Even More AI Thoughts

[Millard Grubb]

Thanks Glenn for the advice about the ripoffs. Sheesh, ya gotta watch everything nowadays.

Your post about cheap copies got me to thinking about how AI works to copy things. So, I did some more experimenting.

I saw a video on Youtube of Julia McCoy who created a clone of herself and proceeded to do the same. Haven't got the voice cloned yet, but according to most AI guys, Eleven Labs is the go-to place to get that done.

I have to admit, AI did a good job of replicating my face. I used ChatGPT for one image and AIRFLOW produced four different images that ALL looked like me... in remarkable detail.

The positive side of this is that someone could produce quite a bit of content to teach others without having to spend hours in front of a camera. The STRONG negative I see, is that this technology will only get better and the possibility for DEEPFAKES will increase dramatically and it will be tough determining what is truth and what is fiction.

Be prepared for shenanigans!
