AI, perhaps a useful use.

I just came across this group on Facebook. It appears you can just post in your damaged photos and they may rejuvenate it. You can scroll though the work which is truly fantastic. If you have a poor old picture you might want to give it a go.

I have seen various examples of folks changing photos on FB using AI. There was a lovely example of de-aging Patricia Routledge back through her brilliant career. AI may be of use here but I still view it with great suspicion ( Luddite??) Also need to remember that AI is no match for natural stupidity.

There is a lot to not like about it. But it is also very useful. I manage, (though it often infuriates me). And I am 76 and a half.

AI still has a long way to go - one of the other forums I use recently introduced an AI contributor to answer technical queries - more times than not it gave incorrect information although it waffled on eloquently.

I first came across FB during a holiday to France where regular visitors to the small site used it to keep in touch amongst themselves and the site owners. My kids (50+) use it and my wife recently joined so she can see what her brother is doing in his daily. activities in the care home. But the grandkids have long moved on to other social media.

AI can manipulate the picture to show a younger person and then un knowing to you, use the picture for nefarious and perhaps illegal means. As Roger has mentioned, on many occasions when doing a Google AI has come up with the incorrect or misleading answer or summary. I do not trust it!

My grandson is doing a masters in AI and was giving me a walk through on where it is being used, sometimes with good effect, other times with questionable results. One of the key areas is in medical interpretation, especially of symptoms and test/scan results, where in breast or lung scan interpretation its success rate betters that of specialist radiographers. But even in such outcomes the final decision is normally made by a MDT.

Following a significant loss of blood in April my follow up tests included a 24 hr ECG. The results were all interpreted by AI in a specialist unit in Leeds, released via a cardiac specialist and sent to my GP. No need to look and pay for parking at Bath RUH.

Put me down as a Luddite.
Don't trust it for 1 second.

Would you trust a Terminator? LOL!

These days the tag "AI" seems to be associated with any form of automation and used as if its some sort of magic! Around the middle of the last century we had some AI that automatically turned our heating on and off without any human intervention, its called a Thermostat!

AI revolutionised livestock farming decades ago!

AI is NOT a problem. In fact it is very often a solution. People and misuse however, is a problem. We have to train ourselves to spot the scams. Something that is getting increasingly hard.

In the infancy of the internet, I had to mark students work and is was surprisingly easy to spot the content which had been pulled down, copied and pasted. However, some of my colleague's who had no IT knowledge, were very easily duped by there students.

Oddly, I had no problem copying and pasting content when preparing lessons. 😖
