should i tell them? And a ramble about AI
Apr. 9th, 2024 08:01 amguys, people are complimenting the obituary - should I tell them AI assisted?
I would say there were 3 writers - me, brother, and legacy AI assist- which is particularly helpful for the special formats obits use.
I hope y'all don't have to write one, but it was nice, I kind of hit 'shuffle' and changed the slider on 'traditional - poetic' and then manually adjusted some things.
When I see AI assist as an option, I usually go with 'yeah sure, why not' and see how things go. My professional fake portraits turned out pretty nicely but then later I got weirded out because of facial recognition software. I hope that my face doesn't get identity-thefted and then my phone or travel or something.

But also, I try to be very polite to my Alexa and Siri. I feel fairly confident they don't 'care' but it still seems like good manners, especially if they are prone to learning.

I know some folks don't want devices that listen for their code word, and that makes sense, but I'm not worried about it. I'm a grain of sand on a beach. Even if someone chooses to examine this grain of sand, what are they gonna find?

you know, it's weird. My college freshman sem was on AI - a philosophy class - and I got my first c on something and my dad gave me a stern talk about it. At the time AI was wayyyy more theoretical (this was 1999). I forget what we read. Maybe that's related to my 'be polite' conclusion.

Last, I'm still spellbound by the AIweirdness site/tumblr - what an AI can do versus what it can't, and how much that has changed since the days of Stargoon. (PS, here's what happened to paint colors 5 years later, https://www.aiweirdness.com/new-ai-paint-colors/)
