  • Not sure what the context is to warrant this reaction. I am not part of the anti-everything-ai mob.

    I fully agree on both points. Llms are here to stay and people need to learn to use them.

    That said: “please check the output before you hand it out” seems like such a basic minimum.

    i am actually shocked that usually smart people, including school teachers. Don’t practice this minimum of quality control.

    But this wasn’t a teacher, this was “the administration” a plural of people of which any could and should have done this minimum.

    At that point just hand out empty notebook instead. Its would actually be useable. It would be way less damaging to the image of the school. A School that cant write legible text in officials documents isn’t worth sending my kids too.











  • Is that really that different?

    The article doesn’t go into any length to explain the technology. But assuringly its just an encrypted passcode created with an algorithm using measured face data.

    Crafting a secure reliable personal id based on pure visual appearance has been tricky and when this came out i disliked it but it was clearly a feat.

    What is the story here?

    Google trusting this technology?

    Them adding age verification to it?

    I am just confused what makes this enough of something to write/post it.



  • The question i have,

    The image is digital when it is uploaded. There is a fixed assortiment of pixels only differentiated by the contrast of shades of grey.

    The instructions say to colorise.

    In my head this means every pixel needs to obtain a color value, while still matching contrast with pixels around it.

    What ai does instead is provide an entirely newly constructed image made up from entirely new pixels which show “google deepdream” patterns.

    This is from the final result where the author was “happier” with the result and asked what i assume is an llm to not invent information that isn’t there. (Zoom in)

    This is not what i would call a colorisation, it’s a colorised re-creation. I imagine a real colorisation as simply a layer of color values that combine with the exact pixels of the digital scan. Disabling that layer (using photo software) should return the exact digital original and turning the final colorisation into a black and white filter should still leave it nearly identical to the original. Anything else is a recreation for fun and fantasy purposes only.

    To vent, i am so glad we convinced someone in the family not to use the “ai enhanced” version for a loved ones official funeral picture.
