the worst mistake I ever made was showing my boomer dad youtubeall he watches is AI generated slopI try to tell him it's all fake, the man on the screen isn't real, his voice isn't real, nothing in the videos are real. And he doesn't believe it.Just says he's not wrong. As if for a video to be fake, the facts in it have to be wrong. As long as the narrator is saying something that's true, then the video isn't fake. That's his rationalisation of it.
>>110272846>As long as the narrator is saying something that's true, then the video isn't fake.Boomers are easily duped like this. They'll accept 9 lies if the liar says 1 truth.
>>110272846My dad sends me obviously AI generated youtube shorts videos every few months. I don't want to say anything but it's embarrassing. Not sure if he thinks it's real and cool or just likes it for the spectacle, like enjoying an action flick
>>110272846>boomerSkill issue unironically. My 80 year old grandma tells phone scammers to go fuck themselves.
the algorithm has him stuck in a blackhole of slopand the more videos he watches,the more slop the algorithm feeds himI've seen him watching crazy shit,just completely made up,like a news story about some celebrity murdering everybody in the court room. Nothing like that actually happened in reality.
my mom is pretty similar.luckily she mostly watches these weird 3-4h movies from god knows where that are free on youtube with a spanish dub
Here's one channel he likes to watch. It uploads slop every day.I tried to tell him that it's not a real man, and he's completely computer generated, and everything in the videos are take, and he doesn't believe it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpB_hBa6Nfk
what does it mattermy dad's big into LLMs himself and this had the effect of him fucking off and not bothering me about bullshit tech support questions as much as he used to in the pastjust let him watch the slop and don't worry about it?

>>110272891there's are real "people living in the mountains" channels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWWByKsTXDQhe may not like them as much, but maybe he'll learn to see the differences (while the differences are still noticeable...)
>>110272909>had the effect of him fucking off and not bothering meanother human connection severed by AI. skynet is already dividing, soon comes the conquering
>>110272891this is not AI schizo
>>110272865how about you ask him
>>110272846I'm so glad that my dad hates technology and only uses his laptop to pay his bills (since everything, even paying bills, is online these days). I don't think he uses his laptop for anything other than internet banking and paying his utility bills. I told him he can do all that stuff on a cheap $100 smartphone rather than a $400 laptop, but he said that smartphones are for "techies" kek. I love the way he is. Sorry to hear about your own dad, OP.
>>110273004gigabased
>>110272846100% same
>>110272891>and he doesn't believe it.I opened the YT link you provided and the video is very blatantly AI. Hell, it even says "Made with AI" in the video's descriptions. Try showing your dad the description, OP.>>110272937Stfu dumbass. That video is blatant AI. You can tell by how it looks and how the voice of the "person" in it sounds. It even says in the description that it's AI generated.
I don't see any legitimate defense against banning all forms of generative images, videos and music.
>>110272846boomers love that ai bullshit, my father is the same, thankfully it has not captured my mother.although recently i found he likes to play mahjong so i installed a mahjong application on their imac running debian and i think he is playing that more that watching youtube.
>>110272909i am beyond fatigue of cattle-posters that start their sentences with "why do you care" or "why does it matter"if I ever see you in real life I will spit on your face
>>110272846get fucked boomers
This but with my boomer mom. She listens to AI music she get's off of YouTube and listens to it 24/7. Even my dad knows it's AI and tells her to quit listening to it lol
>>110272865is it like joke videos
>>110272866My grandpa had all the means to be rich AF, so filthy rich I could have lived my life in luxuries fucking 18 yo cute prostitutes. Instead he let himself got scammed several times up to the bitter end.
>>110272846In my dad's case is not AI but health related snake oil, they reach a certain age and they turn into gullible children it's kind of fucked.
>>110272846there's zero difference between ai-generated youtube content slop and human-generated content slop
>>110276897It's not so much that they turn into gullible children, but rather that technology is improving faster than their mental capacity can keep up. Back in their day, anything being advertised on TV had to be strictly regulated. Nowadays, you can buy chinkadine tablets on aliexpress that will allegedly give you superhuman strength and keep your bones from aging, or whatever the fuck claim it says on the bottle.Boomers and xoomers have to suffer living through technology in their 50s and 60s that their teenaged years and 20s never prepared them for. We may very well become the same one day, anon.
>>110272846my mom watches ai slop on her Facebook feed. Everything>K-drama looking stuff with tung tung sahur level plots>advice/positivity slop>medical animation looking stuffAnd she knows this is ai and I tell her when she shows me these but I guess she doesn't care or doesn't fully understand that the whole video, from conception, script and everything is made by a computer with little to no human input.She thinks it's just the editing or something and tells me to ignore it and and listen to what the video is saying...
