No question AI is going to be a force in the coming years. Jury is still out on whether it will be for good or evil. It is already hard to tell what is real and what is not both in images and written words. That is just plain scary when it comes to trusting a newspaper or magazine article.

Authors are already seeing fake books under their name that they get no royalties for. Something else about a legal brief that was good enough to get accepted by the court comes to mind. Article I read on that said it was so good the only way it got caught out was someone else wanted to use a precedent cited in the brief and actually checked some of the listed cases and found no record of them.

Saw another article where it said artists are banding together to try and incorporate something or some process in their work. I didn't understand it but somehow it supposedly "poisons" the work AI generates so it becomes obvious it is fake. If it works, great but as the technology improves doubt it works for long.

One good thing is AI is being incorporated in medical diagnostic software and is able to catch minuscule anomalies easily missed in some x-rays. Guess it is also able to find and remember things easily missed in mass screenings so a pattern is noticed much earlier than if a human alone was compiling the data.

Of course, for what it's worth the articles I read may have all been generated by AI and be as fake as some of the cars being touted as MacArthur's Clippers.
