Vanderbilt University: New study examines why some people can more easily detect AI imagery. “A new study has found that a person’s object recognition ability, or the ability to distinguish visually similar objects, can predict who can spot an AI-generated face. The higher the ability, the easier it is for a person to tell the difference.”

I have eufy security cameras at home. They claim to be using AI for object recognition. More than a dozen times each day, the doorbell camera has identified the bug zapper as “human”. Finally, I had to limit the region in which it performs object recognition. lol

👁️ 🤖 A study from our school reveals why humans excel at recognizing objects from fragments while AI struggles, highlighting the critical role of contour integration in human vision.

Temple University: New research reveals superior visual perception in humans compared with AI. “[Professor Vlad] Ayzenberg and researchers from Emory University compared the visual perceptual abilities of preschoolers and state-of-the-art AI models and found that these children outperformed the best computer vision models currently available.”

What's on my mind?

Disappointment and Disillusionment!

- Invested 7 yrs in #GoPiGo3 #robot
- Created #ROS2 nodes for #proprioception, #odometry, #LIDAR, #docking, #tts #mapping, #navigation, #simulation, #ObjectRecognition, and #LifeLogging

- My robot cannot safely and reliably navigate in my complex home environment.
- No slower turns, no inflation value can fix

I'm done, destroyed, no strength left for "one more try". GoPi5Go-Dave is on the shelf with other "reached its limit" robots.

📣 Presentation at Glücksspielsymposium #SympGS24Forschungsstelle Glücksspiel (Universität Hohenheim)

🎲 Adding to notions of #nudging and #DarkPatterns I spoke about other forms of Human-Technology Relations through #AdversarialAttacks, #Jailbreaking, and #SpecificationGaming

👾 Technical objects always afford more than what is intended by providers in their marketing logic. The spaces of possibility that lie beyond the logic of exploitation in the nature of the object indicate what will happen sooner or later in the application of technologies anyway- and the better you know your way around, the easier it is to help shape, counteract, be creative, make informed decisions and act in a self-determined way.

What's more, dealing with these things is simply a lot of fun. Thank you very much for the invitation and the positive feedback! The slides will soon be available on the University of Hohenheim website.

Attending the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) Lectures on Digital Cultural Heritage today.

Great to see the intersection between CWI and the Humanities, I'm looking forward to the lectures.

Kicking off with Peter Bell (Philipps University Marburg, Germany), speaking about: "Objects in Pictures, Objects in Time. Art History and Computer Vision"

#CWI #ArtHistory #ObjectRecognition

The new #Synology #Photos 1.5 #objectrecognition is not supported on the new #DS224+, but that is due to lack of memory installed.

Stock setup is with 2GB of RAM, and for that feature to work, 4GB or more will be needed.

Face/people detection works with 2GB out-of-the-box.
