You must have had a moment of tolerance or an original thought!

It's interesting how much social media has changed our perception of things.

I was in a webinar yesterday that was shot in such a way that I thought the first presenter was AI. Apparently, I wasn't alone as the moderator had to keep confirming the humanity of the presenters in the chat. It was the lighting. It made their skin look fake.

Yeah, I saw a picture in a photography group I'm in that was part of a photog's exhibit (supposedly), and it just looked like AI to me. Due to the weird lighting/color corrections, etc. But AI has to be based on something.
It's not me, it's someone else.

Congress is questioning Zuck and others about their obvious targeting of children and the addiction of social media.

At this point, I think severely limiting social media would be a net win for humanity.
