Comment on Wallace & Gromit fans appalled by the AI upscaling on new 4K UHD release
kitnaht@lemmy.world 1 day agoI’m also kinda skeptical that this stuff has as many applications as are being touted.
These models can do a LOT of different things. If you don’t see that, that’s an education problem, not an AI problem.
And combining these capabilities in new and unique ways are only going to make things even more wild. It won’t be very long at all before my “Ummmmm, I’ll have aaaaaaaaa” order at McDonalds doesn’t need to be taken by a human being and there’s just a single dude in the back running the whole place.

McDonalds canned their automated ordering experiment, and that was across 100 stores and lasted several years.
I am not convinced this replaces labor. Like any advancement in hardware or software, it can expand the efficiency of labor. But you still need people to do work. People who own things for a living would really really like that not to be the case - their interest in this is not rational decision-making, but deluded optimism.
