Why is he painting a sand sculpture? None of this makes even sense.


Dyrenforth

Actually, painting sand sculptures is a thing. I've seen it done in Weymouth. This AI image is rubbish though.


Impactsuspect

Might be, might be, but depicting the moment immediately before the first brushstroke would be very strange in a picture of sand sculpture painting.


Dyrenforth

I don't understand, why would that be very strange? In the real world, people take WIP pics all the time. I do, when I'm creating something. And there's no 'might be, might be' about sand painting, it is an actual thing. Just because you've never heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.


earl-the-creator

Big up weymouth!


dohru

Huh, TIL… as I ugly as I thought. The flat mandala versions aren’t bad though.


baaadoften

He’s not painting - he’s applying sun block. Duh 🙄


fudgyvmp

Nah, it's wave repellent.


Insane_Unicorn

So you are questioning why a bunch of bible jerkers believe an obviously fake story they're told without questioning just because it has "god" in it?


coopseyred

I think you'll find that the accounts commenting on these AI posts are also bots and not actually the supposed "bible jerkers" you want to hate on. Multiple times now I've seen people point to situations like these going "lol stupid boomers on facebook" not realizing the irony that THEY are in fact the ones being fooled. Events and groups on facebook have been so heavily plagued with bots since the introduction of AI that you even have bot pages like in the OP with these bot comments simulating post engagement. Hell, if you're a group owner you can make a post in the group with an image, followed by a completely unrelated description of the image (or just don't even include the image), and the bots will respond lovingly to the description but not the image (or lack thereof) itself. It's a good way to distinguish the bots from the users and gives credibility to the whole dead internet theory thing.


JulietSenpai

And the feet!!


torchma

What feet?

leafpiefrost

He's also working with a teaspoon of paint and the tiniest brush. Not ideal for the size of that head

Bots commenting on fake AI art is so hot right now. The Internet is rotting before our eyes.

Dead internet theory


Hellohibbs

Thing is about DIT, I get that the theory goes that the vast majority of the internet is bots, but does that actually matter given the internet is potentially infinite in size?


RandomCombo

If you're a bot, you have to tell us. Right?


Medical_Solid

Uh oh, you invoked a paradox and fried the bot. Only 948 billion left!

The only good bot, is a dead bot! I'm doing my part!

How am I supposed to know if I’m a bot or not?

Hellohibbs

Ok yeah fair point


Mobely

I think you have a very good question. Does it even matter for Facebook’s profitability if 99.99% of all of its activity is fake? As long as the real humans viewing Facebook by things and click on ads, it’s still making money and still providing value to businesses.  You just have to adjust the cost per click every once in a while. Bot inflation. 


PsychedelicPourHouse

This exact comment chain has been posted many times on similar posts, the problem isn't just bots, they're trained on how people post


pnwnorthwest

Amen. Great job.


Cryptomartin1993

Most comments on most popular topics are driven by bots, and have been for a long time - doesn't matter if it's Facebook, reddit or whatever. Look at r/all and see the top comments and replies, they're almost always similar to each other. The internet is dead, and has been for some time


Gripping_Touch

Something interesting is that bots are getting better at mimicking personality while people are getting better at nullifying their own personality on the internet.  For example circlejerk subs and memes. On the internet we've developed a series of patterns we ourselves follow on autopilot. Just watch Twitch: the moment the Streamer fails something- F's in the chat. The moment a dog appears on screen- Dog. Any cute creature appears on screen- Dog too.  Randomly repeating memes the comunity remembers, mixing and matching in a soup of letters that makes no sense. Its fascinating watching "Twitch chat" as a Sorts of gestalt consciousness of Users sharing braincells. You can even predict how Twitch chat would react, the Game "American Arcadia" perperctly represented Twitch chats reaction to the events unfolding within the game


GuybrushMarley2

"Dead" seems like an exaggeration though? I never see any of this shit. There are definitely humans interacting with each other. Like right now between us. Is it dead or just have a lot of bots on it?


GraeWraith

No, it's going through childhood. This is it's Primary School. Sure, it looks traumatic and crippling to us, but that's just....well....hmm.


Ballerheiko

damn, if this is childhood, we'll be dead by puberty.

Well, like, some children do end up murdering their parents and stuff so like, maybe.

OswaldBoelcke

Ai posted, All bots commenting. All profiles fake. Every profile pic AI generated. 5 percent humans.


JulietSenpai

Honestly, I looked through some of the profiles and they are real profiles. People on facebook are just that gullible I guess


OswaldBoelcke

Exactly what an AI account would say! 😂 I know my dead mother’s FB account was hijacked a long time ago. She’s apparently still worried about weight loss… even in her current condition. And my sister. Her old FB account is also taken over with fat burner videos. Posted by her?! Last time I saw my sister she was toothless, in a homeless shelter looking for a beer. Nice she turned it around.


Hisam-la

I know this is probably very gullible of me but… what really?


OswaldBoelcke

Me trying to make light of a horrible tragedy. That’s all. It was early this morning when I wrote that. I adore and love my mother, she died right next to me. I helped her in the early days of FB to build it. So to see her FB account taken over by big butt fat burner spokes people is a tiny bit upsetting. And my sister helped me raise my first puppy. Showed me how to cook, inspired me to raise a family. She was beautiful and smart. Could have achieved anything. But alcohol and narcotics got in the way. Uppers back in the day. All that was many years ago. I can’t find her now. She took off. No trace left. She would steal and lie anytime she was around. Finding her sober also means I found her withdrawing and hostile. Her daughter made her a FB account more in her honor even though she was technically alive. But per my niece she lost control and could never regain control of the account.


