[@FIZZGIG-RARF]

I live in Oklahoma and SOOO many places have mascots that are called either "Boomers" or "Sooners." These names come from the landrace they had. ( not opening THAT can of worms🤦🏼‍♀️😮‍💨) a "sooner" is someone who snuck in before it started and a "boomer" is someone who stole land from people who had claimed a space. They're both cheaters!? Why on EARTH would you want that as a mascot!? Why would you be PROUD to be called that!? I know this isn't about generations, but that's where the term came from.

That's the kind of picture my older sister posts all the time. Too-cute, impossible nature pictures. There was one she posted of a supposed baby dolphin that was cartoonishly cute, and it was pink and white. It had rosy cheeks like a porcelain doll, it was so dumb honestly. She said on the post "I had no idea baby dolphins look like this! SO cute!" And I told her "Because they don't look like that." And I posted a picture of a real baby dolphin next to its mother. She was all broken hearted, but like, the real dolphin is so much cooler. I don't know what to do, she posts AI pictures like that every day. For now, younger people seem to be able to spot AI just fine, but what happens when AI gets so good that no one can tell the difference?

Instagram already has that option to toggle before uploading so I'm confused.... as to why Facebook -- also owned by Meta, same company as Insta -- doesn't? Or maybe it does and these guys are bypassing it by simply not toggling it, which is of course a problem in and of itself. Humans are freely able to tag their real life photos as AI when they're not and people who use generative AI can freely ignore the "This is AI" toggle. Such a problem.

That's probably because they have an "uncanny valley" effect. Humans don't like things that look human but aren't. That's why most CGI cartoons have super exaggerated features. When they tested making it look life-like it made people too uncomfortable because the viewers could always tell something was off. Now animators purposefully avoid that area of lifelike animation, the uncanny valley, because it will inevitably fail.

I can feel you. My parents are approaching the boomer age but fortunately they're not much behind in technological knowledge. They're quite versed in the problems of AI and stay up to date on these topics. My brother and I also make sure that they're updated on such stuff. But still, they've almost gotten scammed into buying AI product listings. For instance, my mom once showed me a really stunning saree for medium price listed on Facebook (if you don't know, saree is one of the traditional attires worn by Indians. We are from India). The saree was too beautiful to be real and guess what - it wasn't! It was an AI generated saree design. I told her at once and she was surprised that I could spot it. She can identify most AI generated images but this was one of those hyper-realistic ones. And with my mom's eyesight not being the best, she is going to have a harder time trying to spot them. Both my brother and I gave her and my father a detailed lecture on things to look for to identify AI generated images, like the disproportionate human anatomy, relative dimensions and such. Even though we temporarily looked like heroes in front of our parents, even we youngsters are prone to fall for these AI scams. Edited to correct spelling and grammar mistakes

[@Boooo_39]

My vision is terrible without my glasses, so once I missed that the person's (or should I say "person") hands were not clasped together, but one huge, fused blob 😂 The **only** reason I found out it was AI was because it was a hyper-patriotic, nationalistic, US military image. Those are so often AI I automatically zoomed in...and saw the fused blob passing for hands I laughed so hard

[@amandajones8101]

@@Boooo_39 that’s hilarious!

Scamming the older generation is how we're gonna secure the bag, I swear. 😂

Robert, your complexion and hair is at AI level smoothness! Perfection!

[@promisejrhodes]

These reactions reinforce my belief that most people are NPC’s. How can an actual human with a brain and eyeballs believe these are real???? 😫😫😫

Strangely, I saw a crafting video recently where someone was warning folk to be aware of fake AI crochet patterns. Some of the examples she showed were glaringly obvious AI, but others were surprisingly convincing, especially to folk who are unfamiliar with crochet techniques. And then there is the wave of AI book cover art that’s been causing a stir in book communities, with people both believing the AI art is real or accusing genuine artists of using AI. I think it’s most obvious when the art includes people, but go beyond that, and it isn’t just older people being fooled. And the realism is only getting better. In a sense, this is nothing new - people have been faking things with photography for nearly as long as there has been photography, but the scale and accessibility and lack of effort has become so much greater, so we’re flooded with this new kind of fake. It’ll be interesting how our perspectives on the technology will develop as this continues. What will reality even mean when it comes to the online world.

