Comment on Nine digitally altered female MP into 'more revealing' outfit
mozz@mbin.grits.dev 9 months agoWell, that's a pretty silly statement. Saying it's impossible for this technology to be useful or a good thing, is just silly as if someone else said it's inevitable that it'll be a good thing.
The chicken pox vaccine didn't solve war in the middle east, but I'd still argue that it's clearly good that it happened. Same for AI; it can be good without needing to clear this insanely high bar you seem to feel is necessary for it to prove its usefulness.
For what it's worth, though, the part I'll agree with you on is that people will misuse the technology in ways to scam others out of money, or to make the world a worse place, maybe so much so that it eclipses any good that comes out of it. I'm just saying that's a choice they're making, not something inherent in the technology itself.

It's the complete abrogation of human values to a system that is being presented as being the saviour of everything that really pisses me off.
Going back to the original thread... the sum total of all of that effort in coding, training, power consumption and hardware has been to...
produce a picture of a female Australian politician with bigger tits...
coz that's what the techbro built model/configuration/metadata said.
Complete. Waste. Of. Time.
