Can we trust anything anymore
Last week I wrote an article all about visiting some great art. This article can be read here https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/weekend-celebrating-art-rob-nichols
A few of my colleagues and friends were a bit suspicious of the article, mainly due to the text was a bit over excited and not my normal article style. This was because virtually all the text here was created by AI. Slightly more enthusiastic and gushing about the art to be realistic as me. Although I did tell it it was for a LinkedIn article, so maybe that's how I should be when typing these posts !
All the Images too were created by AI by myself with Midjourney. Although there is some skill trying to find the correct prompts to create realistic images, the creation is all done in the background by an engine. Trial and error is required. It is rare to get something that looks perfectly what you wanted.
For example looking at breakdancing, the system thought they meant dancing with broken bones ! Which could be a post for another day
I think we all saw the picture of the Pope in a big White duffle coat and the reaction it got.
This photo went viral, not because everyone thought it was AI though, but more because people thought it looked a bit funny and were comparing it to things such as the Marshmallow man, or East 17. It didn't occur to most people that the picture was not real, and this is where it gets interesting.

Photoshopped images have been around for long enough, but they took time and still weren't 100% realistic. Whereas now using various AI tools anyone can mock up a fake image in minutes.
For example, here is King Charles, wearing a fetching flamboyant outfit on a red carpet. I created it in just 5 minutes via my phone the other day.
Ai videos have arrived but still currently lacking the finesse to make them believable, but the speed Ai is moving it won't be long. So when it comes to what we see on our screens, can we truly believe anything any more ?

1 年My talented wife Joanne Lillywhite and I were discussing exactly this recently. I can see a day where the ubiquitous framed print can be mildly customised to make each one unique - but we did feel original art (like the example below) would still hold its value (& perhaps even increase) because it cannot be generated. One debate is when AI modified a picture, who owns the copyright??
