- AI-generated photographs of wooden carved dogs are filling up Facebook Pages, 404 Media stories.
- The content material appears to be an engagement-bait tactic for spammy pages.
- While actual wooden carvers are (principally) unharmed, it reveals how AI is getting used for spam on Facebook.
When it involves statues of German shepherds carved completely by a chainsaw, you possibly can say it isn’t your style in artwork — however you possibly can’t say it isn’t spectacular.
Which I suppose is why chainsaw sculptures are on the nexus of an unlimited and unusual internet of Facebook Pages that look like churning out AI-generated images of males posing subsequent to chainsaw-made sculptures of dogs.
404 Media went down this weird rabbit gap, speaking to individuals who observe AI-generated picture spam throughout engagement-bait Facebook Pages.
An precise chainsaw artist named Michael Jones, whose actual picture was the origin of the spammy AI variations, spoke to 404 Media, explaining why the entire thing bothers him:
“This is one thing that could be a enormous challenge for us and different carvers everywhere in the world who’re sadly lacking out on the rightful credit score publicity to their work,” Jones advised me, “in addition to setting unrealistic expectations with regards to creating chainsaw carving artwork or any artwork for that matter!”
Facebook didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark from BI on whether or not these posts on its Pages platform are in violation of any of its guidelines for content material.
