"I told him that algorithms are, without prompting from their human designers or the owners of the photos, creating human moments that never existed."

I'm not sure how anyone could make the argument that this occurred without prompting from their human designers.

This seems to be a continuation of a theme, where AI academics and theorists are so divorced from the realities of present-day engineering that they assume we're much closer to singularity than we are. I spend so much time making things display in the correct order.



"Smile!" is one config file away from putting his head on her body. It might be hilarious, but it's not AI.

I don't think its necessarily a question of how close we are to the singularity. I think it's a question of how close we are to the Orwellian Memory Hole.


But that was inspired by Stalin's photo manipulations, so it's not a question of "how close", we effectively already live in that world.


Stalin's oppression took quite a lot of man-hours.
