I love how the little one still got scared when the mom walked by, even after preparing so hard

Mom did first come too slowly and them come too soon for poor kitten. Tried still to scare here by standing up!

Mom's kind of sorry now she taught her offspring Peek-A-Boo. ^(\"Yeah, yeah, oooh I'm so scared!")*

Meh. If I enjoy something I’ll enjoy it regardless. As long as I’m not putting blind faith into something trying to convince me of a narrative or political view - I honestly don’t care where it comes from. Ai or not, this makes me chuckle.
EDIT: I'm going to add this part below for people:
I think another part of my opinion is shaped by what I perceive as the following 2 points:
looking to claim harmless things as AI will do more to harm falsely accused artists than it will to stop AI. One of the things that has stuck with me was an image of 4 children in The Office themed Halloween costumes that was crucified for being AI. For example, people were insulting the kids appearances. Well, turns out it wasn’t AI and the people were just insulting actual people.
people look harder for AI in things they inherently dislike. Take this massive popular post from yesterday - https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/s/ikqaEFdSbe ; it’s an incredible feel-good story, and to be clear I’m glad and proud of the person. But reading it, it is blatantly written by AI. Every paragraph and sentence follows the idyllic chatGPT structure, but no one bothers to think about it there because they like the message.

I don't know if I envy this perspective or pity it.
All I know is that I don't share it.

u/THE_CLAWWWWWWWWW 7h ago
I’m not sure why anyone would ever pity it. It’s simply like enjoying a well-acted skit. Or maybe better described as the ‘art is in the eye of the beholder.’
There are times where skepticism is important, and there are times it is meaningless. The key is simply knowing the difference

u/TheJulian 6h ago
I don't think I really do pity it. I'm honestly not trying to make a value judgement. I'm trying to understand why I'll never feel like this.
The skit analogy is a good one because I really dislike those videos where something is portrayed as accidental or coincidental and it's actually pre-arranged. As opposed to a skit where no one is asking you to believe that it "really happened" which I love.
There's something about the intent of it all that I can't look past. I can't just suspend disbelief if I'm actually being asked to believe that something is real when it's not. This is not the same thing as watching a TV show or movie or skit where the acknowledgment is preset to "this didn't happen but have fun pretending it did" which I'm fine with.
Perhaps this is a shortcoming on my part. Idk

No I understand your comment and perspective. I want to thank you for taking the time to respond genuinely and critically. I appreciate the perspectives. I think another part of my opinion is shaped by what I perceive as the following 2 points:

The first point I would say is the more influential to me, and I just think we are likely to do more harm to ourselves and to creators by trying to look for AI in every corner. And to be clear, I can support regulation of AI and protest the creative use of AI. That’s not mutually exclusive with my current stance either.

Cat videos are probably the most innocent use of AI. More of these rather than making a joke of politics and art, please.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the distinction in your example is that the story may have been written with AI but it IS an actual event that happened?

u/THE_CLAWWWWWWWWW 3h ago edited 3h ago
Honestly that second one is much less important; it was just on my mind. If someone told you their cat did this, but they didnt get it on video so made this ai video of it, then would that influence your opinion of it?
I think what I’m poorly trying to describe there is that people are already selectively choosing when to look for AI. Take that recent Epstein picture of trump for example. It was plastered everywhere with people blaming mods for removing it… turns out it was AI, but no one was being critical because they agreed with the idea of it. (To be clear, this is not me defending trump either. People seem to conflate that pretty often.)
People say we need to be critical of everything, but then don’t apply those critical thinking skills when it matters most. But then they’re more than happy to criticize random harmless images.

Give it a view more years and we won't need to think this anymore. We will just have accepted that there is no way to tell.
Pictures and videos will become as evident and real as paintings have been for centuries

feels like last year these things generating blobs that resembled people if you squinted, now its making full videos

We don't.
If AI stops you from enjoying something, it's rational to blame it for being present where it's unwelcome, but when you start seeing AI where it's absent and uninvolved, you might as well just give up trying to enjoy anything digital then and there.
You could do the same thing to yourself before AI by assuming every video was staged or every reddit thread was made up, even when they weren't.

do house cats not act like big wild cats and pretend to be scared when their young try? that's disappointing.

It's this really AI? Hard to tell. The person who has 10 upvotes said it is but can also be just a troll. AI making everyone doubt themselves what is real or not, who to believe or not.

I don't think this one is AI, I don't see any obvious signs like AI meltiness or inconsistent objects/limbs appearing.
For example the carpet? That dog cartoon design is very uniform, it looks like an actual printed design as oppose to an AI thing which I would expect to have little weird variances.

How do we tell what is AI and what isn't? At what point will AI become indistinguishable from reality? AI and its growth frankly terrifies me, and any way to distinguish between it and reality would be much appreciated.

For this? Yeah great, no harm in a little fun. But next time you can’t differentiate it’s something to influence you, or a fake allegation. Then you should care if it’s AI.

And that is why the Emperor banned AI from being studied by Mechanicum. So we don't have to second guess whether a video with kitties are real or not

Hmmm. 9 second video… the larger cats shadow in the beginning up against the structure looks off but the more telling detail of AI is the last frame with the jagged hair on the larger cat. I’m also on mobile, and it’s 1am…

It's 1am wherever you live. Try to google "time zones" and have some fun discovering rest of the world!

u/dc456 7h ago edited 6h ago
What are you even trying to say? That they’re not tired and potentially making a mistake at 1am, because it’s not 1am in other places?
What next? That they’re not looking at a smaller screen on mobile because other people use monitors?
It’s like you’re trying so hard to sound smart that you’ve just ended up sounding really stupid.
