The AI dooooooom thread

[crazy canuck]

There is always a risk analysis and balancing that is required.  If lives can be lost in the time that it takes to generate an analysis of an image to determine whether or not it is valid then the prudent thing to do is not take that time, but just shut the system down to ensure safety.

That's why it is a criminal offence, at least in this country, to intentionally make a false report.

But was it a report? I haven't seen anything on how the posts were framed on social media (like did they tag the train company) just reporting on how fake image stopped trains.

That's a good question. How did the information get to a decision-maker with the authority to shut down the system?  I assume it was a report of some sort.

I know right.
This is being mostly reported as a "AI does bad" story. But I'd even more so read it as a cutting back on employees and ruining resilience story. This bridge was just half a mile from Lancaster Station.  They seriously didn't have someone they could send on a 10 minutes walk to check?

I loved the double layer as well. The article reported on it probably being AI fake because the journalist ran it through an AI tool, relying on its judgement.

I guess eventually the dead Internet will be supplemented by the AI Internet where we watch and read AI reactions to AI content.

And all this will burn our climate down and collapse our economy. Maybe this will be our civilisation's version of the Easter islands statutes.

I guess we also can't discount the possibility that someone made and posted the hoax but then someone else reported it to the train company not knowing that it was a hoax.

That sounds the most probable.  And the most worrisome as people post AI images that become increasingly difficult to detect are "fake".
