Photographer uses advanced AI to show deceased celebrities "alive" again

[joberg]

We're already decades into this process.

Look at any blue-collar factory town that's been decimated by automation & offshoring. We didn't re-shape society to cope with those job losses decades ago. They weren't high enough on the social ladder.

AI is the same process, it's just eating jobs from higher up. But society's reaction will be different this time. That's the class hierarchy for ya.

GM was the first to use robot for spot welding...in 1961. The human portion of any job/position is always tricky.
ATMs for example: no sick days, no Union, no human resources, no conflict, etc...some job will survive: I don't see a robot plumber coming to your house to repair your toilet.
Then again; more and more people are clamoring for the right to repair stuff more and more (electronics mainly).
During the summer, West Coast in British Columbia, Canada; the port workers were on strike and demanding higher salary and a cut to automation.
So, as you can see, there's already demands to cut on automation for certain jobs that are in danger of disappearing in a not distant future.
Can a crane unload containers from a boat and place it on a truck automatically? You bet it can

The punchline will come when they cut the job of the guy that teaches the programmers how the job should be done to prevent disasters.

On the upside: lawyers are already obsolete. On January 1st, 2010 the number of laws in the US were doubled, making every lawyer and judge in the USA an "F" student in law. We have yet to recover adequately. Only AI can sort out the laws, but AI is not so effective at certain tasks that require any kind of judgement.

Fun times coming! LoL

If AI can sort out the DMV.....worth it?

But back to the topic at hand... the following website site has some more "If they never died, and had grown old" what-ifs of celebrity pics. Some of them are very good. Others, VERY scary.

I've seen that site before. IMO those pics are generally pouring on the old-age sauce too hard.

And, as a super recognizer myself, some don't make sense at all

The law is not about feelings

The law is all about feelings and beliefs. Common sense is considered a contaminant.

Well, when you'll have future lawyers and judges coming from...Harvard

Apparently, this has happened to science as well. A famous lecturer said in recent years: "I don't believe in common sense, I believe in science!"

There is no indicator for belief in the scientific method.
