I’ll believe it when AI can make my ex-wife into Cheryl Tiegs.
Wouldn’t it be great if society went back to face-to-face business deals where actually knowing someone as a trustworthy person mattered? You could make a deal with a handshake because faceless, soulless corporations were replaced by small local institutions that cared about both employees and customers?
But then profits would suffer and we couldn’t accumulate as much precious “stuff”.
Staybm away from questionable websites to reduce your exposure.
Solution: Blockchain verification of identity?
We heard it from Bill Gates: Our cattle tattoos are coming right up!
Yes. Get ready for your bank accounts and broker accounts emptied out. But AI can never change my flat tire on road trip.
The internet is going to be full of even more garbage than usual
Skepticism in all things.
Trust but verify, as it was advised.
OpenAI gives me FTX 2.0 vibes, just sayin.
“Vibe Coders” will be the death of us.
Chase Bank asked me last week if I wanted to use voice identification. I said no thanks
I think it’s Trouble - spelled with a capital “T” that rhymes with ????? In any case, it’s TROUBLE!
The real danger is with political stuff close to an election, where fake, AI-generated "video" of a candidate saying something politically damaging starts making the rounds. Or other fake-AI people saying they saw/heard the candidate doing something politically damaging.
After the fact lawsuits for defamation or whatever that wouldn't be resolved before the election to provide clarity don't address that problem. Just a really dangerous phenomenon in a republic.
“Playing with fire” might be another way of putting it.
I avoid AI like I avoid Facebook.
The present standard anti-fraud protection is to send a code by cell phone. It works, unless someone steals the cell phone.
He just figured this out? He’s on the ball.
This is becoming very obvious.
A few weeks ago I asked ChatGPT “how many seconds of voice sample” is needed to construct a good enough model to fool most Voice ID schemes? The answer that came back was “3 to 5 seconds,” although there are countermeasures that can be taken to make voice fakingmore difficult. So, the obvious conclusion is that you can’t talk to anyone, and you’ve got to use a synthesized voice answering message as this unfolds. Your very simple “Not here, leave a message at the beep” could become a part of identity theft.
So, yesterday I had another idea. Someone will start licensing the vocal tract models of popular actors and singers. Want ChatGPT (or the others) to talk to you like your favorite hot actor/actress? There will be voice model available for that. Actors and singers will have their vocal tract parameters copyrighted (why give it away for free?).
Well, I do enjoy the adults-made-into-babies AI thingies. The new one of Trump, Powell, and Tim Scott on the Fed construction site is hilarious.
Other than that, AI mostly scares me.
Able to imitate not only the voice but even the likeness of others.
No need for AI liberlals do that all the time.
They all look and sound alike all the time.
“Fraud crisis”? AI is the fraud.
