This is really sad, and also, most people soon cannot tell the difference between a real human or a bot online, I've seen even A.I. influencer accounts on Twitter, with photos and videos, all A.I. and not real and people reply to it and talk with it, creepy and strange.

In 2022, nearly half (47.4%) of all internet traffic came from bots, a 5.1% increase over the previous year. The proportion of human traffic (52.6%) decreased to its lowest level in eight years.

For the fourth consecutive year, the volume of bad bot traffic — malicious automated software applications capable of high-speed abuse, misuse, and attacks — grew to 30.2%, a 2.5% increase over 2021. The staggering level of bad bot activity across the internet in 2022 was the highest since the creation of the Imperva Bad Bot Report in 2013.

I think some kind of identification will soon be needed to use many services so that the bots can be stopped. I don't see any other way.

KEK! It was surprising to see the art industry more or less collapse. I'm iimagining custom e-whores who will perfrom any sexual act you can dream up. Perhaps having a list of farm animals in the virtual stable wouldn't be a bad idea either. How will real, live performers compete?

The popularity of photos boasting four scantily clad, look-alike women has some questioning whether they are real or fake, and wondering about the future of OnlyFans because of it.

This trick of the eye is, apart from obvious reasons, what made the photo take off.

One Twitter user reposted the photo and explained, "Apparently this picture and other (sic) are going viral on socials because women are seething and debating whether these girls are AI generated."

They continued: "I am totally starting a fake AI generated Onlyfans for gullible idiots if I fail this trading thing."

Late last week, MSN.com's Microsoft Travel section posted an AI-generated article about the "cannot miss" attractions of Ottawa that includes the Ottawa Food Bank, a real charitable organization that feeds struggling families. In its recommendation text, Microsoft's AI model wrote, "Consider going into it on an empty stomach." ...
