On this news of the United flight slipping off the runway at IAH, must queue up this song:

Paul Simon - Slip Slidin' Away

"Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination

People overestimate what "AI" of today is and what it can actually do, because memes are spreading that describe any machine-assisted process in a highly glossed-over form, ignoring the required human effort to make it work.

The naive impression is that you just gave some generative engine a prompt and the result came out fully formed, when the actual process is that the people behind the project used multiple purpose-built engines, for each of the engines they iterated on prompts that would output something semi-coherent, and then they used human efforts to tie the result together.

This is currently spreading as "this AI-generated pizza commercial" with no further explanation, but Tom's Hardware interviewed the actual people who made it work:

A while ago, but finally made some time for a quick tour round where I live. A combination of safari and nice pittoreske villages at the water :-) So much to see, even though weather was not super.

Still wondering if my is good enough or if pappa should get a / . Don’t want to test them, afraid I’ll like the power.