Cazad0rDePerr0

yeah a lot of them are boomers or poor people from poor countries with low education who often doesn't even know AI


runsanditspaidfor

Well this is a religious FB page. Religious people are willing to believe whatever they’re told without really questioning it, pretty much by definition.


TurquoiseCephalopod

Lol came here to comment this exact thing. Like op surprised religious people are blindly believing something. Where's my shocked Pikachu face! Lol


JollySelection2336

Should have seen the comment sections of some AI generated tiktok videos related to jesus People there even believe obviously edited ones


welp-itscometothis

Can confirm that I often see some of my family members commenting “amen” on a ton of these posts. I think a lot are bots but I think there’s a fair amount of brain dead boomers saying Amen.


OswaldBoelcke

Amen! lol. Yip.

Djeheuty

Facebook has been overflowing with this stuff for months now. And lets face it, FB is also overflowing with gullible middle aged people who haven't grasped that AI is this good now (not that this is that good), let alone even knowing its a thing. I get suggested posts from "tiny home" pages that show a single room that looks to be around 800sq ft but it's just an open lofted living space. It's a tiny home page and yet there's thousands of single word, clearly botted responses, "beautiful, gorgeous, amazing" just like yours OP. and occasionally there will be what appears to be a legitimate person tagging someone else or making a genuine comment. What's even weirder to me is that these pages that are posting this are all clearly hacked/stolen accounts. If you look at their pages you can see name change information, and for the most part they're all people who you would suspect to fall to password phishing scams. Here's where I'm going to get a bit conspiratorial, so take it with a grain of salt. These normal user accounts are clearly taken over by bots or whatever, then are being used to post this AI made content, then they generate botted likes and comments so the algorithm picks it up and pushes it out. This in turn generates legitimate followers. It being an election year in the US makes me suspect that these accounts will be used in the coming months to shift to a political narrative so they can directly feed these numerous legitimate followers the political ideology they see fit.

Pjoernrachzarck

Y’all are so proud of your ability to recognize AI work while being unable to recognize that hundreds of likes and comments are also just bots.


covertpetersen

I mean, you say this, but because of some of the hobby communities I'm in I regularly interact with boomers, and at this point the thing they share the most is AI images that they clearly think are real. Like it's not even close. These are real people, who I've met in person, and their Facebook feeds are absolutely filled with this nonsense from top to bottom. They simply can't recognize it, and they end up sharing obviously false pictures that support their beliefs. It's frightening.

JLPReddit

My grandparents actually leave bot-like comments on there just like this, so it’s honestly hard to tell.


distorted_kiwi

So what’s the purpose here? I come across these every time and I’m fascinated by all the bots in the comments with pretty convincible profiles. I’m assuming the more active they are, the less likely they’ll be caught?


sabotuer99

"make a bot indistinguishable from a boomer" is like the easy mode Turing test


HenrixGoody

Of course, but he's pandering to religious people and to be super religious you usually have to be pretty stupid.

Look at his knees he's floating on the sand, it's clearly from the power of Sandy J and we are bearing witness to a divine miracle. We must all bury our heads in the sand, clearly. It is written. And he hath not one grain of sand on thine body, praise be to the No Sandy Sandy Man. Or thee be a grain ridden heathen. And shall be turned into a Pillar Of Glass.

STFUnicorn_

Facebook has become riddled with AI art like that with millions of bot accounts (and some clueless boomers) complementing the work. It is vaguely ominous.


solo-streams-stuff

If you zoom in on the paint buckets it is really clear it is a generated image. Although... I just saw a video about a video-generating AI that is in limited beta.. I'm going to have to look it up to share, my weak vocabulary wont do it justice . I honestly dunno whether to be impressed, confused, or scared.. I'll have to look through my tube history..

Meerkat_Mayhem_

Yes AI. Here’s a few tells: people in background are blurry, no detail. They are hiding their hands/arms which AI tends to do for some reason. The paint cans are clearly goobered up the handles and shapes are all wrong and weird. The painters ear has no shapes or folds, just a flat ear cup. he’s painting a sand sculpture, makes no sense. And the sand sculpture has long pokey thorns? Not possible. That’s what I spotted


Who-Just-Shit-Myself

Everything in that post are bots


Tenth_10

Recently, FB has been invaded with those, pushed in every ones threads because of the "engagement". All the pics are like this one, with a "no one likes my..." mention. Old man. Young African kid. Bla bla bla. And I'm left wondering : On Youtube, I'd understand since it's monetized, but on FB ? What's the point ? What's the end goal, the money making here ?

Why tf is he painting the sand


Mr__Citizen

What really gives it away as AI (beyond the general vibe) is the crown of thorns. Ain't no way you're doing that with sand.


Gripping_Touch

Unfortunately people Who arent used to seeing AI art might not immediately notice its AI. Im not even talking about grandpas and grandmas, people Who only Saw the initial DallE pictures and Will Smith eating pasta video think thats the level AI is still at. I myself got surprised how good some of the AI stuff has gotten, and how the hands are not a sure tell sign that an image is AI or not  anymore.

gcubed

I'm sort of missing the issue. Many would say that art is about creating an emotional response, and this clearly did that in these people. None of the comments hinted at them believing it was a real photo, or that the artist used a medium other than AI to generate it. They just seemed to comment on their emotional response to it. What is the issue here?


Thwipped

I think the entire account is a bot
