Unfortunately the article doesn't have an example, or a comparison image. Other reports are similarly useless as well. The most that seemed to happen is that the wrinkles in someone's ear changed. In case anyone else wants to see it in action: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1lllnse/youtube_sh... I skimmed the videos as well, and there is much more talk about this thing, and barely any examples of it. As th…
A chill ran down my spine as I imagined this being applied to the written word online: my articles being automatically "corrected" or "improved" the moment I hit publish, any book manuscripts being sent to editors being similarly "polished" to a point that we humans start to lose our unique tone and everything we read falls into that strange uncanny valley where everything reads ok, you can't quite put your finger on…
I'm pretty sure all the hand wringing about A.I. is going to fade into the past in the same way as every other strand of technophobia has before.
Just the consideration of these possibilities was enough to shake the authenticity of my reality.
Even more unsettling is when I contemplate what could be done about data authenticity. There are some fairly useful practical answers such as an author sharing the official checksum for a book. But, ultimately, authenticity is a fleeting quality and I can’t stop time.

At this point, the stuff I'd want to remove: - auto-dubbing - auto-translation - shorts (they're fine in a separate space, just not in the timeline) - member only streams (if I'm not a member, which is 100% of them) The only viable interface for that is the web and plenty of browser extensions.
> - shorts (they're fine in a separate space, just not in the timeline) No they're not. Nothing that mandates vertical video has ever been fine nor ever will be. Tiktok, Reels, Shorts, all bad and should be destroyed. Unless the action is primarily vertical, which is rarely ever the case, it's always been and always will be wrong. Yes I will die on this hill. Videos that are worse to watch on everything but a phone a…

The only way to know for sure that something was written by a human: It contains racism, or any other opinion AIs are forbidden to express. Now imagine the near future of the Internet, when all people have to adapt to that in order to not be dismissed as AI.

Vertical videos, if they're focused on a human, work fine for the same reason.
Last week I went to buy a Philip K Dick eBook while on vacation. It was only $2 and my immediate thought was, “what are the odds this is some weird pirated version that’s full of errors? What if it’s some American version that’s been self-censored by Amazon to be approved by the government? What if it’s been AI enhanced in some way?” Just the consideration of these possibilities was enough to shake the authenticity o…

You're obviously reading way too much Philip K Dick. You need to make it more about personal identity crisis though, not just reality in general.
