And you know this, how? If you believe that, why stay here?
I have strong feelings against AI-created/-polished text, but I see plenty of stories in the Updated Serials page by authors who have a long history of being able to write without AI assistance. So I'm calling bullshit on your offensive post.

just about everything here now is AI generated.

Do you have data to back up this assertion, or is this just as a case of making an outrageous statement and expecting others to believe you?

Anything before 2020 is likely to be written by a human.

I would say that's a bit conservative. Anything before 2023 is fairly safe.

Equally, like how AI imagery was really rubbish a year ago, it's now getting to the stage where it's almost lifelike. And as for moving images, they were terrible with no lip sync six months ago, now they are actually really good. Albeit for only ten seconds in length. Give it another year and they will have sorted the length problem. I reckon in a year or so, AI written works will start to become really good. It's just a matter a of time.

It's going to arrive a lot sooner than people are expecting and lot of people are going to be out of work. Look at Only Fans, more and more of the 'models' on it are AI constructs and that's only going to increase as the months pass.

AI is also getting easier to use, so you are going to see a lot more content of...everything... as people find they can 'create' with just a few text/voice prompts. Given the depravity of some peoples minds, LEA are in for a wild ride!

My Sunday newspaper, which I buy for its once-decent football coverage, likes to adorn the rest of its content with female celebs wearing not a lot (but no nudes). It's getting harder and harder to detect where the images have been enhanced but one weak area is thumbs, presumably because AI doesn't grok them. In several cases it seems to have admitted defeat and left the celeb with four fingers but no thumbs.

There seems to be a sweet spot for AI-generated chapters of 1,300-1,600 words. If you see a new story on SOL's home page with a first chapter of that length, it should scream, "Danger, Will Robinson!"

Whoa! That chapter length could be one of my stories. I may not be the most intellectual, but what intelligence I have is not artificial.

So short chapters and em-dashes define artificial intelligence? OMG! I'm an AI.

But that's what an AI would say... 🤔 🤪

Me too!

Actually, looking at today's AI offerings, perhaps that should be 3000 words.

That used to be the case.

Take for instance the following Youtube video. Totally AI generated. All of it, the music, lyrics and video.

It's weak in places, most notably at 23 seconds where the couple 'try' to hold hands. What is notable about the video, is that AI used to be abysmal with tattoos. Now it can keep them 'on the flesh' and keep the form/shape of them without distortion as limbs moves.

The other issue was lip sync. However they are getting on top of that as well. Take the following;

https://youtu.be/iM6XBNOkKQg?si=lT83PsAz7t7SZxU1

For most people, especially those who consume media on their phones, that is more than decent enough to watch and is almost lifelike in quality. Would I watch a TV series or film with AI characters of that visual or vocal quality? Yes, yes I would.

And you will note AJ, that the thumbs are pretty decent on both.

All that's holding them back, is that it all goes to shit after about ten seconds (I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the processing power increases exponentially which is why clips/takes are restricted to ten seconds (ish)). Given the speed at which things are progressing (This was all a pipe dream five years ago), I would not be surprised if they fix the time issue in two to three years.

I'm actually looking forward to it. Can you imagine the ability to upload any book ever written and have it made into a film a few hours later...

It cost studios millions and months of work to create the likes of Oliver Reed for just a minute or so screen time for Gladiator, 25 years ago. Now, someone in their bedroom can have Oliver Reed at that same quality, do and say pretty much what they want, for forty odd pounds a month.

Would I watch a TV series or film with AI characters of that visual or vocal quality?

Allegedly the Wallace and Gromit films were all illegally scraped, so now anyone can use AI to produce their own Wallace and Gromit films without manipulating plasticine figures for a year.
