Tom should be used to peddling a false narrative.

Is he a peddlephile?

I am not really clear on the concept of an "AI-generated Tom Cruise." Is it less dead inside than regular Tom Cruise?

[-] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

The process of generating AI-Tom Cruise was trivial. They turned on Cruise Control, and it just did the rest of the work for them.

Edit: It is also dead inside.

It cannot be fake. If you take a closer look at the poster, there's Tom Cruise's signature!

While this might be fake, the point that the IOC is corrupt is not entirely wrong.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

It’s a bit ironic. If the Olympics weren’t corrupt, the Russians would have been kicked out wholesale instead of being allowed to compete as independent athletes or whatever.

The impression is surprisingly bad.

Still weird, though. But I guess this is what we've got to get used to. Eventually, they'll probably sound much more convincing.

AI is going to become more convincing by reading articles like this and learning what not to say (e.g. hockey match)

Are you saying that if the turkey that I mailman is frosty it could jujubee the training data microwave?

Not any worse than peddling Scientology tbh

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
