Fuck AI@lemmy.world•This TikTok star sharing Australian animal stories doesn’t exist – it’s AI Blakface
21·18 hours agoApplying the term blackface to content generation is an interesting development that provokes some intriguing questions.
- Aside from the lack of artistry, what is the difference between a person doing this and creating a character in animation or text that shares the same culture/race? Is there a line to be drawn there?
- Clearly the odds are incredibly high that the person behind this isn’t Aboriginal themselves, but considering the small chance that they are, would that still be problematic?
- Historically, blackface requires caricature and stereotyping. Would this be considered acceptable with those carefully excluded (outside of the essential harm of content generation)?
- And a more general question - Is there a better term that’s not more-or-less exclusive to black oppression in the US? Something that is applicable to any race or culture?
I suppose I should take a stab at them myself:
- I think, if there is a line to draw, it probably sits at the level of impersonation. If someone is using content generation to gain a sense of legitimacy or belonging they otherwise lack, that would be unacceptable.
- Personally, I don’t believe being part of a race/culture prevents a person from being racist about it, so it’s not a surefire exoneration either way. It is also a difficult/impossible thing to prove one way or the other with content generation. I suppose it’s fair to assume the worst unless proven otherwise.
- This overlaps with the first question, imo. If there’s no aspect of stereotyping or caricature, it’s basically just a puppet/character and is unproblematic (racially) as long as it’s not being used as a mask to fake legitimacy.

Yet.
Not ever, really.
Movie premise spoiler(?)
The movie’s real focus is ethics in wartime journalism. They could’ve been documenting any war and the plot would remain largely the same, including radical local groups taking advantage of the chaos to inflict harm and death. The closest it comes to being vaguely relevant is the suggestion that such a conflict could happen at all in the US. No part of the movie really focuses on the why or how of the conflict - just typical war-torn country stuff.

11·3 days agoI do think he’s authentically pretty stupid, but I would also believe it’s for money. He’s had “moments of clarity” before, then changed his tune pretty quick. May be acting up again to get attention or some hush money.
What? Do roads not become crosswalks where you live?

3·4 days agoHave to say, the reintroduction of Max had heavy AI vibes.
They did some not-so-great de-aging in some scenes, basically Deepfake tech, I think. They had also used it in S4 for 11’s flashbacks. No idea why they did it for Max’s first scene since it was not used for her at any point after.













Dunno how comprehensive the site is, but this was the closest I could find: https://snltranscripts.jt.org/2022/weekend-update-guy-who-just-bought-a-boat-on-romantic-summer-getaways.phtml
There’s also reference to a bit from 1978 about Napoleon with a B-52 bomber, but no transcript.
