AI and how "weirdness" will be human


Forum|alt.badge.img+2

What I love about AI is that I us it to short circuit my overthinking brain. Like I am quicker to assign “good enough” to AI output rather than when I start from the ground up. Which means I am responding to emails and other smaller tasks quicker. 

What I hate about AI is the hype around it. Because of the hype there’s very little basic education. What it is, how to spot it, how it comes up with answers, and how to engage with it.  I think this is important AI is becoming weaponized in that people who don’t like something or don’t agree with something call things AI to invalidate truth. Alternatively things that are obviously AI draw people in because they don’t see it coming. So general teaching about this new tool would be great. I think eventually AI will become so prevalent, that we’ll be paying service providers for mistakes so that content and marketing feels more human.

@TAMAYS This is such a unique take on AI. I especially like your prediction about “paying service providers for mistakes” to sound more human. There are already versions of that available in existing AI tools where you can choose to change the tone, etc. But what will be interesting to see is how AI changes our perception and expectations of “perfection”, and maybe reminds us all that ‘perfect’ and ‘just right’ could be distinct in reality!

I agree with ​@Gayatri Shukla’s take on the OP. At least for now there are tools out in the wild to detect AI, whether it’s to look for uncanny valley “weirdness” that are telltale markers for GenAI output or for mechanical perfection where it’s unlikely.

But someday, who knows? Organic marketing may become defined by “!00% end-to-end created by people,” little imperfections and all.

It just occurred to me today, but will someday the uncanny valley of AI compare and contrast with the possible “weirdness” of being human? Which will be the default and which will be the idiosyncratic “weird” outlier?

That's a weird, crazy, and interesting thought.

It seems like the more prevalent AI is the more folks want genuine and authentic content, things that aren’t perfect but are real. While I love AI as a brainstorming partner, the content I end up created is very human-centered and always gets more likes than things that are AI-generated. I’ll be intrigued to see how it all plays out.

I think the biggest problem is that literally up until this point it was pretty easy to discern AI v human. I think as AI becomes more advanced, what we know to be “human” will be harder to point out. Example, an AI generated caption can have some dead giveaways, but change that to an AI generated clip saying the same words and it might be harder to discern because are brains/eyes haven't had to be trained not to believe multiple points of data as we process information.
