SORA AI Technology Preview: We are Entering a Golden Age of Chaos

[FitzTheRuke]

It's all fun and games until a loved one is featured in viral malicious AI pornography, or a lawmaker gets murdered by a conspiracy nut after a misinformation AI video triggers them hard, or a genocide gets "debunked" by fake AI videos, or a criminal muddies the waters of an investigation by producing AI videos of other people committing the same crimes in the same location.

But to prevent these actions (purely theoretical, but quite probable all the same), do you propose we never pursue AI? Is it AI's "fault" that humans can be monstrous?

I think the mistake lies in attributing these kinds of crimes to the existence of AI, when every one of them has been committed long prior to the rise of the current generative algorithms. People have been faking photography, audio recordings and video since those were invented. That is precisely what I mean when i say it isn't the tech, it's us.

It's a big extreme leap to make it a yes or no question when there may be infinite potential ways to make rules for and regulate AI through carefully considered laws.

Not every tech should be pursued and implemented.

So cool to have a leap forward in a technology that consumes disgusting amounts of resources to operate, is powered by plagiarism, and whose only conceivable applications are to either scam people or to make extremely illegal pornography.

I remember when I was younger and the fake celebrity porn was all done with photoshop

The technology is progressing more rapidly than a lot of people may have predicted.

Well, faster than the denialists predicted. I think everyone else knew that AI development is going to be accelerating, not leveling off or slowing down.

And, you know, finding new drug therapies for horrible diseases.

That will cost a crippling amount in the US system.
