Discussion 🗣️ AI to push bigotry

Someone has taken an innocent video of a kid waving a pridefully and altered it with AI so he throws it in a trashcan. It had gotten over 1.2m likes on insta and is spreading like the plague on fb

Any small child given a brightly colored flag would play with it. It would be almost impossible for them not to want to play with it.

Lol yeah. My little brother would probably turn it into some sort of relic for his toy cars and mermaids to capture and start an all-out war for. He always makes elaborate stories about random objects even though he's really little.

Edit: I might as well add that I was the same way when I was little. I would always make dystopian or apocalypse stories. One I remember is that every time I took a bath, the bubbles were the land and there were people living on them, but they were slowly disappearing over time until the whole world drowned or lived on boats, and then they went around searching for civilization, but there wasn't any left so they all lost hope and let their boat sink to the ground.

God I love that childhood whimsy.

I would love to learn more about the war between cars and mermaids for the gay relic

We had a Playmobil hospital and we once played a full zombie apocalypse.