[@edenelsworth591]

It astounds me how many of my contemporaries fall for AI images, and even get defensive when it's pointed out to them.

[@Throatzillaaa]

Omg Robert, please DO keep us updated on how things are going with that Swedish Prince! 🤴🏼🏰❤ 😂

My Tuesday just got better. Love you Robert!!!❤❤❤

Where are you that it’s Tuesday?

[@debrandw246]

AI photos are very scary. People are being scammed out of money. Thank you for doing this video. Hope it makes people to be more aware. I have seen many asking for money to get a poor sad dog out of a kennel situation or off the street.

[@deedeedussard]

Lol I just got a advert for Adobe ai I had to laugh 😂😂. Omg I getting tired of ai everywhere I have just learned to crochet and the amount of awful crochet pictures out there like giant animals that are not possible and the arigurami (crochet animals) that are everywhere that people are sharing. I'm in a crochet group and we mock the pictures mercilessly. But the crochet patterns are out of control it's so annoying trying to find real decent patterns

[@girrl88]

Welcome to the world of crochet! It's so relaxing and once you get the basic stitches you can make just about anything.

[@dinasilva9263]

Robert i Love your Channels, you make a great work on both Channels and your sense of humor is just amazing. Thank you❤

[@TaylerBootz]

The Target one reminds me of the Procter and Gamble devil crap that circulated around 1999 or 2000.

[@linda76seabright]

The 120th birthday one made me laugh. If she’s not grown her business in 115 years of baking I don’t hold out much hope for her. So fake

[@tammyarnold9425]

I'm a "Boomer" and can see this is AI. Seriously, not all of us are so quickly fooled. I find most of these obviously fake. As for romance scammers, they too are obvious. Its sad so many scammers target older people because so many of them (scammers) are stupid enough to believe we're so desperate to be in a relaionship with someone they met online. And, no, Robert, I'm not angry about this video. Just somewhat baffled how easily duped my generation seems to be in some cases.

[@piratejennish42]

I really don't like AI anything. 🤦🏻‍♀️ The photos usually are very uncanny valley, I completely agree.

I always said it. We are sourrounded by idiots. If beeing dumb was painfull everybody around me would scream out loud.

[@zanadriafurcadia]

Ai images can be fun as a cosplayer... I constantly see AI gowns that I NEED to make real on pinterest and now I am about to make the coolest Charizard cosplay the world has ever seen

[@galatea5455]

Could instantly tell it was a piece of ham on the dog's face lol. For the '120' year old grandma: you can tell it's AI by how freakishly long the distance is between her wrist and her knuckles are, as well as her fingers (her hands look almost alien-ish). Her necklace (?) disappears after the '2' on the left, and above the '0' on the right. The end table leg in the back right corner is distorted. The kids in the army uniforms: Their hands!!!🤣Not enough fingers on one, too many on another.🤣 Seriously though, the amount of times I've had to tell my mother that the images and videos she shares on Facebook are AI images/video is unreal. There are a lot of AI youtube channels on here too; some are obvious with their robotic voice, but some have managed to make the voice sound very natural so you'll think it's a real person talking.

[@emilylewis4917]

"Imagine the scams and money they could make" Fine Robert, you've convinced me, let's go scam some old folks 😝

[@Kinikia95]

Older Gen X here. YT is my only social media. I believed a lot of those, except for the really weird faces. Guess it doesn't occur to me that somebody would make something up for likes. If they asked me for money or something I would pay closer attention. But I feel guilty if I don't give an old lady likes for her birthday. And the dogs make me sad.

