  1. Egyptian pharaohs were from the Upper Nile or, more often, Lower Nile at different times in their history. One group looks more like modern Egyptians, the other, more like Sudanese. As for the rest of the ethnic stuff, it's a bunch of silliness. The fake images that involve real people and create obscenity IS serious.

  2. I love how I keep getting censored here.

  3. ​@barryfleming8488 I see you don't understand the references to what appear to be "Ethiopia" in Homer's Odyssey, but are not. You never wondered who Poseidon was visiting, that allowed Athena to have Odysseus repatriated?

  5. You think THIS is a big deal? You would. Americans live in the virtual world now. It is VERY serious. 😂

  6. Why do you all think this is serious? AI is raising your kids? Okay, then I guess so.

  8.  @ianmedford4855  It is definitive proof that WE HAD BETTER NOT TRUST AI. It will always be subject to gross manipulation by whoever rules, and be a vector for spreading their preferred propaganda.

  9. ​ @dop1000 Every day I find out that people are nuttier than I had thought the day before. This media is designed to demoralize.

  10. ​ @juststop022 No, you are, if this is such a big deal to you. Will kids be confused about real history? AI is raising them? Is that it?? Then that's the problem.

  11. @ChanceX74  Well, all right. I forget how people Worship at the Altar of the High Tech Billionaire. If AI shows Napoleon as black, the kids will soon think he was black. Or at least they will learn that if they make Napoleon (or George Washington or Leonardo DaVinci) black, they will get money for it. 💰 💰 So I am wrong. Mea culpa.

  12.  @Curling12341  The Nubians were pharaohs for a little over a century during the time the Illiad and the Odyssey were composed. Hence, the apparent references to the "Ethiopians," which were not modern-day Ethiopians at all. Nubians are from the Upper Nile (in modern Sudan). Lol, my autocorrect wants to change Nubian to Narnia. ðŸĪĢ

  13.  @Curling12341  Okay, we ought to know these facts of history, but the Egypt we study the most predated the "Golden Age" of Greece, well before Alexander -- well before the Peloponnesian War, for that matter. That is what most people picture when you mention Egypt, though you would hope they also knew something about Cleopatra, if only because Shakespeare wrote a play about her.

  14.  @destroytheboxes  Too bad my other post, about how ___ poses dangers, is gone. How ironic. But argue about identity nonsense, no problem.

  16. Maybe you don't know ancient history. Egyptian pharaohs were from the Upper Nile or, more often, Lower Nile at different times in their history. The people of those regions resemble modern Sudanese or Egyptians, respectively. As for the rest of the ethnic stuff, it's a bunch of silliness. The fake images that involve real people and create obscenity IS serious.

  17. ​ @barryfleming8488 Oh that's right. You didn't wonder about the Odyssey. My bad.

  18.  @ChanceX74  This should be a bunch of silliness. That history is unknown by the average college grad, never mind high school grads, is the real problem. All they learn now is advertising and marketing (= propaganda). Whatever pleases the elites at the moment is "truth(y)" . . .

  21.  @destroytheboxes  If AI shows Napoleon as black, will the kids soon think he was black? Or will they learn that if they make Napoleon (or George Washington or Leonardo DaVinci) black, they will get money for it? Then that IS the real problem. Whoever controls these algorithms will be able to spread whatever propaganda they prefer. This will change based primarily on cha-ching, or the whims of the billionaires.

  22. Yes, seeing you all go ballistic over a joke is rough all right. Unless AI already rules and is actually convincing kids that George Washington was black, or anything else that it wants to misrepresent. Then yes, you do have problems. Big problems. The election should be a doozy.

  23.  @RedWing88  Yes. Obviously getting ready for the election, huh? This really is bad.

  24. @gianni_schicchi  Look, I thought it was utterly laughable because the vaunted AI made a mistake a learning-challenged 10 year old would know better than to make, but I concede I may be wrong. I better get up to speed here.

  25. @utah_koidragon7117  Well, all right. I forgot how people Worship at the Altar of the High Tech Billionaire. If AI shows Napoleon as black, the kids will soon think he was black. Or at least they will learn that if they make Napoleon (or George Washington or Leonardo DaVinci) black, they will get money for it. They may even get into Harvard, if not MIT, if they make him black and that may very well be worse. Mea culpa. But distributing an obscene fake image of a living person IS objectively worse for the simple reason that it is a tort or a crime. Making Shakespeare black is only a crime figuratively. My advice, if I may, after this insensitive performance on my part: have a physical library. Buy your kids real books. Start now.

  30.  @harnessriscallous7466  Unbelievable. Okay. I forget how people Worship at the Altar of the High Tech Billionaire. If AI shows Napoleon as black, the kids will soon think he was black. Or at least they will learn that if they make Napoleon (or George Washington or Leonardo DaVinci) black, they will get money for it. 💰 💰 Yes, I see how this is wrong.

  31. How is making imperialists look like those they colonized discriminate against whites? It's a whitewash, lol. ðŸĪŠ

  32. Egyptian pharaohs were from the Upper Nile or, more often, the Lower Nile at different times in their history. It's true that they did look different. As for the rest of the ethnic stuff, it's a bunch of silliness. Why do you take it seriously? Will people be fooled by it? The fake images that involve real people, and create obscenity that looks real and lasts forever online IS serious.

  33.  @ianmedford4855  I got the point all right. Did you? AI will spread propaganda faster than an engineered virus spreads disease. It is not to be trusted.

  34. @porter9494 I don't vote for the major parties. Even Brie did not vote for Joe OR Hillary. Now you're saying stuff I agree with, and interjecting some weird conflict, for some reason. Sorry your other post is gone. I did not complain about it. EDIT: One of my posts keeps appearing then disappearing. That is one more example of what this stuff does to discourse in general.

  35. Did Gemini AI generate images of people of color in countries where people of color are unusual? They aren't unusual in Paris. Wait. AI doesn't work? Oh my goodness I am so shocked.
