Not cold season alone, for fuck sake. Seasonal allergies, the whole lot. And the big spike you’re seeing is because you failed to zoom and actually look at the last 6 months.

End of May, beginning of June there were a lot of searches, then it died down. I’m all for conspiracy theories, but at least take the time to apply a tiny bit of logic.

It seems you’ve discovered a real correlation here!

… it’s called “cold season” for a reason, and lots of people will be searching for common ailments at the same time.

The times it is pretty obvious, it is pretty obvious. Those are not all of the times.

Yes. Because a test that give you the same fucking pictures every time you load them would mean you click through once quickly to get all the right answers, then restart and show us you really are 100% perfect.

Going to go ahead and block you now. Better luck in your future endeavors, Captain Psychic Wizard AI/Lie detecting witch hunter.

Here ya go. I’m sure you’ll lie if you ever bother replying, but there’s zero fucking chance you’re a magic AI detector.

The real answer is that there isn’t always any way to tell if an image is AI generated, and as time passes while there may always be tells for poorly done images the percentage of generated images displaying those tells will continue to rapidly shrink.

You can only find signs an image was AI generated in images that display those signs. That doesn’t mean you’re weeding them all out, or even 1% of them.

Even if you spend a month looking at every tiny detail of an image, unless you physically witnessed it’s creation or it’s something with known provenance (i.e. the Mona Lisa) you can never say for certain that it is not AI generated.

… You seem to be assuming Google search frequencies are the only reasonable metric to measure the increase of a thing in the world.

But it really doesn’t.

You could replace number of data centers with total number of Taylor Swift songs released and get that same idea. Taylor Swift music existing causes dizziness, and it must be stopped.

Or you could replace number of data centers with “Sean Connery alive?” and decide dizziness has been going up since he died. He was somehow guarding the world against becoming dizzy, and we lost that protection when he passed. :/

Putting two random things on a chart like this doesn’t actually show or imply anything, other than that the person who made it likely wants you to believe there’s some kind of connection.

Holy shit, dizziness causes data centers?!

I think I read on a lemmy post the other day that archive.is… kills babies? I don’t remember what it was, but that they’re bad and shouldn’t be used because of the badness.