[@EzraSprouts]

Honestly, this makes you more rational and wholesome than most of the internet. It so odd that the internet somehow crochets these oddities into existence to farm likes and clicks - more baffling than a world of four-armed Eva Longorias tbh! So if people assume the latter, I don't think they are silly for it

[@queefgod420]

for the old lady one - youre never entitled to give someone attention, especially online. im gen z but i used to be that person that gave everyone attention. the more you give, the more they take! especially on accounts like these where they just want your attention so they can eventually sell something, the more old ladies with birthdays you like the more theres suddenly tons of 400 year old women saying its their birthday. dont feel bad for not liking one of these posts, whether or not theyre real, likes are for things you truly want to see like your favorite football team, your favorite band, or your kids/grandkids/siblings. even if it was a real old lady that wanted some likes for her birthday, you dont know her and you dont have to give her anything (most old ladies truly dont care about likes or anything, theyre as happy with 2 likes as they are with 2000, and theyre even happier if its their family)

[@cecaniacc9165]

This remind me of a certain Job ad in facebook, there was a job hiring for "Senior editor" position and a lot of old people flooded the comment section with amen and thank for giving an opportunity for elderly, some even posted picture of themselves with a filter wanting the job.😂

[@rhankabs]

The birthday cake says ‘120ny’ birthday🤣🤣 that’s the biggest giveaway with anything AI with text on it lmaooo

[@dominovuitton]

Unrelated, but I finally got brave enough to try the new ELF Brow Laminating Gel per your recommendation after years of using the Anastasia Brow Freeze and you did not disappoint Robert!

[@thebirdperch_MI]

I have a FB page where I post photos and videos of birds every day. I used to follow many other bird pages on FB but I had to unfollow them because all of them were either posting or allowing others to post AI "photos" of birds. Too many people think they are actual photos, which can be very confusing if one wants to know more about that bird. I'm sure scammers know that birds are a big topic with the "boomers" so they are an easy target for getting tons of likes, etc. My theory is that these pages are likely in the FB bonus program so they just keep pushing out these fake photos because they get a lot of clicks and comments, therefore, making the page owner lots of money. It's really terrible and sad!!

[@nehozack]

HANDS - always look at the hands first. I hate this so freaking much.

[@sharimeline3077]

I'm a Boomer but I was born in the last year of the Boomer generation. So I'm a "young" Boomer. But my sister is 7 years older. She's fooled by AI all the time! When she reposts AI pictures thinking they're real, I have to tell her. It's so weird that I can immediately tell if something is AI, and she has no clue.

[@queefgod420]

theres a whole thing with a huge portion of baby boomers being exposed to tons of heavy metals like lead and studies on how it affects the brain, looks like you managed to scrape by and not get (or at least barely get) exposed to it!! but your sister is not so lucky, sadly :( does she act neurotic or out of character/random sometimes? possibly even randomly angry?

[@DoraSometimes]

And the coach has 6 fingers?! It's nice to see how we're evolving...😂 This all is hilarious, but also a bit worrying.

[@jongkittae]

ok I'm a few days late but I wanted to point out something I thought was interesting that might be contributing to this, and that you might not be that aware of if you live outside the US. Robert said these images seem to target religious groups and also older folks and I think he's correct. The reason for it I believe is because very religious (the type of people to comment blessings and prayers on AI facebook images) are often very sheltered from the mainstream and live in their little bubbles where AI is barely even something people talk about let alone understand or can easily recognize. I think it would be especially common for someone like my elderly relatives who grew up and live in the rural midwest to fall for things like this. and personally, as long as nobody is getting hurt (like these accounts seem to not be asking for money or anything) I don't see it as a huge problem. however, I do think it's something we should try to work on getting our older friends/relatives/etc aware of because it could easily be used for much more scary purposes than AI grocery store jesus

[@thisisavivistanaccount7866]

i watch videos where people routinely get sucked into romance scams online…one of the gentlemen that was in a video was talking to a woman who used AI images. Idk how he didn’t notice, Her hands were wonky. Always look at the hands, as of now AI can’t quite get hands right. I generally hate AI images, they make me so queasy, bc my brains finds them so uncanny sometimes edit: You actually mentioned Scamfish!!!

[@queefgod420]

theres bootlickers that say that ai can perfect hands now, but so far ive found 0 evidence of ai making perfect hands every time 🤣 its only ever a fleeting coincidence where ai manages to scramble together a perfect-looking hand then right after makes a monstrous 7 fingered claw
