Since it is October, that time of year when shadows wander unfettered and unknown things go bump in the night, I thought I'd touch on something frightening: AI.
AI is becoming more and more problematic. It's getting increasingly difficult to identify what is AI and what isn't.
This is true for photos, art, music, news, advertising, etc. Now the discerning eye can still identify AI, but eventually, the way it's improving, you won't be able to tell one from the other.
I spent some time having a discussion the other day with Google's GEMINI AI.
The AI attempted to dispense a fair amount of opinionated nonsense as cold hard facts. Each time, I would call it out on it, and eventually, every time, GEMINI would admit it was untrue, biased info, and it would apologize. When the AI is actually admitting this when pressed...well, what does that tell you? That old adage holds true: "Garbage in, garbage out."
A large problem is the "facts" provided by AI are procured from biased sources that align with its developers and aren't necessarily facts. During the extent of our "discussion" GEMINI would always eventually admit that what it was initially giving me as irrefutable facts, were no such thing.
In the words of CCR: I see a bad moon arising. I see trouble on the way.
The Halloween picture is of course created by me via AI prompts, and the accompanying song is also completely AI.
Be careful out there boys and girls, ghouls and goblins.
I'm off to retrieve my tinfoil hat.
