Spot the AI-generated material

[countessalmirena]

Have you heard or seen AI stuff being used around you, to you, on you?

If you suspect you’ve spotted AI material in action, or know you have, post it here.

I’d like to kick things off by mentioning the new Bankwest TV ad. That voice-over is sending AI vibes to me. Has anyone here noticed the same thing?

If you use Chrome to ask a question e.g. does cash mean money, you get an AI response. Chrome confirms it is an AI response. It is fast and helpful. But sometimes the answer is wrong because it has interpreted the content of the question, but not the context. This largely happens when the question is a bit abstract and may be interpreted in different ways. However, AI is limited in it's ability to do that and some of the replies can be quite humorous and naive, like a child.

Ethical considerations include use of copyright material and works with IP being used without permission or reimbursement, as training for AI. This is insult to injury - IP being abused in order to further the scientist’s, the artist’s, the performer’s, etc. future ability to produce, be given grants, be offered opportunities. The instrument of our limited opportunities is our own intelligence.

Also… AI has inherent biases based on the very proliferation of material presented in purely artificial constructs. These biases are difficult to suspect, let alone prove.

That’s just the tip of the Titanic-killer.

I am so sick of ‘fact checking’…. it makes you wonder what is true/real/worth my time…

Understood - but - AI is simply not the only response one gets.

One can scroll the page - Dictionaries - Wicki - etc etc etc.

Having already stated ' I totally understand where you are coming from ' - I was questioning the opening post.

Not sure there is anything ' unethical ' in a voice-over in a TV ad.

"Understood - but - AI is simply not the only response one gets.

Yes exactly. But who do you believe when the information in a dictionary is exactly the opposite to the AI information? Do we choose the AI advice, or the advice provided by e.g. Oxford, Collins or Cambridge dictionaries?

[domino-710]

Dictionaries - all the way.

AI is only as good as the info programmed into it - ie algorithm.

I actually hate it but do understand it can be of help in - many - many areas.

Just not those that involve emotion.

And as far as using AI - there is always the opportunity of a ' second opinion '.

Don't just take anyone's word for anything.

[countessalmirena]

It worries me when people do take AI’s word for it… and so many people who aren’t necessarily tech-savvy are fooled by deepfake AI-generated videos that look as though a famous and trusted person is endorsing something.

Another example of AI (but not in plain sight) - bank data breaches with mid-level hackers (not tech geniuses themselves) using AI to generate malicious code instead of creating/designing it themselves. Entry level hackers suddenly don’t need to be very clever because AI is proliferating in the scammer and hacker worlds.

Oh come on Countess.

How often have you replied to posts here - where there has been - to some - an obvious scam - to those who don't  ' know ' - have given details etc etc

How often have you commented on don't ' go there '.

Some are going to be scammed - some are going to be hacked - simply because - well - just hit on cheap le creuset for example.

This is how they make their money - this is how they operate - and have done for years.

It is up to the idividual to safeguard themselves.

AI is here - be aware.
