100% agree with this. Generative AI technology will absolutely transform the way people consume and share information. It will cause fundamental shifts in the workplace, and not all in ways we can predict. But don’t expect it all to happen this year or next!
Transformative technologies take time to work their way through society (and the economy). They always have.

Fan Fiction has been around for a long time, but it mostly in the form of books since producing a short film or series requires a whole production. What Corridor Crew has been doing to combine VFX and generative AI shows there really could be fan-made short films which are really good. I'd love to see bars from all over the world transformed into Star Wars bars with ships going through the sky along with blasters and light sabers. Bring together some cosplayers with some amateur film makers and you could really create something fun.

Using and LLMs for unfiltered and unsupervised one-to-many and tactics for content feels downright dangerous. That may change over time, but for now, pay attention to brand missteps with AI when it's given free rein to produce content for customers. Explore AI, but protect your by using AI cautiously for now. Three examples🧵 :

Die „New York Times“ hat ihre Nutzungsbedingungen aktualisiert. Seit dem 3. August ist dort nun zu lesen, dass die Inhalte, welche die Zeitung ihren Lesern zur Verfügung stellt, also Texte, Bilder, Videos, nicht verwendet werden dürfen, um Künstliche Intelligenzen zu füttern.
Damit wehrt sich die Zeitung gegen den Zugriff großer Techkonzerne wie Microsoft oder Google, berichtet die (€).
Wird das ein neuer Trend und ziehen andere Institutionen nach?

When considering some 'AI' tool, ask "Is this actually just a bias reinforcement engine?"

If the answer is "yes" or "probably", run away.

Predicting plausible arrangements of tokens is easy.

While #genAI firms are being faced with criticism for their models containing detailed personal data about individuals, and thinking of how to mitigate this, UK intelligence #SIGINT agencies (e.g. #GCHQ) are seeking powers to effectively lower their oversight in building models precisely to be able to draw unstructured data into personal data about people, claiming that AI firms can do it (whether or not legally!) but they can't https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/aug/01/uk-intelligence-spy-agencies-relax-burdensome-laws-ai-data-bpds?CMP=share_btn_tw #IPA16

a great piece by Joseph Gordon-Levitt on how we might start thinking about IP and residuals in the world of AI-generated content.

I think the hard bit is possibly not the tracking of training data through the generative process (hand-waving some deep technical problems) as much as it is the funnel of attribution and payment. tracking this, maintaining it, is a whole other scale of organisational complexity.

HOW TO SPOT A DEEP FAKE:

  1. You can't.

Don't think you can. You can spot clumsy ones, but you've already missed a dozen others. We're past the stage where even expert practitioners can have a 100% success rate.

Instead, think about how to avoid taking action, or trusting someone, because of who they seem to be. Holding onto the fantasy that "I can spot 'em!" is harmful, and moves the onus of responsibility from collective to personal.

This is also true for , of course.

Generative AI bias can be substantially worse than in society at large. One example: “Women made up a tiny fraction of the images generated for the keyword ‘judge’ — about 3% — when in reality 34% of US judges are women . . . .In the Stable Diffusion results, women were not only underrepresented in high-paying occupations, they were also overrepresented in low-paying ones.”

Hot take: quite incredible in how it went under the radar for many is that the and hype steered a massive tailwind for all the lowcode and nocode tools and startups

AI just doesn't "mirror" societal biases, it amplifies them.

Generative AI puts afterburners on the whole issue.

Don't take my word for it, just look at this investigation on how Stable Diffusion’s text-to-image model amplifies stereotypes about race and gender.

New GenAI Goofin'.

Finally got the time to get Photoshop's plugged in, and it's neat. It's using Stability.ai as the backend, which makes for some decent but poorly LoRA'd results.

It is extremely handy to have this embedded so I can call up textures, or even work compositionally to include generative results in places and areas I choose.

This story has less to do with Google and more to do with the missuse of and people having no clue how to optimize their ecommerce store properly for search. Most, if not all, of the "SEO" examples described in the article are broadly ineffectual. Also, there's nothing different today than there was a decade ago. There's thousands of businesses vying for visibility on a tiny amount of (screen) real estate. There will always be a large swath of losers, like IRL.

@optimisey it definitely has the same Google ruined everything trope sentiment, but it's really just people having no idea what they're doing. The article is fine, and I'm glad they're pointing out the yet another missuse of , where humans refuse to think and just trust the unthinking autocomplete code to do the thinking for them.
