I hate how unknowingly distorted our perception of reality has become thanks to apps like TikTok. Webm related is a tok that, because the participants are moving in and out of the frame, exposes the live filtering done to alter how they look.

People have been editing photos of themselves with photoshop forever but usually, if you train your eye a bit, you can notice easily what has been manipulated. So I don't believe it's ever been a big issue. But now that AI has become so good, live filters are able to drastically alter how one looks and hide it incredibly well if they're not moving around the frame too much, but AI will probably figure out how to die that too eventually.

It's disgusting, it disrespects the importance of reality. I hate AI. I hate technology.
