This was generated using 2 prompts - one was to generate the text and I was happy with the text so asked it to make it into an image to present it.
My question is how can people even trust any kind of platform like Reddit where everything you see can be faked completely?
Obviously you can still tell from my example that its AI generated but if you are a company like Reddit where your source of income is based on new users joining and the total communities engagement in posts you would have the motivation to make sure you have your own AI running and faking the engagement - a system like that would most likely be indistinguishable from real users (especially when you have a decades worth of posts and comments to drain inspiration from)
At this point Reddit could easily become a mass influence device. For example:
Push users to buy certain products by generating massive amounts of posts talking about how great the product they searched for is
Reinforce their negative views to influence their decision making - like convincing a reddit user to break up with their partner because that tiny issue they had qualms about is actually a massive red flag(at least according to the community)
AI being used to single out forever alone users, pretending to be a human getting into an online relationship with them and then using those emotions to make them do things.
Manipulate political opinions(which we have seen done before, just not on this scale)
Identify key individuals and then manipulate them to guarantee certain actions
The list goes on and on but you get the point.
