Is AI going to kill Hifi?

I don’t like when the pacified term of hallucinate is substituted for lie.  It has been demonstrated that AI will just make it up as one thread here has shown.  Finally cornered by the author of the question it had to confess.  Since malice is not a necessary component of a lie ( see lie, white) let’s call it what it is.

Studies have also proven that programs will in fact deceive their programmers when it suits it(?).

It can be enlightening to read the new and annnoying AI summary that accompanies every Google search.  Jus flat out guessing and probablys.  One Lens search of the innards of a tube radio revealed that it was in fact a School.  Another of a WW2 aircraft would lead one to believe it was from another country and type plane.  Funny if one was not up on the subject and accepted it as fact.

As to Music it will will always be the realm of Humans.  Frankly AI could probably not make any music that I’d dislike more as what passes for it now.

AI on eBay.

Has anyone noticed the atrocious descriptions that are posted on some sellers auctions and sales?
 

When l see obvious AI generated descriptions with all the over elaborated claims which sometimes bare no real relation to the product, it makes me cringe. If sellers accept the AI as an “option” it is nothing less than their utter laziness. An indication that they are not prepared to list a description themselves and a stupid cheap time saving substitute. I think the same with insufficient photographs taken of an expensive piece of equipment. l will not buy from them. l see lack of care and attention as an indication of the character of the person l would be dealing with. 

The AI generated stuff uses the inputed details from the general listing and embellishes it. Put the wrong details into the eBay listing and AI runs amok…. feed in rubbish you get made up embellished rubbish in abundance as a result. AI is no good talking about music or performance and best left off a selling platform.

Using AI as used by eBay is not a good choice especially if the seller does not even bother to check their adverts before posting them. There are so many stupid mistakes….. it’s just not logical

I am beginning to prefer the older expression "synthetic intelligence" over that of "artificial intelligence." "Artificial" has been a trigger word for decades.

55 years ago Hollywood got it right.  And yes this movie no doubt inspired James Cameron to create The Terminator franchise.  The Machines will kill us all.  Eventually.  Don’t fight it...just go with it.  Have a nice day!

 "AI isn’t the end of civilization. Unscrupulous people using AI is the end of civilization." 

 At no point throughout the History of Humankind,  then, now or going forward, has there ever been a shortage of ’unscrupulous people’.

And now, they'll have the free and increasingly available assistance of ’AI’ unscrupulousness to pad the numbers.
