AI Artificial Intelligence

If it's not already the case, soon there will be nothing in terms of audio and even visual output that can't be faked.

The importance of teaching people to be critically literate and especially, critically digitally literate, is immense.

Here's the British financial advisor Martin Lewis commenting on a deepfake video of him praising some Bitcoin scam or something.

Hard to see how at least some people wouldn't be taken in by stuff like this.

I dunno it's very possible. Already have AI being used in the military, so isn't too off the wall where you get errors and AI does things it shouldn't, and then when we start getting into actual AI instead of what most people see it as now, could get a lot worse

Internet has been around for close to 30 years in it's modern form and politicians still haven't caught up. You're naive if you think they will here

It was a joke about the possibility of a deep-fake Lewis explaining how its likeness was used to deceive. And the real Lewis posting on twitter that it wasn't him in the clip linked.

What annoys me, is that we're in a sort of limbo at the moment, where I cant genuinely tell whether articles have been written by AI or a real person. Part of this is due to (what I perceive as) a decline in writing standards, but it definitely feels like half the stuff that pops up on my phones feed - particularly stuff from sites like gizmodo, destructoid, screenrant, etc has been written by AI.

its two sides of a coin, in one sense, its similar to someone poring over library books, taking info, and presenting it with their own take on it, but that presentation was identifiable by things like their turn of phrase, pacing, the way they make comparisons, etc.

these days, so much content is vapid muck, thats (in all likelihood) mathematically put together in such a way as to drive clicks and generate engagement, yet the articles themselves all follow similar structures, touch on similar beats, and have meandering paragraphs of mostly irrelevant waffle in the middle, and I cant decide if its just poor journalism or the limitations of AI.

Sarah Silverman sues Chat GPT for breach of copyright

This is the first serious law suit as far as I can see against Chat GPT. And could open the door to a heap of other legal repercussions. Since things like Chat GPT went live, ISP's and hosting services have noticed that there is huge increase in traffic across the web. And it's being attributed to things like Chat GPT scraping off info from every single web page is has access to.

There is a very good chance Chat GPT or similar has scraped off every bit of personal info it can find about you on the web and it has the ability to correlate is all together.

It 100% needs to be regulated and also limited in what it can do by the ISP's such as Virgin, Vodafone, Sky and Eir and what not.

So for example, any IP attempting access +100 .ie websites in less than a minute should be blocked. (As a VERY rough example)
