Threats to conservation from artificial-intelligence-generated wildlife images and videos
"Three distinctive characteristics of contemporary society can exacerbate this issue: the pervasive use of social media, anthropomorphizing of animal behavior, and disconnection from nature."

in reply to Frank Aylward • • •I think the most important message here is that we need #mediaLiteracy.
Unfortunately, the trend of #alienation from nature, #anthropomorphising etc. began long before #AI: with the #instagramisation of life. Now it's the mass of #AISlop.
Which is different from #AI as #ML. In our nature park we try to reconnect children with nature via technics: on excursions in the forest etc. they may use their ID-Apps (which work with AI!) ... and many know more about species than their parents.
