The word is, that people are deliberately misspelling words in things they write to prove that it’s authentically human and not something some AI program wrote.
When AI first started getting good, the first use of it that really got some attention was in Hollywood, where real actors were being replaced with AI creations, and the music world, where songs started coming out that were written and produced by non-existent musicians. All of the above is still going on, of course, only better and much more realistic as the technology improves.
The problem here is that everything is electronic now. How does anyone prove that an image is an actual photograph and not an AI creation? It’s a real problem for those for whom it’s a real problem. The rest of us don’t give a shit, of course, so this is about the It’s A Real Problem people and I have a solution.
Yes, jadees and lentilmen, I can Fix This, all I need is a few billion dollars and some laws passed by Congress, and signed by Pres. Trump, of course. What we have to do is bring back Kodak Film and the thousands of little Fotomat film processing kiosks in mall parking lots.
An actual photograph taken on light-sensitive material is of the actual scene. It can be a staged illusion but it can’t be electronically manipulated unless it’s copied to an electronic format. The original photograph stays the same.
Of course, it won’t take long for an AI program to start creating totally bogus pictures and exposing film to them, so you end up with the same thing anyway, but it would give the people in Washington a new and creative way to waste more of our money. I would welcome this, I’m so bored of failed weapon projects, shipbuilding cost overruns and trains and bridges to nowhere. They used to spend it all on studies, like $50 million to find out if houseflies get enjoyment from sex and $80 million to find the lowest temperature that chickens will still lay eggs at. One of my favorites, actually, and one that I found really interesting and hoped I could get a piece of the action on, was the $800 hammers. Just making the little steel wedges that hold the hammer part to the handle would have made me rich. Oh well.
