We all knew this was where deepfakes were headed, and just like with all the other bad things happening since 2016, nobody's done a single thing about it.

My mother is thoroughly addicted to Facebook and literally gets all her news from there. I keep sending her warnings about more targeted AI generated content and she keeps shrugging it off saying she "does her own research and doesn't just blindly accept what gets posted." Which from talking to her I know is total bullshit. I don't know how to pull her out of it...

You need a deep fake of your mom to tell her about it.

Maybe throw in a reference to time travel to really freak her out 😁

My MIL isn't addicted to Facebook, but fell deep into vegan/plant-based stuff lately and says the same thing about doing her own research and not blindly believing stuff. I already knew a lot of the stuff she has been pushing on us was complete BS but the kicker was when she said meat and dairy cause autism

fell deep into vegan/plant-based stuff

It's annoying as hell, because there are plenty of sane and rational arguments to cut meat out of your diet (cost, just for starters). And then you've got the woo-woo types who insist the vegan from Scott Pilgrim was a real guy.

she said meat and dairy cause autism

If only! Imagine what the world would be like if all the most obnoxious chud internet personalities endlessly pushing the Offal Diet or Three Steaks a Day or whatever took it down about eight notches and got deeply into model trains, instead.

but the kicker was when she said meat and dairy cause autism

Peta said that and has never once apologized for it.
