Let's talk about Artificial Intelligence

[old man emu]

AI, being a tool, in a similar class to robots, should adhere to the Three Laws of Robotics:

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Too late, OME. 

It looks like those rules have not been embedded in the coding.

 

Modern developers are driven by money, not ethics.

How far does A I go .

Before all us humans are integrated  ( with lots of new body parts ) .

So an " Android " & a Human stand side by side .

One with only their brain left over from the birthed animal. 

the other with a electro-mechanical  brain in a synthetic body .

Is THIS a SERIES?  Don't tell me how it ends then. Nev

It's called "Robo-Spacey"

(Like Kevin Spacey but without the problematic behaviour)

I have just developed my own algorithm for YouTube videos.

 

From now on, my algorithm will prevent me from continuing to watch a video if, within the first 5 seconds, it does not show a real person introducing the topic of the video. After that, if the same person is the voice heard behnd any images etc illustrating points in teh video, the algorithm will allow me to continue watching the video.

I have guidelines too. Ignore anything with INSANE or YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE in the title. Ignore anything with an AI picture in the title.

This chart was referring to USA jobs markets compared to S & P 

 

Quite a trend.

I  wish that you had posted this in the "The End is Nigh" thread. It relates more to that topic. Instead of the curve appearing as a J-curve, it has now become a K-curve. There is a lot to say about what the graph means, but what is said would be best in that other thread. Thanks for posting the graph anyway.

Well, OME, the graph represents important data on Artificial Intelligence. That's why I posted it here.

 

But I do see your point.

 

As yet, I haven't heard how they intend to pay the power bill that all those data centres will run up.

This video is the sort of thing that we should fear from Generative AI. It purports to be a report by a well-known political broadcaster in the USA about immediate impeachment of Trump.

 

Here's what is wrong with it: The video was posted on 15/1/2026. I says that things happened on Friday 9/1/2026 which would result in action being taken in the US House of Representatives in the week beginning 12/1/2026. What is published in this video if true would be earth-shattering and would be dominating news broadcasts. Since nothing like that has happened, then it is clear that the video is made up. Also the person who is allegedly presenting the material normally appears in person in any video. In other words, when you see her in a video, you can tell that you are looking at a real person.

YES It has the Potential to be a disaster in Many ways, for certain. IF things CAN be corrupted SOMEBODY will do it unless suitable steps are taken.  Nev

Not so fast

There have been a number of so-called experts saying on TV that the genie is out of the bottle and there is no winding back the clock.

 

There was a test which showed eight photos of people, some genuine, some AI deep fakes, I only got 50% correct.

 

One of these is real, one is fake. Can you guess which is fake.

 

A.

 

B.

Actually, not so well communicated.

The person whom the video I posted was alleged to be is a well known MSM commentator. I've watched many vidoes in which it is known that the video is not AI created. From those experiences, I was able to pick that it was not her actual personage that was doing the reporting.  Combine that with the obvious falsity of the story let you know that it is AI slop. The woman has had her immage and voice stolen by someone making clickbait.

Photo B. Enlarge it and you can see that the spout is undone and away from the fitting.

[rgmwa]

I was just about to say B but you beat me to it. The spanner placement is also nonsensical.

[red750]

Actually, the document from which they were copied says that A is the fake.

Here is a link, you will have to do the quiz to get their answer,

It's also TOO in focus. Nev

[onetrack]

I only got 33 out of 50 right, in the Kellogg Uni fake images quiz. That's not very reassuring.
