tbh i find it really creepy how one can use an other persons face ,like it can ruin someones life that easy

Honestly the deepfakes and just general fear of aging feels so dystopian, maybe The hunger games aren’t so far from the present 💀

My bf is a graphic design artist and had a full mental break when ai art exploded. A lot of his classmates use ai art instead of actual art, and it makes him believe that the future of graphic design is doomed. Schools aren’t doing anything to draw boundaries around it, and the professors don’t seem to care. Art is doomed, our culture is doomed thx ai

The scary thing about AI is that we were promised how robots will take jobs that noone wanna do, meanwhile AI take all of the creative jobs and only hard unfulfilling labour persists for us...

Wow everyone is finally realizing what writers and artists have been SCREAMING for the past year

It is disheartening and so so scary. Not to long ago, my boyfriend (Now ex) created an AI "girlfriend" as a joke, and it sounds stupid but it really really hurt my feelings. He talked to it and showed it to me multiple times, and - as ironic as it sounds - he complimented it much more than he has ever complimented me. Imagine caring for a robot, when a PERSON who ACTUALLY cares about you is right in front of you?! Never thought that I would be jealous of someone who isn't real....yet here we are.

what's terrifying is that video and audio recordings are used in court ALL THE TIME as EVIDENCE. A whole new way to frame somebody and how in the world could you prove that it's fake

I do feel like people should be able to sue for this. Making deep fake porn of people should count as defamation and infringement of someone's identity.

To be honest one of my biggest fears around ai is, that people can and probably are making adult content using children

as an aspiring artist I feel like my dreams are being crushed as I feel like I won't be needed since AI could easily replace my art and animations

The AI writing essay thing is so scary to me. As someone who all most went into teaching, whenever kids would ask me as a student teacher, "Why are we learning stuff we won't use as adults?" or "Why do we have to do homework." My response was always: "Because it teaches you that in life, you're going to have to do things you don't want to." Taking away that lesson, by allowing AI to do it. Well...hell. Idk fam. So much for learning? 😅

As an artist, this is one of the worst things that has happened to us. These AIs take our work without consent, mash it together and create "AI art" that the public praises. Even though we're the ones who made something like that possible in the first place. We're losing our jobs because of capitalist cryptobros who would rather steal from us than support us. AI is inherently anti-artist and I seriously hope it's straight up banned.

it's not just that the AI sounds like Ben Shapiro, it's that Ben Shapiro sounds like an AI💀

I try to remain impartial about ai but I really don’t trust most of the people using it to have good intentions. Especially when I know that deepfake pornography exists and a lot of people don’t clarify that their post is ai, so people who have a harder time picking up on that stuff are being misinformed. There needs to be strict rules and regulations around it and soon.

as a computer science student, even AI scares me 💀

AI is very dangerous. I have a friend that kept receiving gross messages from men she didn’t even know(to her WhatsApp), one day she asked one of them where they got her number and why where they texting her like that. Turns out someone (we still don’t know who) had made a p*rn video with HER FACE using AI and send it in a telegram channel and gave away her number. It was awful!! And she barely uses social media. No one Is safe :( the person who did it must have obviously know her because the had her phone number 😢

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that it would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them." - Dune

I remember watching a video of a asmrtist and she spoke about deepfakes. She was a victim of 🌽 deepfakes and people believed it was her because of how real it looked. It’s crazy because imagine if that happens with young people or with randoms people just to ruin their lives?

AI freaks me out when it comes to politics. Like they could make all sorts of videos targeting a demographic to believe that their neighbors are their enemies and war could break out in the streets. That's scary as F

🦆🦆🦆 I’m so happy I discovered your channel. As an artist, AI art has been really frustrating for me but I never knew how much damage it could do for other communities. The voice AI in particular is very terrifying to me since it mimics voices so realistically. If it falls into the wrong hands it can be extremely dangerous.

I think I’m more just disappointed in how readily people are to dismiss the process behind art and put artists down. I think AI can be used well, if used by the right person- say for mind-mapping VERY initial concepts and ideas. But with the lack of regulation, it’s clear how people are willing to go so low as to monetise and claim AI works as their own. This goes outside of visual art too- what about voice actors? Even music idols could and have been “created” as holograms. It’s getting very uncanny valley with how AI is being implemented.

the amount of kids i know who just use AI to do half of their school work is terrifiying, i hope that ai will soon just become a tool similar to how things in the past have

I’ve been seeing AI generated “female owned businesses” created by white men, as well as AI generated art. Not only does this kill the spotlight and revenue for REAL artists, creators and business owners, but it also harms the way we view reality

This is actually really disturbing. People can lose jobs just because someone used a deep fake. And who knows how many AI influencers are out there that just haven't admitted to being AI? I really hope that these types of things will be regulated more in the future.🦆

you know the thing about inappropriate deepfake and ai art generators are much more alarming when you think of what certain deranged individuals can do with them. considering the horrifying amount of p3dofiIe content, whether real, drawn, or just innocent pictures of random children, this issue becomes far far more disturbing. i wish governments would do something about this

i think we fail to see the dystopian society that is developing bc of our view of dystopia as an unknown isolated fantasy land far from our own when really it feels like thats sort of the direction were heading in..

