Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works - eviltoast
This AI hype cycle has dramatically distorted society's views of what's possible with image upscalers.

A judge in Washington state has blocked video evidence that’s been “AI-enhanced” from being submitted in a triple murder trial. And that’s a good thing, given the fact that too many people seem to think applying an AI filter can give them access to secret visual data.

    Tell me you don’t know shit about AI without telling me you don’t know shit. You can easily reproduce the exact same image by defining the starting seed and constraining the network to a specific sequence of operations.

      But if you don’t do that then the ML engine doesn’t have the introspective capability to realize it failed to recreate an image

        And if you take your eyes off of their sockets you can no longer see. That’s a meaningless statement.

          The point is that the AI ‘enhanced’ photos have nice clear details that are randomly produced, and thus should not be relied on. Are you suggesting that we can work around that problem by choosing a random seed manually? Do you think that solves the problem?
