in fact, this green text was made purely from asking chatgpt what ai will look like in 10 years

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Unironically the best greentext I ever read was the bottomless pit one written by AI
That was like 3 years ago when generative AI was fun and whimsical
The last time I had fun with LLMs was back when GPT2 was cutting-edge, I fine-tuned GPT2-Medium on Twitch chat logs and it alternates between emote spam, complete incoherence, blatantly unhinged comments, and suspiciously normal ones. The bot is still in use as a toy, specifically because it's deranged and unpredictable. It's like a kaleidoscope for the slice of internet subculture it was trained on, much more fun than a plain flawless mirror.
much more fun than a plain flawless mirror.
yeah agreed! Back in the day I used to generate text for fun with n-grams and I never went higher than bigrams bc it was boring without those unexpected disfluencies. I thought of it being like an electric guitar, you want it to sound a little raw.
The first ai green texts made me laugh so much. They managed to perfectly capture the essence of a green text but because they were dumb they would create the most weird situations.
🤯
This guy bought so many rare monkey tokens. Ai is impressive in some aspects, but it's not nearly as impressive as the marketing that drives the massive amounts of investment into it.
The US economy is doing anything it can to create growth, which is causing investors to create a bubble around AI that is "too big to fail".
I wonder if personal websites with links to each other, like in the olden days, will start growing in popularity again because of how trust is slowly eroded for anything not in your direct control, and search engines becoming more and more useless 🤔
Same here! This will be the way for me.
But, but, how will we monetize it? How!?
/s
I long for the early 2k internet. So much potential positivity for humanity.
Gotta spin me up a Neocities page...
I think this vastly overestimates the average person's ability to recognise or even care to recognise what is AI and what is not.
You've got all those videos on Facebook which are BLATANTLY AI and the comment section is split between "wow, amazing!" and "it's AI you fucking morons"
The latter will eventually leave the platform and the former will be all that's left.
And it is not going to take 10 years. It is right around the corner.
Then new people will grow up in an environment where its only the wow amazing people and they never hear from the its ai you moron people.
We're a dying breed. There are people alive today who will never know anything other than the post truth world.
Interesting times.
Scary times
This has already happened, many years ago. I know this because everyone but me is actually a highly sophisticated robot that resembles a member of my species. I'm onto you.
When I was a kid I had a theory that I'm the only conscient being in the world, and that everyone is some sort of a robot.
I couldn't share it with anyone, because obviously no one was real but me.
He figured it out. Time to shut it down.
Finally. This iteration was starting to become weird anyway.
you can't trick me machine. You can't convince me I am the robot and you are the conscious. it can't be possible.
Part of the fun of watching stuff isn't because it "customised to me" it's sharing an experience with the creator(s) and friends, family etc.
I see genAI being used as a tool for creators but not as an automation of content creation.
I don't think everyone is into that link tho (/j)

I personally doubt that will happen, since the current models require a lot of data to get better, something we actually don't have. The real danger is what happens once we figure out how to make models without an absurd amount of data.
As well as that, the internet is less reliable since there's a lot more botshit on it.
email. gmail already summarizes every mail by default in the US. most emails are bot spam. ppl start using ai bots to answer emails. is that the internet of things?
Actually, polls show that most people are not fond of AI-generated content and want it to be labelled or don't want it at all.
As for generating your own entertainment at home, see interactive movies. They did not take off because people don't want to be "working" for their entertainment. That's their time to relax and not make decisions.
All in all, we're not as careless as it may seem.
Not to mention those interactive movies from the early 90s games that also didn't take off because they were sorely lacking in the game department
I'd be very interested in these polls if you have some to link!
We should get polaroids and analog film again
Man, the AI Bros shilling this stuff are really active in 4Chan, apparently.
>I have long-since decided to stop watching new media altogether, opting instead for anime that I downloaded and hoarded before 2030, that I can verify was made before generative AI gained popularity
And I'm open to recommendations, I need to stockpile a good 30 years worth of content and I only have like 2 right now
I have a friend that does a rolling schedule on her hoarded old media, which according to her, is sufficient for the rest of her life.

Skynut is coming, in all its smutty glory and we can do nothing about it

Reading this made my eye twitch.
Before the invention of video, humanity didn't have video evidence either and still managed. We are approaching the end of a ~150 year time period in the history of humanity in which video evidence is persuasive.
"Managed" in the sense that crimes could only really be resolved if you had witnesses, and "managed" in the sense that it was far more common for people to be wrongly convicted. Photo and video evidence are pretty crucial to having modern crime resolution rates.
Video evidence is relatively easy to fix, you just need camera ICs to cryptographically sign their outputs. If the image/video is tampered with (or even re-encoded) the signature won't match. As the private key is (hopefully!) stored securely in the hardware IC taking the photo/video, any generated images or videos can't be signed by such a private key.
So whatever way the camera output is being signed, what's stopping you from signing an altered video with a similar private key and then saying "you can all trust that my video is real because I have the private key for it."
The doubters will have to concede that the video did indeed come from you because it pairs with your key, but why would anyone trust that the key came from the camera step instead of coming from the editing step?
You can enter the camera as evidence, and prove that it has been used for other footage. Each camera should have a unique key to be effective.
So if you create a new key, it won't match the one on am existing camera. If you steal the key, then once that's discovered, the camera should generate a new one.
You, the end user, don't have access to your camera's private key. Only the camera IC does. When your phone / SD card first receives the image/video it's already been signed by the hardware.
The last bullet is true even now. Just go into Threads or Bluesky. So many bots and scammers.
I made every one of these predictions years ago
