Why Yes This Was Created With AI
I have my thoughts on this and as is typical it's one big contradicting mess of thoughts.
Me, alone creating this picture from one copy/pasted prompt and an uploaded picture, did not put anyone out of work. James Cameron is not cursing the fact that this bust bares a passing resemblence to characters from his Terminator franchise (nor George R Martin for that matter). The processing power used to create this image was less than that used to boil the water for my coffee this morning.
No, this one picture isn't an issue, but once you start to look at how much of the Internet is now being automatically generated, now we have a problem.
Not all AI is spam but most spam is now AI.
AI is being used to generate fake video, fake images, fake messages.
AI is being used to create code which will only be as good, as secure as the prompts have made it.
AI is a tool and yes that tool can be, and is being used for good but at the moment it's mainly being used to spread missinformation and scams.
As some governments are looking to replace green power generation, going back to fosil fuels, the increase load that all this junk is adding is having a direct impact on our environment, whether you deny climate change or not.
The Terminator doesn't need battle man kind, we're doing a pretty good job of wiping ourselves out.
Picture AI, text most certainly not.
