AI has substance that crypto does not but is being pushed by the crypto idiots so it gives the illusion that AI is as pointless/wasteful as crypto.

I have found a single thing I like ai for:

my dentist's office gave me a new toothbrush that's tied to an ai that monitors your brushing habits and can give helpful suggestions.

It's a really good idea, and a good use of a pattern- detecting technology, even if I'm certain the app is stealing data like a bandit.

Personally, though, I'm still iffy on it being used for diagnostics. One of the big drives forward for the tech was medical in nature- scientists were training it to detect cancers. But early on, they had the issue of garbage in, garbage out- because it had been trained originally on images of tumors with rulers near them, the machine did what it was told and got really good at weeding through pictures of cancer with rulers.

While we've advanced beyond that, the issue of garbage in, garbage out isn't one that can be divorced from any computer. This wouldn't be an issue if the computer diagnostics were guaranteed to have oversight. Human doctors looking at it can catch issues, and contact the manufacturers if they notice consistent issues. But that's not going to happen. If you look into the history of medical technology, it takes a horrific amount of human suffering and death to force manufacturers to do what's right, and usually only after public outcry.

Not to mention the chronic overwork of medical staff and the push to be ever-faster behind the scenes. Exhausted humans will inevitably opt for simpler options if presented, and not follow up because they're already overwhelmed. If it becomes easier for an exhausted doctor to defer to a machine, then things will be missed, which isn't going to be ok in medicine. The human body is an inconsistent shitshow, and even the placement of organs can be general at best. My own appendix was in the wrong place, and my wisdom teeth are coming in goddamned sideways. The dataset necessary to prepare an ai for the endless weird ways our bodies can gently caress us is staggering, and perhaps impossible to adequately gather.

tl;dr:
An ai that can say "you missed your molars, bro" is a far cry away from one I would trust with my life.

Excuse me excuse me what the gently caress are you talking about? AI = More Sonic Images = A better society. Why the gently caress would you waste that technology on something else?

You haven't really acknowledged that you've seen the lobster. So is it ai? Come on tell me. I don't think is. I also don't think it matters but it matters to you and I want you to say if it is or not. Anyway I don't actually care one way or another about Rothko I just understand why people might not be blown away and I suspect I'd feel the same way if I saw one in person. People in general do not give a poo poo about anything beyond the superficial when it comes to art.

Besides AI is poo poo until it can give me such art as Chili Dog muscle Sonic, and The prince rolling a breast with an erection and other such masterpieces. It'll happen though, the future is looking bright.

Using AI to create fake images in a true crime documentary can be justified for several reasons:

Protecting Privacy and Sensitivity: True crime documentaries often involve real victims and sensitive subject matter. By using AI to generate fake images or composite sketches of suspects, filmmakers can protect the privacy and dignity of individuals involved in the case. This approach allows them to convey the necessary information without exposing real people to potential harm or exploitation.

Preserving Anonymity: In cases where witnesses or informants wish to remain anonymous, AI-generated images can serve as a substitute for real photographs or video footage. By creating fictional representations of key individuals, filmmakers can maintain the confidentiality of sources while still conveying their testimony or insights to the audience.

Enhancing Dramatization and Visualization: True crime documentaries often rely on visual storytelling to engage viewers and convey complex information. AI-generated images can enhance the visual impact of the documentary by providing realistic depictions of crime scenes, suspects, or key events. These images help viewers to visualize the narrative and immerse themselves in the story, enhancing their understanding and emotional engagement.

Facilitating Investigation and Awareness: In some cases, AI-generated images may be used to depict hypothetical scenarios or reenactments based on available evidence. By presenting these images in the documentary, filmmakers can help investigators and the public to understand the dynamics of the crime and consider alternative theories or possibilities. This approach can contribute to ongoing investigations or raise awareness about unsolved cases, potentially leading to new leads or breakthroughs.

Exploring Ethical and Moral Dilemmas: By incorporating AI-generated images into the documentary, filmmakers can prompt viewers to reflect on the ethical and moral implications of emerging technologies. Questions about the reliability of AI-generated evidence, the potential for misuse or manipulation, and the boundaries of truth and fiction can stimulate meaningful discussions and critical thinking among audience members.

In summary, using AI to fake images in a true crime documentary can be justified as a means of protecting privacy, preserving anonymity, enhancing visualization, facilitating investigation, and exploring ethical dilemmas. However, it's essential for filmmakers to approach this technique responsibly and transparently, ensuring that viewers understand the context and purpose of the AI-generated images within the documentary.

That didn't take long at all.

The example that was used in my catechism was wiper fluid/antifreeze at a car accident when someone was clearly dying on the spot.

The idea was it had to be mostly water, and not a bodily fluid, so not blood. I'm sure you could come up with some convoluted emergency situation where pee pee piss was the only possible liquid, but it seems less likely than Gatorade.

I'm an animation designer and a looooot of my industry is currently unemployed after carrying TV and film through Covid. Myself included!

I did a big 'ol rant about it in another thread, but it boils down to this: throughout all of history, all times of excess have been accompanied by patronage to the arts. A sacrifice of wealth for the furthering of art. This is the first time in history, when we have the wealthiest people to ever walk the planet, that we've seen such a wideheld agreement to sacrifice art for furthering wealth.

Last I heard, Disney laid off hundreds of artists and in the same breath sunk 900 million into AI. This isn't done to free artists to to independent work (we need to eat), this is done to spend less while taking more of your money.
