ai The Studio Ghibli AI Trend (3/25)

😒 Mehhh ... someone plagiarised a whole LOTR trailer and ran it through three different AI video generators until it looked good enough pass for the output of one of them.

So it's Peter Jackon's live-action LOTR resample as animation, directed by a guy with several AI accounts. In other words, an entirely human creation, with computers being used to do the work of underpaid artists.

AI can be used to cure paralysis and you're still not impressed so I don't expect any sort of multimedia to move the needle for you.
 
The Ghibli trend has overwhelmed the OpenAI servers 🤣

I'm not not impressed by the work of a team of surgeons who claim to have helped a guy walk again using some AI, but (quoting from the article linked in the other thread):
Jia’s team engaged in extensive interdisciplinary collaboration with experts in neurology, neurosurgery, rehabilitation medicine, and radiology to meticulously refine the PoC surgery.
For good measure, they also provided us with a team photo:

Oh, look: humans, humans, humans ... so what exactly did the "AI" do? Very little, by the sounds of it. This is what annoys me with AI evangelists: AI did not cure paralysis, the human doctors and surgeons did, based on the work of other humans; and AI did not direct that copy-photoshop-and-paste version of the LOTR trailer, a human did, based on the work of other humans.

So.... this was impossible without AI, but AI gets no credit. What??

AI is a tool - and humans use tools to accomplish things.
no one thinks AI is sentient or capable of being autonomous.

Person A: Wow rocket technology took us to the moon
Person B: Actually it's people that went to the moon, this is what pisses me off about rocket tech, people give all the credit to the tech but look at the size of the team that organized the moon trip

uhh.... okay.... still wouldn't have happened without rocket tech ? ?
but yes, USA deserves credit for being first to the moon, china deserves credit for being first to cure paralysis, these scientists used the tools expertly to tackle very difficult problems.

You know who else deserves credits?
The computer scientists who have worked for DECADES and DECADES to produce this software.
I have a computer science degree, I started programming when I was 12 years old, that's an enormous part of my background, and it's a bit asinine to completely dismiss an entire lifetime of work from an entire community of scientists, as if AI just fell out of the sky or something.

AI itself **IS** the work of people
