How Serpens Cattus appeared.
Eight days ago, while "cleaning" the phone, I came across a saved photo of a cat with a fancy color. Here I think, cool, poured "snake cat". Let me see how it will be in
...
Latin? Google translated as "Serpens Cattus". Well, OK.
Then I took a description of a random breed from some special site, changed the name to Serpens Cattus, added nonsense about the Amazon floodplain, added a link to a non-existent Telegram channel for plausibility, and let the Snake Cat walk on Facebook.
I am reporting the results of the walk for today, the kitty is six days old.
There are 520 reposts known to me from my page.
And dozens more pages, where the picture and text have tens of thousands of reposts.
The cat can be found on YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, as well as in newspapers around the world.
A couple of months ago, I wrote that soon the Internet will be littered with photos of an alternative reality. And if you add more or less believable text to the photo, it will be completely bingo. Beautiful, pins, cool - it means like and repost.
The sad conclusion from this story is that future generative models, not without human help, of course, will flood the network with a stream of harmless, neutral, and quite dangerous "news". Whether people will be able to filter them and distinguish lies from the truth is a big question. I think the only chance people have to protect themselves from destructive disinformation is another artificial intelligence that will explain to the leather klutz where they are trying to f*ck him.
And the funny conclusion is that I became a parent again. Hey, unknown artist, respond, we are now a family, and our child has gone to live on the Internet)
