Our Dark Patterns

If you want to deal with AI poison (artifacts added to images to corrupt AI training) you just need to teach AI to run an edge detection plugin and to run a contrast plugin and line the output of both up. If they do not align on the image edge toss the art out and train on something else. Since this process can be automated and is basically similar to Photoshop plugins that exist it should be very easy to avoid AI poison. This technique could also be used to masque a subject or possibly remove the artifacts using corrective/predictive AI filters. Some AI plugins already do image healing so AI poison isn't nearly as bad as people might think.

I still support AI art but maintain the standing that AI art isn't really yours unless you make the models and the prompts as well as the training data. I just enjoy swinging at all anti-tech f**k3ry.

Incase some of you haven't noticed I use my comments to screen through people and find the bad actors so they can be removed. I have a few that are now sorted. People with no less than 10+ fake organizations that are exclusively partnered with each other and talking about the millions of contributors while not being able to finish a single website. All pushing an $8/mo membership fee via a cancelled PayPal payment account. When people take aggressive positions with me I look into them to see why. Then I know why. I document it all and send it to the authorities and let them sort out the bad behavior. I stopped being quiet because I realized that is not working and never did. They only people saying to side step things are the bad actors covering their own 455.

Has anyone else noticed it's always the guys with about a dozen degrees (all in completely unrelated disciplines) listed as attending MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Georgia Tech, and a smattering of CS and UC schools (all with different systems that don't usually transfer) that claim to speak 5 languages and have high appointments within various organizations (that they appear to have founded) who are always on the Internet chastising people or bloviating like a the worlds biggest hair dryer?

I mean how do they have so much time? Time machines... they must have invented time machines and immortality. They must be longevity geniuses.

It is remarkable to see how various people respond to partnerships offers. There is a study on human nature there somewhere.
