Sorry, the "You Wouldn't Steal a Car" Anti-Piracy Ad Wasn't 'Pirated' * TorrentFreak

Who doesn't know the Piracy It's a Crime campaign? You wouldn't steal a car, right? But would you use pirated music for an anti-piracy advert? According to popular belief, this is what the creators of the campaign did, but 'unfortunately' it's not true.

"Trained a Neural Net"

https://xkcd.com/2173/

XKCD comic description:

Two figures are talking one has a white hat and holding a phone, the other's head is just a circle, commonly called cueball.

white hat: Oh hey, you organized our photo archive!

Cueball: Yeah I trained a neural net to sort the unlabeled photos into categories.

White hat: Woah nice work!

The legend says "Engineering tip: When you do a task by hand you can technically say you trained a neural net to do it."

Which seems relevant to claiming watching videos is training a neural net.

@maxleibman I forgot whose toot it was but a year ago or so I read the following idea:

For every frame of a movie:
1. Have an AI describe the frame to another AI
2. Have the 2nd AI generate a new frame based on the description

I mean it's wrong to do so (for all kinds of wrong, f. I. power consumption, morally etc) but I would like to see the result.

@maxleibman I am sure if one were to ask ACHAT GPT (politely), then ACHAT GPT would provide one with a freshly laundered Blue Ray copy. Unfortunately the video would start in the middle and sequentially zip back and forth until the beginning and then show scenes from a different film for the ending.
