post.
Well here in motherland, some 7 years ago or more, a national TV station on their news show, displayed some impressive limousine maneuvers claiming to be some sort "drivers test" for you to be the "USA president chauffeur". And he wold go and say "How can you drive like that", and asks his co-host "Can *you* drive like that" and also "See, you need to do all this in reverse, and if you get of track you get disqualified" But it was some forza 6 gameplay. No it wasn't a comedian No it wasn't an ad. I'm almost in tears just remembering this.
My boomer dad almost fallen to a scam in facebk just because he got some DM claiming it's FB official and saying he's winning a $500 prize to claim. He didn't believe me when I said it's a scam and keep insisting that it's legit. They're so naive and maybe too pure in this inet shtpost era. Edit: What I was really trying to say is that I give you another perspective that older generation isn't that "dumb." It's just people in this era is way too evil. I'm a millennial, I grew-up between the analog and digital era. It can be overwhelming. So I don't 100% agree with Asmon. You're really dumb if you can't have an empathy with older generation.

My aunt got catfished by 1 on facebook and ended up losing a lot of money. Few months later she got diagnosed with brain cancer which explained her naive behavior.
Cant believe the same generation that endlessly told us not to believe everything online ended up falling for everything online
Too true
Remember, the one percent most gullible people still add up to millions. Most boomers aren't quite this ignorant, but it sure feels like it when you include the selection bias of the ones who are constantly on Facebook.
also because everything is basically brain proof, now people lost the ability to problem solve and trouble shoot.
thats not the same generation.... only about 10% of it who were tech savvy, the rest never got into pcs or the internet because it was a niche hobby for geeks

Thankfully my mom just doesn't screw around with mobile touchscreen phones, but she STILL has more common sense than my dad on his device.

The interesting part of all this is, the people who are commenting these pictures are in the same age of the people who are ruling USA.
What's even crazier about this is that most of the facebook pages that post these AI images are bot accounts, and most of the comments are also bot accounts. The internet is cooked.
Weird how Asmon doesn’t understand that and thinks hardly any of them aren’t bots
they show clear patterns while at the same time to avoid showing these patterns theyd have to create a massive amount of burner accounts, allowing platforms to shadow ban them automatically based on several matching factors. theyd waste compute into limbo and then ONLY when eligible for the first payout period on a monetized page theyll be checked for suspicious activity and meta keeps the money for themselves. thats how you make em switch their "profession" real quick.

The rabbit hole goes so much deeper, its not boomers, its not x'ers, its AI commenting on AI being posted by AI. The internet is dying and we cannot stop it
Time to use AI to make a private internet of your own running offline. At least then you would be arguing against your own bots and not someone else's with who knows what agenda.
What's crazy to me is that the only job they won't want to automate with AI is prawn and live camming. You know the most degrading work the world would be better off for no one to have to do. It sure would be offensive if AI put Riley Reid out of work wouldn't it.

I think Asmon *wants* to believe everyone else is this stupid. Things being 100% in either direction is very unlikely, considering elders are the most vulnerable to this stuff and we all know bots communicate and comment everywhere. A lot of the comments have very similar typos and speech to the typos that the AI bot accounts are posting but there are a lot of older people getting duped too. Idk what the % is in either direction, but there's definitely a mix of the two.
Edit: People who know they're bots also get baited into engaging with the content to let the "Scammed person" know it's fake. People love to feel smart and correct others when they know something the other doesn't, the creators of the bots are aware of this too and farm engagement off of it, which in turn makes it more popular and likely to be seen by elders/someone who *doesn't* know better.
No, it actually makes sense now. I wondered how people could vote for their own demise. This explains it all very well.

4. The probability of what they are watching happen and HOW it happens, all while being reccorded.

They used the same stock footage of the judges (like 6 judges) and audience being amazed. Both times she asked me "How do they do this?" "It's fake. It's meant to look like they're doing some angular illusion but it's just computer special effects." The second time after I answered. "I asked you this already didn't I?" "Yup."

The scary thing a lot of people aren't thinking, is how can we regulate a system like Automation which runs 100x faster than humans, and can create infinite instances of themselves online;
people still haven't learned the lessons from the "worm" virus days; more automated with no rails, is not good and will destroy everything.
how can a human ever plan to regulate something that's faster than them... many car accident already has demonstrated, fast is not inherently good and efficient

@@korbendallas8488absolute facts, man. I am actually within the range of being of Gen Z, but due to where I am from, a developing country, I had to constantly work with secondhand, shitty computers, and fix them on my own since I only gained access to the internet when I became a 14 year old, so no help. No one from my family knew how to do it too.
Now, in America, I see people that don't even know how to copy and paste properly, or create a folder, but they have effing iPhones in their pocket and a high-end laptop
@@NotMorganFreeman. It used to be that building it yourself was still more convenient due to price for parts and labor being smaller if you know what you need and how to build it. I'm still using a decent PC me and a friend built a couple years ago, but my friend is now thinking of just buying a new Pre-Built PC because it's good enough for what he wants. I haven't looked into it, but maybe they are decent enough now that people have the luxury of not needing to know how to build their own PC anymore. He may still know how to build a PC, but for future generations convenience replaces knowledge in a lot of regards.
This might be the best vid you've done in years. My facebook is flooded with these pages because I can't resist commenting on the pics.
The problem with most older internet users is that they are half blind and don't know it. When your vision is half gone they can't see the details of these photos that would tip them off to the fact they are AI
you aint lyin was born at the start of the 90s now im actually starting to notice my vision degrading its exactly as you said i had to look a couple times on a couple of pics to notice but i am also a heavy smoker of the green so that degrades the vision even More especially if you smoke a lot in one day but yeah us oldheads are going to really struggle in the fourth turning/industrial revolution it is what it is worlds going to move forward regardless

