Ditto, a gambling casino advert on tv which has some american comedian Chris something in it. It didn't look right somehow, sitting clothed bone dry in an ice bath? Thought it was AI, but maybe it's just the filling in around him, but just as bad.It is getting worse I am afraid, some of us are now becoming over sensitised to AI images that we reject real pictures when we see them. I was recently caught out on Facebook calling out a picture for being AI because it just did not look right to me, turns out it was genuine
I think Tengu is right, by the time the lazy masses realise that, the books will be gone, digitised libraries only for the rich and even then AI versions will outnumber the real authors/facts.
Who are these lazy masses and why are “we” in any way superior to or differentiated from them?
We are all using AI on a daily basis. There is no distinct wall between “conventional” server networks and networks that employ artificial intelligence.

I think it's just a reference to the effect we have on society at a group rather than an individual level. Not a claim of superiority.
The sort who turned Fifty shades of Grey into a bestseller.
Thats who I am talking about.

Oh you mean the marketeers of large publishing houses! I’ve never met one so I can’t comment.
(Have you read it?)
As the demographic set whom are growing up now , glued to phones and tik-tok , insta and whatever the next big social media type digital is , AI produced video and stories will insidiously filter into what people think is reality.
If you see a Still photo image now that looks suspect - we have an idea and answer - It must have been photoshopped - meaning we recognise that in someway the image has been modified or tampered with and we are looking for tell-tale signs. The more heavily and obvious the juxtaposition between what we expect to see as normal and what is presented provides us an idea if the image has been tampered with.
If manipulated AI video becomes more of a mainstay thing weaving its way into our news stories - if the manipulation and content is extreme - we will learn to recognise and identify it as such - Giant kitten climbing the empire states building - mundane , funny , somewhat harmless because its obvious its for entertainment and not 'real' despite having the fidelity and image quality of something that looks real.
When the changes and manipulation will be as finely executed in digital quality and more key or pivotal in sublime minor ways , changing words , deepfake images , changing a potentially believable narrative is far more an opportunistic option.

Here's an AI ad I don't understand:
It's for an investment platform whose selling point is that you can have your investments track the portfolios of other members, and benefit from their expertise. The ad purports to show some of the other investors on the platform that you could follow, but they're plainly all AI-generated simulacra. What message are they trying to convey? That their platform is full of bots and fake identities?
I totaly agree. There are too many people who have no discernment. I once had a drubbing from someone who had read something in the daily mail, and was totaly convinced the article was true...because it was in the newspaper. I cannot remember now what it was as it was 20 yrs ago..my how time flies... but even though I was able to prove the article wrong on many counts, they still refused to believe me. No ability to discern fact from fiction.
Jeff Taylor on yt has been doing a few vids on ai, and I found it worrying how ai had stroked the ego of the chap he was interviewing. I can see it.
Now, the interviewee was asking about the existence of God, and he got the answer that God is real. Well I'm sure he was seeking affirmative answers and ai gave him the answer he wanted.
I'm not going to say it was the right or wrong answer, I don't need ai or scientific proof for or against, for that sort of question, it was the ego stroking that set me on edge.
Personaly, I'd like to see someone try and get the opposite answer, that would tell us a great deal about ai.
I believe its a manipulation tool. At first it's benign, but eventualy, it will be used for other ends, once trust has been established. You won't see the transition, and will be totaly reliant on it for everything...look at the Internet and how that has invaded every aspect of modern life. Without it, most of society can't function.
Steer well away!
I don't know how to link videos on yt, but have a look for yourself. See if you get the same feeling. I couldn't watch the whole thing, I just got realy creepy vibes from it. I notice there is a new vid out today. I may watch it later to see what hes got to say, but i think ive already decided what i think.

Conversely I know someone who rights code and works for a company developing apps and programs; he uses AI all the time to check lines of code for errors, for it to suggest simpler code structures and to check thousands of lines of code for errors.
Yeah, we have quite a few people at work using it. Can use it to generate boilerplate code as well.
It's also useful for summarising datasets so you don't have to trawl through them manually.
When I started in IT many years ago we were told that validation of data was the most important thing otherwise... Garbage In, Garbage Out...
So it's very important to verify the data beforehand that the models are trained on.

AI works well on structured processes like code seems to struggle with the nuances of human to human interaction.
