This looks like shit. It's like the terrible presets that TVs run on in stores that make everything over-saturated and over-sharpened.

And it literally changes the characters' faces with generative nonsense.

Garbage. Horrible.

A lot of the devices we use in the kitchen (Thermomix, microwaves, dishwashers, coffeemakers etc) use complete operating systems and embedded computers nowadays, often with internet connectivity for who knows what. So. Will we soon see mandated fingerprint readers for age verification or will a simple switch with "18+" be sufficient to continue to cook and clean? ;)

...FYI anyone non-ironically using the term "biological sex" (as Matt Yglesias does in his NY Times op-ed today) is using GOP/TERF-invented language that has no biological basis – see here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZymY...

“The message of many data labelers and of the lawyers who have been helping them is that artificial intelligence is not a magical tool built by people in San Francisco making millions of dollars a year and pushing their companies to insane valuations. Artificial intelligence is an extractive technology that relies on the brutal labor of underpaid workers around the world.”

“AI-powered writing tools are increasingly integrated into our e-mails and phones. Now a new study finds biased AI suggestions can sway users’ beliefs”

“We told people before, and after, to be careful, that the AI is going to be (or was) biased, and nothing helped,” Naaman said. “Their attitudes about the issues still shifted.”
