Though if the AI did in fact reason such considerations in formulating an answer, quite frankly that would impress the hell out of me. That it operated more like a human, and less like Mr. Spock.

It favored articles from that camp, and totally missed where the term "playscale" arose from. That is, "sixthscale" has always been about accuracy where "playscale" was originally about accuracy, if specific to a single genre (miniature housing), and expanded to include playthings.

You're still focused on accuracy of scale. I'm speculating on the more practical purposes of both scale models and toys. That the AI may prioritize such context to keep the two terms mutually exclusive.

I see a very practical reason for keeping the two separated from one another, and avoiding any explanation that might blur such differences. Though whether the AI actually worked the problem out in such a manner, we may never know. At least not in the present.

While you may scoff at such "bias", I embrace it.

Though if I'm right, it really would seem to imply AI "thinking" rather than merely parsing data. o_O

To be clear, I do not consider Barbie & GI Joe's accessories to be 1:6 scale, but the figures, themselves, are a good approximation.
 
There's AI ads on youtube now advertising batons even if it's illegal to own in certain countries.

There was also an AI ad for a fake robot puppy recently.

A favourite youtuber of mine recently had his voice stolen. Someone trained an AI on his voice and then used his voice to narrate a video he was not in.

The state of AI content is crazy.
 
I see dishonesty in AI applications a lot now on YouTube. Particularly issues involving land mammals with parasites and the humans trying to help them. A common and very real theme with sea-going mammals like turtles and whales encrusted with parasitical barnacles.

However land-based mammals with barnacles? Really? Hard to fathom, and made worse when the visuals are all artificially created. Where even humans depicted in aiding such animals are not real.

Which as a story *might* be true in whole or in part, but I don't see the point of creating all the visual where a trained eye can see that they're almost entirely fake.

But then there's that one common denominator and motivation always in play on YouTube.

- Clickbait. That once they got you to just click on the presentation, they likely don't care what anyone thinks when it comes to credibility.

There is no "expectation of privacy" with public cameras nor with general internet postings.

That is why I only post my real name and face where it is professionally flattering to do so. Announcing my autism and sharing my lay figure doll collection are not professionally flattering. Even routine political leanings are guaranteed to alienate half of your audience.

I know some places in the UK don't know about other countries don't accept cash. And I know post offices and banks are closing. Link to story

Seems disturbing on multiple levels. Especially when one can cross over the Irish Sea and experience some very different positions on such an issue. Then again I know some American tourists who weren't impressed with Ireland's preference for cash.

Cash set to make a comeback for Irish businesses

Though pay toilets remain illegal here in a number of US states.
 
It seems like AI is set to automate propaganda, too.

I was trying to locate a story where two teens tried to play the "knockout game" on an unsuspecting victim. The man pulled a large knife during the attack, killing one and maiming the other. It was the teens' friends that gave this account of the incident!

When I tried to do an AI-assisted search of the incident, it kept returning stories where the victims were killed, no matter how I worded the search.

One of my previous interests was stage illusions. One standard trick is called a "Force," where you make sure the volunteer chooses the card that you wanted him or her to choose. That is the card you reveal later.

It seems like AI-assisted searches are doing the same kind of manipulation.
 
Ebay have started providing an AI description generator. This is the biggest load of expletive deleted rubbish I've ever encountered. The descriptions are absolute nonsense and tell the potential buyer ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the item on sale!
 
I'm getting swamped with inaccurate information presented as truth, when only a few details are correct. People seeing this as their first acquaintance with the subjects will never know reality. It even comes illustrated, and "seeing is believing."
 
Does anyone else think that these robots from this news story are creepy? news story
And here's a photo about a UK talk show discussing facial recognition in britain

My grandmother has been tricked into watching AI content and pictures.

Ai was meant to be an assistive tool but now it's becoming AI slop content farm.
