Evil! Eeeevil!
I thought it was real briefly, but I couldnt get over his right hand. Itâs holding something that seems to be melded with his hand.
Really, this photo/illustration is very well done. If I hadnât seen the denial before, I really would have thought that the Pope had given up on commanding the destinies of Catholics around the World and would be singing tonight at the Loollapaloosa festival in SĂŁo Paulo.
You are right. What could belie this photo is the hand and the object that the Pope is holding. Was it a cup of coffee? Those fingers, it looks like he has gangrene and urgently needs an amputation.
Another strange thing is Mr. Bergoglio´s body posture. It appears from the latest news from the Vatican that he is not in very good health and the photo shows a man walking very straight, like a young athlete.
Itâs one thing for a fake photo like this to fool you and me. It is quite another thing for a magazine with a certain reputation to publish such a photo and mix it with facts such as the stylist who makes the popeâs clothes, in order to give credibility to his hoax.
It will soon become very easy to deceive people with these lies. In everyday life, people only read the headlines, often purposely written in a dubious way to attract clicks, just imagine a complete article made by Artificial Intelligence, custom-made to attack a political foe, a girlfriend who discovered that the great love of her life was nothing more than a a***** or even starting a war.
Here is an article, in Italian, about Mr. Sorcinelli, who made the ecclesiastical vestments of popes and cardinals.
Now Vogue Brasil published another article pretending that it wasnât deceived and pointing the finger at those who believed in the hoax.
He foolishly touched Benedictâs last horcrux before destroying it.
It would be a great Marvel movie.
I mean. Using CGI models has been a thing for years for fashion companies and the world of fashion modeling isnât exactly known for being ethical so iâm not too entirely upset about the idea of AI putting that industry in grave financial danger.
As usual its the workers who will be hurt financially first
Do be careful! Donât lose any of that stuff. Thatâs concentrated
evilInternet. One drop of that could turn you all into hermit crabs.

In no small part because we humans have ideas that, in turn, we struggle to express.
ChatGPT expresses itself effortlessly, but doesnât have any ideas.
As I understand, you can ask it for citations, but theyâre frequently crap that doesnât support the biases baked into its dataset.
eta: Which suggests that it has no access to the sources of material that comes out of the blackbox, and when asked for citations, itâs doing a separate after-the-fact query of âFind something that looks like it supports the shit just produced.â
Thinking more on that, Clever Hans these AIs arenât human, and itâs entirely reasonable that they should have a âWiki Mode Outputâ (or âShow Your Workâ) button that automatically adds footnotes and cites to the output. No one should have to ask for citations.
Unless Full Self-Driving these AIs arenât as capable as hyped by the people who want to insert them into a created middle-man position, become the dominant brand, which they can then exploit and be the next Google.
Needs the first two panels repeated, with the overlay text in the middle
âHere are multiple citations and sources.â
âBut none of these sources or citations exist.â
You know Iâve been asking this question of database suppliers/publishers who do have access to all that stuff, make their living from it, and unsurprisingly their answers have been worthless.
Because as it stands it not only doesnât provide correct references, it is incapable of doing so, like a visual diffusion rendering text in a fake poster it only looks like words if you squint. If you look closely, itâs not words, nor are the articles or journals. Which makes me unsympathetic to academics who think they would give top marks to generative LLMs.
They can do in text citations (as an aside: make page numbers mandatory for in text citations, itâs poor practice not to) which have a good chance of being correct.