This is so sad… As a kpop fan and art student, I totally stopped to stan certain kpop company who created a whole “AI girl group”!! It is UNACCEPTABLE that a company compromised with art supports something that might substitute the essence of art: human beings and their soul!

I honestly can’t wait for laws and restrictions for AI, right now it’s a dumpster fire harming everything it touches

AI takes stuff online writers works As a artist its very scary to see writers find fragments of there work in AI generators I personally believe we need to put laws and restorations in place AI should be a tool not to replace people.

AI is getting more terrifying and more human.. ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF THINGS, UR MAKEUP LOOKS SO GOOD BOO

The AI nsfw part is something that's been happening a lot on Instagram too. People i know irl and mutuals of mine have been messaging and posting on their accounts screenshots of AI's using their face to promote very inappropriate pictures of them. I've even seen some go as far as using the face of minors for that and it's honestly so disgusting🦆

It baffles me that humans have created so much media about the dangers of AI and yet we're still fucking around with it.

🦆 To all the young artists saying they’re scared that they will be replaced by AI: don’t be. AI can’t replace the human experience, and that’s what your art reflects. It’s your own personal human experience. Keep doing you and don’t let the happenings of modern technology get you down. Think of it this way: we already have automated production of wood based furniture, clothes and other skilled based trades, yet we still have woodworkers. We still have clothes designers and many other tradesmen who make a living off of their trade. People care for the labor that others put into their work because it adds a uniqueness that can’t be replicated. AI currently is only a tool. It can’t work on its own and while it makes some pretty pictures it’s lacking the unique amalgamation of your experiences that makes your art yours. People will want to buy your art because they want to support you as an individual. Your future isn’t as insecure as it seems!

Girl the upload schedule!!! You're doing so well 🥺 We are so proud of you!! Love the makeup and love the topic choice :)

AI is such a strange reflection of humanity. So silly and fun, interesting and profound....yet so sinister and evil all at once.

I have a friend who had something like the streamer happen to him. He's not even a huge creator or super popular he was just the demographic the predators were looking for. He deleted his Instagram because the fear of this deep fake getting out. He paid a bunch of money to have it not leaked basically, but they still were threatening him. I feel like that is going to be the new "scam" that will happen. It's scary af. But AI can be really cool in the right hands like I've been waiting a bunch of how AI can be used to help artists in their process. Like myself as a motion designer, if I need to create a logo but I want to make 50 iterations of the logo, I could use AI to save time and resources. But I wouldn't have it create a finished product. It would be used to advance my workflow. I hope that makes sense. I love your videos so much. Keep being you and making this kind of content!

As a really young artist who works really hard this truly scares me.

The deepfake with the sexual content is so scary to me. The algoritme is specifically made to target women. It happend here in the Netherlands to a female news anker, she made a ducumantary of it and they finnaly catched the guy. I't should be illegal in my oppinion. (Sorry fot the bad spellng, i'm a dutchie.) Love the channel!

I just can't stand AI in general. I have yet to really see anything good come out of it that outweighs the bad. Yeah the stuff you can make with it is funny but its ruining lives (like the twitch streem controversy) and destroying careers. As someone currently going to school for illustration and trying to start a career in that field, the fact that people can steal my work and alter it with AI, replicate it, or simply ignore my services because they can use ai instead is scary. Its so stressful that people dont seem to understand how big of an issue this is. I remember being told by a bunch of people online that i was stupid to try and be an artist when AI exists in the first place, that i was stupid in going to college for art. How was I supposed to know that this was going to happen? I know people already disrespect artists but its gotten so much worse with this. I cant even bring myself to be fine with chatgpt. This is gonna make it harder for authors trying to make a career in the field. BTW- college students that use canvas, dont use chat for it. The plagarism detector it uses can tell if you used it.

