AI Slop, Advertising and Visual Literacy

Or, to put it another way, any dreams of machines working while they pay for everyone else are short sighted.
What is necessary, at this point, is a recognition that none of the current political systems are fit for purpose in a world where wealth is being concentrated in a tiny minority.

I think that social systems across the "developed" world will be the first to collapse, as inequality starts to destroy democracy. This is what happened in Europe during the the first quarter of the 20th century and we know all too well what happened next. What is needed is a new political clarity which puts the majority of people first at all times and stops regarding great wealth as anything other than great greed and contempt for the majority
 
If it provides a service that people pay for them it should be possible to tax the service sold here because they're doing business in the UK.
As I mentioned in another post, I was being ironic, but I suspect we will become so dependent on AI that AI providers will dictate the taxes they pay, and not the government deciding on the taxes needed to give everyone a basic income.

It seems the wealthy can never be wealthy enough. That is almost certainly unfair to many wealthy people, but that is how it seems.
 
Knowing how to question is a big part of managing their output too.

Absolutely.

If your google-fu is strong and you're used to asking precise questions and giving all relevant info, it's great. Every response should be pressed, questioned, and confirmed. It is a conversation, not a question>answer machine.
 
Slightly off-topic since it's not exactly about photography per-se: but in case anyone would like to read all those horror stories on Artificial Idiots in general that mainstream media refused to air, in the satiring+lampooning way; see this news blog:

 
Look out for humans deliberately introducing 'flaws' into their work to differentiate it.
Very easy to inject same request into ai prompt. I see a lot of mobile or security cam style ai footage on social these days. Crappy and low iq is definitely not equal to authentic no matter what some f*****g influencer might be preaching
 
Amusingly.. it's industries like law which are likely to be most affected by AI. Specialist AI models, not genAI stuff. A lot of law is about recalling & synthesising huge quantities of facts & arguments. Convolutional Neural Networks are really good at that stuff.
Law and current primary level nhs are two examples i would be more than happy to see overtaken by ai
