Bad AI in the wild thread

In this video the '25 year old' seems to have taken her dentures out, and the '35 year olds' are apparent 82. I wonder of it's because sometimes AI receives the word old in '28 years old' and just takes it to mean 'old person'?

 
Someone I know on FB shared this video:

I felt I had to point out that the dog and eagle keep changing proportion and appearance and that at one point there is a dog/eagle hybrid creature. Oh God, this is going to be the next AI thing isn't it ?'Look at these two animals who are friends, wow!' complete with freaky hybrid animals creeping in there.
 
Well, it was recorded so who knows. Could have been AI generated :)

It was someone walking around the Google office using their phone camera, asking the AI to identify something which makes a noise, when it highlights a speaker on the desk, they ask it what the smaller round part is called, which it identifies as a tweeter and goes on to describe what it does.
Then went to the window and asked it what neighbourhood it thought they were in, from the view - which it identified as Kings Cross - though obviously it could have used location services for that. Did some other stuff, identifying crayons, making an aliteration about them, then asking where their glasses were, which where correctly located on a desk next to a red apple.
For the avoidance of doubt, and for the record, it turned out that the Gemini demo had indeed been faked. Gemini is claimed to be able to do the things shown but not in real time and only after careful and iterative prompts. The demo was a ‘representation’ of that process as if it were happening via ambiguous one-liner prompts in real time.

Another example was the "game generation" shown by EA in their investors' call yesterday.

He even says it at the start "concept video that stitches together our most exciting experiments". E.g. This doesn't exist and this video isn't real.


Quite apart from the end result being awful unimaginative slop anyway.

Which demo, there’s more than one? The one linked is not the one I saw.
 
There is a new AI overview thing that keeps popping up at the top of my Google search results. It can get to fuck. I searched for tide times for Saturday and it is two hours out. When I searched a couple of days ago it was over three hours out and had both the days high waters exactly 12 hours apart.
 
This is the one I saw - Project Astra

Sorry, I meant the “hands on with Gemini” video. That “our vision for the future” video doesn’t even claim to be real. It is quite explicit that it is their vision for what it might look like in the future.

I like the backing track. Can’t get Shazam to ID it for me.
 
I know it's my own fault for going on Facebook and the engaging with the weird shit I see out of a sense of morbid fascination. But, like cloo my timeline often fills up with with AI generated rubbish from lots of puppet groups along very specific themes.

In recent months I've had spells of

Very old people with their 'home made birthday cakes'.
Injured soldiers
Very odd images that usually contain elements of imagery from Jesus, Floods hospitals and coach/air travel (all combined).
Children and things they have supposedly made.

At the moment it's made up photos of 'England' that claim to be specific towns in the Cotswolds but clearly aren't

There's a big crossover between this tripe and the weaponised nostalgia Facebook sphere (which also contains real people and photos of old towns - but always descend into the worst kind of rose -tinted 'fings ain't what they used to be' nostalgia and often downright racism.

I can see why people (Russia) think it's worth stirring that shit up as it adds to the general 'country gone to the dogs' vibes that populists will then trade off.

But I can't understand the other stuff. Is it just engagement for cash? Or some kind of bait and switch where the groups harvest boomer engagement for pets or cakes or whatever then switch to something more sinister?

I took this to indicate that it is “real”

I've had accounts called things like 'I love London' sharing bullshit AI images of futuristic buses or supposed aerial views of the Tower of London, only it's in the wrong place and it's just the outer walls with no white keep or interior buildings.
 
It found something similar using the same riff.
Dreaming by DJ Dado (rail).

Did they both rob it from something else? 🤷‍♂️
Yes. I have noticed this whilst clubbing recently. The DJs will play music that cops the sounds you think you know, and assembles it into something that has no rhythm. The kids don’t mind, they are all on alcopops and K.
It triggers me though

Ah ok yeah that's a classic trope. Central London all in the wrong places, sometimes utopian, sometimes dystopian (with all the usual anti-khan ulez 15 minute city bullshit)
 

The author describes this:

Thusly:

Ideogram is the only one that got it pretty much spot on. It rendered Penny Lane and provided a newspaper with a woman holding it. Its visual isn't as atmospheric as Midjourney but the scene structure is better.

The fucking plonker.
 
I tend to put YouTube chilled music videos on as audio wallpaper when I'm working but I've noticed AI ones are starting to pop up. You can tell because while AI knows roughly what it sounds like, it doesn't know what types of sounds are annoying, so you can tell because it will have things like a high-pitched 'chk-chk-chk' sound in the beat that is really grating, and/or loops that aren't quite right, like it's not a complete musical phrase or the melody is just random notes that don't make a melodic sequence. Some of the accounts are labelled as artificially generated, but others clearly are, only they're not admitting it.