TikTok: OMG can you believe they used a computer to make celebrities sing things that they didn’t actually sing?!? 😱 The entire Vocaloid and Utau community who’ve been doing this since 2009: 👁️👄👁️

I seen a post today that says "we are all out here working like peasants while AI is creating art and poetry" :(

Also, note! Chat GPT used Kenyan workers to filter out violent and disturbing content from the AI and then proceeded to pay them $1.40 an hour 🤗💀

The thing y’all are missing is they can do this to any of us. If you have any content at all with your face, they can do this. We really need to start being vocal to lawmakers about this. But it will probably take either them or their kid having it happen to get something done.

thank you sista for the generous reminder to hydrate .. it was so refreshing

i’ve always been afraid of ai and how it can harm people but it’s getting worse, and being a part of the generation that is growing up seeing these robot influences is scary. 🦆

I have an 11 year old daughter and I worry for her future with how fast technology is evolving

Im glad that other people find this worrying. I feel like a lot of technological advances right now are scary, including ai. I wish there was a way to regulate these new inventions before they go too far.

“It be like that sometimes” is literally a phrase to live by 💯

🦆🦆 bruh Im actually creeped out by the AI instagram accounts.. they do look sort of realistic but they're still uncanny to me 😭

AI is literally scary like I want to study animation in Uni but now I feel like I have barely a furture as an artist

You are a saint for speaking up about these issues. I hope many people see this, as an artist AI really terrifies me. Thanks again Salem and lots of love to you, always looking forward to your insightful videos!

Agreed. Ai will kill critical thinking

About the AI paragraph writing bit, my school actually busted people who did that. They've got ways to identify who used the AI and who didn't now. The thing is though, most of the English teachers are making us write on paper, in class, because of it. Except for my teacher though. I got lucky. :,) These AI bots are getting insane. (And yes! Whoever is still in school like me and reading this, PLEASE be honest about your work. The work you do honestly is the work you'll be proud of and actually learn from! Cheating is wrong!) 🦆

Let's not forget about the energy and computing power consumption that chatGPT requires. You though NFTs were bad? Wait when AI gets a bit more mainstream ☠️

as an artist im hella scared of how AI will affect the industry, like we aren't very far from a Disney AI generated movie 🦆

Loved your video ❤ Keep them coming‼️

I don’t like how people are not worried about AI This has an artificial mind of its own literally. I’d rather not see what happens if someone uses it for evil but No doubt that someone somewhere is going to. It’s just a waiting game and praying it won’t be too bad.

This video just makes me wanna live in the mountains forever yaknow In a Little cottage with all my things by a nice town where I can absolutely forget the internet I understand how my parents feel now, and I really hope I don’t want AI to turn our society into something completely different then what it should be.. Edit: YES GORILLAZ CRACKER ISLAND DOES SLAP

I've always disliked AI for the sole reason that every few years hundreds of articles on how "AI and Robots will be taking over this job and that job", which is good for jobs that nobody should have to do but when they're taking over jobs to profit CEOs who don't want to pay their employees livable wages but overwork them to death. It infuriates me because the job market is so over-saturated and people are STILL searching for jobs years after leaving school and even taking over art forms like animation, drawing comics/webtoons, writing novels, making fake kpop idols that they can overwork and not have to pay. You get the point, all this just screams "Making the rich richer and the poor poorer"

another fantastic video essay from you salem👏👏

Technology is getting weird…

The primary thing I’ve noticed that one can use to recognize a deepfake is that the forehead and eyebrow movement is almost nonexistent. This part of the face is heavily responsible for how we read each other’s moods as human beings, so I’d look for that if you’re watching a video and suspect that it could be A.I.

Love the new set up❤❤

super proud of you for wanting to push yourself and post more! just please make sure that ur doing this for you and not us. Love u!!

The fact that anyone could deepfake almost anyone and it will only keep getting harder to tell what's real is so terrifying🦆

Well a case happened in my country there was a popular fitness influencer that was very loved and adored. I was not really into that kind of thing but from what i have heard he was a sweet guy that had no bad intentions and didn't get into drama. Well some hater had used deepfake to make him seem like he was "having a wank" while recording.They posted the video and he got tons of backlash even though he was innocent. I think it shows how petty people can get if they have the sources to do so.

thank you for being you Salem ! love your name too, seriously your content is one of a kind! go girl go

New Subscriber, Love ur stuff!!❤

🦆This is something I had a group conversation with friends about when those AI photos came out that everyone was using on IG. This is getting too out of hand and as an artist myself it’s very scary how perfect everything comes out…

I feel, although it is quite scary in this stage that AI is the future and we really need to push LAW in that direction. We know AI is only to get better from here and if laws aren't put in place for deep faking someone without written consent then it will remain scary. We need to push the laws in early and not wait for terrible things to happen before putting set laws in place. I also think there will always be a portion of our society that rejects AI and robots completely. Like there are places now where people live with no electricity or no cars there will be places in the future where you can move to live an AI free life. So it's not THAT scary to me but at this moment, its the wild wild west and that is what makes it scary.

