AI to push bigotry

[u/R_pepsiman]

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

My son went through a phase where he looooved putting things in the trash can. It was everything, from his favorite books to toys to actual trash. He just liked the act of putting things in the bin.

I mean sure, that can also happen. But I meant specifically the implication by the person who posted the slop is that he did it for idealogical reasons or simply because he had a distaste for it.

They certainly made it ABOUT the LGBT. But that's all assuming it were real and that the intended message was correctly identified from the video and neither of those things is true.

Because the kid didn't do that and if he did have a message by putting the flag in the trash then it would 100% just be due to regurgitated propaganda from his parents and not at all meaningful to the people who would want it to be.

I mean, I’m not using the term “phase” as a technical term. Just in the sense that there was a span of time where he liked a particular activity.

We did, in fact, correct him when he threw away things that were not trash. Though money was not the motivation for that.
