My concerns are with militarized AI. Also, social media AI. Common sense breaks down on social media. Just read about the conspiracies around Taylor Swift, or the idiots that believe that JFK jr is still alive, or…
Common sense is in short supply globally. It’s probably the pandemic that caused the shortfall. Any time now, China will restart up their common sense factories. We can expect new shipments by the fall at the latest. Just in time for the ramp up to the elections.


I'm glad you reminded me of that. I'll have a separate post: AI and the Military

Manipulating an image...? My Better Half spends time before the mirror applying her makeup each time we go somewhere. Could this be considered "Post Processing?" 😁

As much as I dislike seeing AI generated images, being from a career in IT I thought I'd direct some funds specifically to the core technology company benefactors of AI and ride that financial wave for a while. It's a wild ride today after NVIDIA's quarterly results were released yesterday.

Agreed, 100%! I won’t deny that AI is can be useful in some areas, but photo generating/manipulating aspect is totally disgusting

You've probably been around longer that "artificial intelligence," and less time than politics. You should know to never believe anything until you have verified it yourself.

Re: A I
Seems that the media has been enjoying the likes of the A I capabilities, when they can completely change the context of a person that they are presenting on their news channels, or even in the news paper.

About a year ago, CBS broadcast a TV series, (Blue Bloods) dedicated to the fact that AI Media, can "dub in" voice and visual videos, that can present a person's commentary or announcement, in such a way as to completely make a fake news report. And no one can detect it at the time.

Only thru computer research and investigation, can the "fake" broadcast be found out.

For these reasons, I have never displayed a photograph or video of myself, or family members on the "Internet".
The fears of scammers, and fake manipulation while using A.I.

It's a sad day, when your photographs can be manipulated into "Fakery" for the amusement of a few jerks and destruction of one's character, without you even knowing it.

I hope people will take it as a lesson and hold off on using family photos or likenesses on the Net.

Better to be a little cautious, than sorry the next day.

AI, like most good ideas will result in less humans working. It's why "they" think these things up; to cut costs by layoffs and firings.

Yes, It will destroy photography and photographers if we let it but will create wonderful renditions. Recently I saw a photo of a beautiful young lady with two (2) sets of Boobs, one in the front and one in the back. My only question is is there one or two sets of fasteners to unhook to get them out of their bra?

It opens new opportunities to (virtual) clothing and fashion designers.

But while extra boobs (or at least nipples) are rare, they are not unheard of in nature. They usually occur below the normal location on the front. Were they to show up on the back, I would think that there would be a need for extra arms as well, articulated to hold a child on the back. (Not to mention eyes on the back of the head).

The illusion is that we are going to control it...not going to happen...it's not just 'one' AI.

As for photography...make some space for video's and even drone footage.

AI can now do 1 minute video, and drone footage...just by text.

It's...over.