Great video - very informative

i truly, TRULY love ur content salem! thank you for making it and putting so much into it

This is such an important topic for thoughtful ethics discussions. I’ve been so paralysed by fear of the future of AI for the last half decade that I’ve essentially stopped posting non-text content online, and now my fomo is really gone.

I’m into freelance writing and I heard of AI taking over the writing space. Now this pops up.. Omg this is starting to get…… interesting.😵‍💫

Thanks a lot for the genuine lol I had when u introduced Brenda the plant😂😄❤I had been crying a minute b4

I've grown to hate AI due to the stuff happening in the artist community but I've realized that it's not the AI that's doing it but rather the creators and users who decide to break the rules. It just shows how many disgusting people out there don't care about others and just want to get popular easily or slip past the morals and use it for worse things than just quick fame. Companies and people want to get more money for less work and effort. 🦆

Tbh if humanity wont lose their own humanit, I think people will just need art with a soul.....and same with books, poetry, and every art form we need a feeling behind everything to exist....why where past artists so successful? Bc they painted with y Their feelings, you can literally feel what they were thinking, feeling at that time...what is tbh beautiful and humanity, should never get rid of it. This is why we have feelings.... same with singing, maybe they can imitate singers voice but just doest give of the same vibe.

Salem there is also a current "AI" thing that is going on in kpop. There's a group named MAVE and they are real people but "robotically" or AI generated. Just a little extra info I would like to share. Love you 🦆

This can go down a very dangerous route and I see it getting out of hand before any major laws are put in place. 🦆

Your new set up is giving YOU ARE AWESOME.

Really enjoyed this video! 🦆It is terrifying and I think a lot of people use it to create fake news which unfortunately people do believe. There is also AI Kpop group called Superkind and it is pretty freaky trying to see which 1 is fake out of the 5 of them. Apparently the AI is the most popular one. It must not feel so great going through auditions, all those years being a trainee, practice and talented artists yet an AI is easily taken one of those positions in the group which could have been filled by an actual person.

I've been waiting for this one

Remember when that streamer was caught PAYING MONEY for deep fakes of fellow streamers he worked with? And all he could give was a lame apology that was more about him being sad about ruining his own career than actually understanding how he breached his peers consent and trust? That is one of the things I fear about deep fakes. The lack of ability to prevent people from violating others. Men barely understand consent about distributing real nudes, let alone fake ones. It's just revolting to think about.

Salem: Go grab some water Me: *grabs a tequila seltzer

I’m perfectly happy with AI taking over the job of cleaning my house, doing my laundry, washing the dishes, getting groceries, so I can focus my energies and time on creating my own art, thank you very much.

I’m sorry your videos keep getting age restricted 🙄😫you’re always very respectful and pretty clear on your topics…maybe they just don’t like that you have the right opinions and are proud to share them🤷🏻‍♀️ anyways love you and your channel ❤❤

Instant sub! 💙💙💙

Great video, Salem! 🦆💞

girl everyday we get closer to a black mirror episode

I remember when lil miquela was being talked about and creepy people found her and now all this stuff is happening... I wonder if Black Mirror will come back and have an episode on deepfakes

This is so scary to me, especially as an visual artist. I've seen artists get exploited by others using AI. I can't tell what is AI and what is not already! 🦆🦆

new fear unlocked: being fully invested in an influencers content to later find out that they are not real

I feel like we should probably shut down the internet soon 😢

A year ago, I was listening to reddit youtubers using AI voices and one youtuber in particular had human like voices. You can still hear its robotic voice but what made it somewhat human was the that it took pauses to inhale every couple of minutes

loved the video!!!

i always look forward to your videos!! this AI stuff is terrifying😭

The AI influencers are creepy ngl. Btw I love the makeup look today! You always make such cool artistic looks! ❤️🦆

This was a really good video🦆 love you Salem, and have a nice day y’all

Thank you for talking about deep fakes alongside the AI conversation. The whole situation which made people more aware of these things happening is disgusting. More people need to see that these programs are out there and can be used to fabricate a lot of things that might have not happened, or someone didn't consent to, like the QTCinderella situation. I watch these guys and the fact that this was done by someone they knew and trusted is so scary. You never know what someone could be doing with your or your family pictures. I guess it's another reason why I don't have pics of my daughter online anywhere 😳

Thank you for reminding me to drink water & eat 😅 Also, loving Brenda and hope she has more appearances 🎉 🪴
