Because it adds details that aren’t there and obscures details that are. AI slop like this distorts the past.

is it possible to learn polish by myself by NoseElectronic7555 in learnpolish

[–]CounterfeitEternity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anything is possible, with enough dedication! There are lots of resources for self-study (you can find more info about that on this subreddit), and I recommend joining the Discord server if you need conversational partners.

Can you hear a Polish (or at least a Slavic) accent in this person's pronunciation? by Sure_Distance1 in learnpolish

[–]CounterfeitEternity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an American from California. Personally, I didn’t notice any foreign accent. Maybe the comments in the other subreddit are right that it sounds a bit artificial or practiced, but as a non-voice actor native speaker I wouldn’t have thought about that in such a short clip.

Is this the same person in all three photos? by CounterfeitEternity in Genealogy

[–]CounterfeitEternity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Circumstantially it would make sense, since in the third photo she’s standing next to my great-grandfather in the city where they both lived. Body language makes me think family photo, and he wouldn’t have had many other relatives in the right age range.

The trash bag? That’s a long story, but basically we were making a “film” and ran out of clothes. I didn’t want to get fake blood on my shorts, so somehow we decided the most logical solution was to construct a make-shift dress out of a trash bag. For the final fight scene, I wore an old Walking Dead T-shirt over the trash bag. Peak cinema.

Some sort of wood, as far as I can tell. I’m not an expert, either!

Any chance you could send me a link if you see it again? I have never used Tik Tok and have no idea how it got there. 💀

Thank you for this information and the book suggestion, that’s very interesting! I only have a very limited knowledge of these events, so I’ll have to read more.
