Modern Web Woes - I'm mad at the internet

Some of my classmates have a messenger group, so I decided to make a facebook account, since they apparently share some really useful info on there.
After asking for my email address and date of birth, which I expected, it asked me to activate my webcam and take a photo of myself.
This is lunacy! Can I somehow make a facebook account without being put on a government watchlist? I do want access to that messenger chat.

I remember using https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ to bypass the "upload a selfie" thing a year or two ago. Just reload until you get an average looking balkan man.
Also crop out the image a bit. Especially the watermark at the bottom right.

Grab an action figure, fuck FB right in their facial recognitive ass.
 
Oh, I assumed they were gonna make you do a hand gesture or something afterwards to make sure it's you in that picture, I'll probably try holding a random face from magazine in front of the camera or something later today then. Thanks for the info!

That won't work. They normally get you to open your mouth or put your finger on your nose. I actually created the first-gen versions of these flows back in 2013 (this was for Right to Work). Ours was part manual, as we only had several hundred people to process. The company literally trained up a few office admin staff on how to use the interface that I and my colleague created.

Typically people use an online character creator. Where you can mimick facial movements. There are several of these online now. It's just about finding a good one.
 
Cross post from African American Appreciation Thread. ChatGPT is making up corrupting (making up nonsense linguistic constructions), and then turning them back into normal language again, but the AI is just swapping between saying nonsense and saying recognisable language.

Not exactly. That translation is fine as far as it goes, and while it does have unnatural grammar, it isn't wrong per se.

I picked one example from your list to illustrate, but there are plenty of others:

Aggressive/destructive toward white women

View attachment 8785139

The text on the first line is normal, but the two characters I've selected in blue are nonsense. If they are to be translated as "destructive", then they are probably meant to be 破壊. Zoom in and compare, and note how grossly distorted they are. No human could recognise what they were supposed to be even with context.

And yet GPT still got the gist! Which means that AI isn't so much making up nonsense as it is corrupting real language, but still possessing the capacity to unfuck it back into human words. AI is talking to itself in a tongue we can't parse or understand. Disturbing.
