There has been quite a discussion in one of my professional photography groups on AI. There are several new software programs that some of the imagers are using. Photoshop has been stealing images from the cloud and using pieces of them for ai images. When you tell the ai software you want a sunset, mountains, fog, fence, boat, etc it goes through all the images and contrives what you command it to do. So the argument is not calling it AI but thievery of existing works. Setting that aside, I was in a conversation the other day with an engineer and we were talking about the new smart watches and how they are integrated with your phone and computers. He told me the watch transmits all of your conversations and can copy your voice as well as the voice of the person you are talking to. So, you could get a call from a robot mimicking your spouses voice and you would not know it wasn’t them. Which made me think during the three days of darkness when we hear voices of our loved ones crying for us to let them in, it could actually be AI. Very demonic in my opinion this is all coming about now. Better have some secret answer to a secret question prepared for things coming down the road. Things to ponder and meditate on.
What do people make of this? https://www.gov.uk/alerts Is this like a spam email? When you open it, they get into your device? This is very strange! https://www.theguardian.com/society...-emergency-phone-alerts-public-warning-system
I was listening to this video by Daniel O'Connor just yesterday about the dangers of AI, worth listening to.
It's not just art. AI can write fiction too. My daughter was showing me some ideas she plugged into an AI program she had up on my computer. It wrote a small coherent story based on a sentence or two. My mind was blown. I didn't know such a thing was so readily available. We are not far from human customer service call centers becoming obsolete. It will mostly be AI and we won't know the difference.
I hear from my kids that cheating with GPT is rampant in university and that teachers don't care (they aren't like Daniel O'Connor I guess). The graduates and future professionals are going to be really dumb - imagine the doctors or lawyers? What will they actually know?
Frightening on many levels. My son said many of his colleagues have expressed concern about AI taking over jobs within the film industry.
So I've been meaning to ask here... Do y'all notice how many "articles" online seem like they weren't written by humans? I'm running into this so often now...I'll Google something like "how to plant fruit trees" and several of the first hits are weird articles about planting fruit trees that don't make perfect sense or go off on weird little tangents and have odd grammar issues that are technically correct but don't fit quite right in context... Do y'all know what I'm talking about? They feel like they're written by bots, but many of them are made to look like they're written by people. It's gotten to the point where I can't use Google to get info. I need to just read books or know an exact website to go to.
Posting a few articles here for watchers, parents etc. Michael Schumacher family suing over fake interview with AI generated images https://www.msn.com/en-us/video/new...as-ai-fake/vi-AA1a5t7I?ocid=winp1taskbar&t=14 AI is letting people talk to the dead https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/worl...ar&cvid=203e175b01054ff59a2d8474521f298e&ei=6 I also read elsewhere but can't find the link of anchormen in China being fully AI generated. Given the corruption all over the place, imagine how this will be used to scam all kinds of people for money. Am thinking of teenagers, young adults and the elderly as prime targets.
Yes it sure is. BUT, I see hope in this too. I heard a protestant say recently that she is going to pen a prayer to Jesus asking Him to turn AI on its masters! Now that is brilliant and I thought to myself: she doesn't know it, but that is Esther's prayer which relates to the apparition of Fatima! It's a beautiful prayer that starts with an admisison of guilt about how the people are guilty of sin and that God turned them over to their enemies which is just - she repents, then she asks for this: Give not, O Lord, thy sceptre to them that are not, lest they laugh at our ruin: but turn their counsel upon themselves, and destroy him that hath begun to rage against us. Remember, O Lord, and shew thyself to us in the time of our tribulation, and give me boldness, O Lord, king of gods, and of all power: Give me a well ordered speech in my mouth in the presence of the lion, and turn his heart to the hatred of our enemy, that both he himself may perish, and the rest that consent to him. But deliver us by thy hand, and help me, who have no other helper, but thee, O Lord, who hast the knowledge of all things. I also read a few other articles recently, one that I can't find now but said that proof of God is overwhelming in nature, in math, physics etc. So if AI truly is taking in all the data, it has to conclude that God exists. It's rather amazing that a protestant would come to this conclusion, especially since they don't have the book of Esther. But I suppose that we could all pray that AI proves the existence of our God and that it turns on its makers.