How and why are old people still in positions of power if they fall for low-quality AI
Because old people vote.
Because we dont vote em out
Dead internet theory. I havent seen many people use face book in the wilds of IT for a while. Boomers especially they said it got too annoying.
Because young people are addicted to TikTok. What good is knowing better when you don’t enact your will

My favorite thing about these kinds of posts, posted on a random Facebook page, are the people that comment as if they're talking directly to the person or that whatever celebrity is in the post is actually going to read their comment
the problem is, it really isnt just old people. many 25 year olds who pay for cable to watch football on sundays will also not catch any of these either.
25 year old boomers you mean?
I had a beef with a boomer on Facebook. On Facebook, there are SO MANY PAGES making AI images and sharing them as real. One of those pages was faking turist locations in my country and it was so obvious. But there was one boomer lady that all of those pictures and she though that those AI generated images were real. She even thought that some images that were faking HER location, thought that those images were real. I was trying to explain that she should not believe those images. She was mad that the went and "Ha Ha" all of my public posts. She just has too much time in her pension.
Matt Rose and Asmongold? Now there's a combo I didn't see coming. I'm here for it though. SKULL EMOJI
50% bots 50% real humans from an older generation that cant recognise AI images
Our brains just aren't programmed to believe everything is a scam. Although we are going to have to shift that way to survive. Especially with older people. I mean, there's old people that have been watching television for like 16 hours a day for 40 year straight. Imagine what someone's brain is like that's been watching cable television and all those commercials for a billion hours and has never used the internet before. And you give that person a cellphone....You could tell them aliens were invading and they'd run into the storm shelter.
It's more like 10:1
Closer to 70% bots and 30% people tbh
30% is people from arab and south asian countries too

If they're in their 60's, these people were only 25 and listening to Nirvana etc in 1990, stupidity knows no bounds. Also most of the people in youtube comments are also bots and everyone interacts with them.
As a person who debates on YT comment sections all the time, yes there are some bots, but many are real people too and you can have conversations with them that can confirm they are not bots.
You have no way to distinguish actual comments from glorified chatbots. No way at all.
The only thing you have is faith in your own perception.
@@kaiohshin2322 The winning move is to not care. If a bot can provide a stimulating argument you learned something from, then great. If not, then it doesn't really matter if you are arguing against a human with nothing of relevance to you to say or a bot that does the same. And to be honest, bots aren't a downgrade anyway when it comes to some human commenters. Issue with tricks to notice bots is that bot makers will adapt to them. So if you notice some interesting pattern in bots that differentiates them from humans, don't spread it publicly.

If you remember the (IQ) bell curve, you will understand that this is a very normal phenomenon.
The one where one side is extremely steep and the other really gentle?
My favorite quote of all time “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” - George Carlin.
I know you just learned about the bell curve bro but this actually makes zero sense. Are you saying stupid people are less likely to recognise an AI generated picture? Being smart means you can spot fake pictures better somehow? Does a high IQ make you more attentive now? You don't think maybe age and exposure to the internet is a more important factor? You don't think a high IQ old person would fall for the same AI pictures?
@@sie11pervan Bro you tried to correlate IQ and the ability to recognise AI images. It's a dubious correlation, you'd definitely need to test it. I'm betting IQ is not even in the top 5 predictors. Some kid who grew up in front of an iPad is probably infinitely better than their grandparents at spotting fake images but that doesn't mean they're smart, it probably weakly predicts where they would fall in the IQ distribution. IQ measures how quickly your brain solves complicated problems, not your observational skills.
Dude, let's be honest here. You're trying to sound clever for the sake of sounding clever, not because you think bringing up IQ distribution in the population will somehow help us understand the issues that boomers have with AI.
@@yinyangsaladgang8789 Again, I put the " (IQ)" there because most people's first experience with a bell curve in general, is a bell curve that shows IQ.

Last of the Boomers here (1964)......I was there when home computers became a thing. A friend (fellow Boomer) built our first computer, and then I upgraded it, and rebuilt it. I built and upgraded our next 3 computers. My kids....MILLENIALS LIKE YOU....had to have me get them out of trouble when something went wrong on the computer, or they didn't know what they were doing. I thought they were taught computers in school but it turned out NOT about how computers work.
As a result, I have been using computers since their inception for home use (TI-99 anyone?). True, I don't bother with tik tok or Spotify or any of those things (a Boomer friend of mine though is big into spotify) but I know AI images when I see them. While I don't use computers for the trendy stuff of the moment, I edit narrative films on a computer, and spend plenty of time here at RUclips rather than watch TV. I'm usually either looking to see what's happening (not be TOLD what's happening by people with an agenda) and to learn something, often times filmmaking related.
So.....while there are some older Boomers who were not as interested in computers as I have always been, most of us are. It was the new thing......the kind of new thing you knew was going to stay around.....not like the latest "trend."

Do you mind if I ask how old you are? I'm developing a new RUclips channel with a character, Big Mike, who is here to tell the younger people about the things we had "back in the day," and to actually have the things with him, explain what they did and how they did it, and how life was with these things existing. He'll also have other stories of living "back then." I figured with as many younger people making videos reacting to the movies and songs that us old farts grew up with that there could be interest in the other things in our daily lives......like auto correcting electric typewriters. ;)
I'm 33. This sounds like the type of content that might be a gap in the market. Sounds interesting and good luck with your channel.

Well here in motherland, some 7 years ago or more, a national TV station on their news show, displayed some impressive limousine maneuvers claiming to be some sort "drivers test" for you to be the "USA president chauffeur".
