"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Ways to tell that this video is fake:

  1. NYPD patches with gibberish
  2. Fast shots with unnatural movements
  3. Eye glasses that melt off with the face mask
  4. ICE wears military fatigues, with camo and extra ammo to shoot protesters with, they don't have uniforms.
  5. Eloquent fascists that are being respectful to the NYPD
  6. Strange things in the background
  7. The NYPD are doing their jobs

Fact check: Are ICE fakes trying to drown out real videos?

Also if it just says "ICE" on their uniforms, its almost definitely AI. The real ones say "POLICE ICE"

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 25 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't think I've seen it say ICE on any of the military fatigues I've seen

[–] homes@piefed.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Some of them do. It’s just that most of them don’t.

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah it often doesn't say it at all

Tbh I think that every time I see it

People that are getting good at spotting AI should call themselves Blade Runners.

Deckard was a replicant, and more importantly, a cop.

They programmed him to believe he was retired, maybe also a way to not pay him, and it didn't take much to convince him.

[–] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago

Been a bit since I’ve seen both movies. I’m due for a rewatch.

How does this generate sympathy for ICE? This feels more like propaganda for NYPD to make them look like they care. I would love to see some AI videos showing ICE admitting they are wrong and calling for their own arrest.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 21 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

It's not real.

The nice AI ICE agents are being so respectful to the NYPD. Those poor Federal Agents are being doxed because the NYPD took off their facemask and revealed their identity.

This can be used as justification for a federal invasion.

ACAB.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ok, but it's clearly created as nypd propaganda, not ICE, who look weak.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe, but then why do the ai ice agents look so sorry, and speak so respectfully?

I think it was made by someone that supports ICE and hates NY as a way to show their friends and family what's "really" happening in these blue cities.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I took it to imply the cops are the bosses standing up to bullies, who break once you kick one in the balls.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Sure, but they aren't and there is tons of proof of that.

Either way, this was intended as Memetic warfare

If you're someone who already believes that New York City is a violent hell hole and ICE is cleaning it up, then videos like this that get mindlessly scrolled past can reinforce that belief and are unlikely to be critically analyzed.

Holy shit! That whole video is fake / AI slop? I need to step up my game detecting that. That's crazy!

[–] I_Jedi@lemmy.today 23 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Some of the tips for reality checking dreams can also be used for AI. Examples. So, you'll want to check that the various machines in the video are doing what they should, the objects in mirrors are located/positioned where they should be, the text and spoken words are comprehensible when they should be, and the objects still respect collision (third party pushing finger through hand test).

I'll add some other good questions to ask yourself to catch AI:

  1. Who's holding this camera? How are they getting this angle?
  2. How is the camera work in the situation? AI tends to be smooth and even movements, like it's on a track and stabilized, unlike real footage in hectic scenarios.

The best part is, these are somewhat unlikely to be fixed in the near future, as footage looking "professional" is desirable for the AI companies, unlike gibberish text and questionable physics.

Notice how these videos also always include angry black cops yelling at surprisingly complacent white Ice guys for a little extra pandering woke warm fuzzies.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Also notice how it's acting yelling, not the genuine rage they are trying to portray.

Lol cops dont protect and serve

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 11 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

See reason 7 on why this is fake

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah dont get me wrong, I'd love to see state and federal gangs taking each other out. But thats not happening. Cops and ICE are the same kind of people.

The last clip showing an ICE agent being taken away with an NYPD-like patch on his ICE uniform. ICE uniforms don’t have local precinct's patches.

Plus same gibberish on the patch, the police truck in the background and the NYPD officers.

Edit: Screenshot with markups

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

"Sotreé Seet" is a real place in New York I am pretty sure

Also not surprised that all but one of the belligerent NYPD are non white...

[–] caboose2006@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Man, I wish this wasn't AI slop.

[–] sleepmode@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Had the opposite effect on me.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 9 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I wish it was real. But know it is not. We are not the intended audience and generated videos are getting harder to spot.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago

Good skill to have in any case. The amount of slop being vomited up from the depths of the digital bowels of whatever computing has become is disheartening.

[–] paequ2@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

Ah, yes, filming at the Sotreé Seet station.

I wish this was real. :/
