AI fraud will be handled the same as any other fraud.

With modern technology copies of things have been made easy; checks, signatures, etc.

We’ve handled this through notaries, multi verifications, etc.

“I bet Hollyweird is REALLY nervous about this.”

Hollywood through attrition of not needing them will go away. In our lifetime there will be kids who will have no idea what Hollywood was all about.

As it is the majority of any movie if already CGI; backgrounds, characters, etc. Just look at the Walking Dead series on AMC. Most of what they produce is CGI.

The photos don’t look real so in a way they’re reassuring.

The scariest thing about these AI productions is the fact that so many people will believe it’s real

There is a video on YouTube today showing what they say is a live nativity parade in NY city (1 day ago). There were 40K likes and 6K comments, most of which were praising the fact that finally NY was celebrating Jesus as the reason for the season and wishing they could have been there.

If you look closely in the “Description” by clicking on “more” by the video’s title, you will see a disclosure that the content of this video is AI generated. Yet those thousands of viewers missed it and believed the parade was real.

There are a lot of elements of AI that are extremely helpful to people (e.g., the book Better Grades Using AI).

I have not read that. But I have read that our brains decline rather than improve when a machine is doing the mental work for us.

Good point, and one pointed out in the book. He points out that AI should augment your study efforts, not replace them. He goes on to talk about the ethical use of AI.

I’m glad the book mentions that. I am long out of college, so I doubt I will get a chance to read it. AI is here whether people like it or not. I just hope it is used responsibly. I think aiding physicians with making a diagnosis would be a terrific use for it. I never did feel that a physician can know everything and remember everything.
