Rather than using ChatGPT's image skills to create Studio Ghibli-style pictures, a Greek woman decided to experiment with the trend of AI tasseography – a form of...
Not necessarily. I think that predicting crime using public information can be beneficial. It just shouldn't be invasive or biased, and shouldn't be used in court to justify a warrant or arrest.
Let's not kid ourselves. Publicly available information is invasive and a violation of privacy.
We have corporations who have effectively set up mass surveillance networks and they call it "adtech".
There is an entire economy surrounding "publicly available information". There are corporations that act as as data brokers and people search websites that compile way too much sensitive information about private individuals. Newspapers systematically report on events that aren't really of public interest concerning private individuals; e.g. arrest records and these articles hang around forever even if the arrest doesn't result in a conviction or the crime is expunged.
If this was employed by the government or law enforcement, it would absolutely include data that extends far beyond the reaches of publicly available information — and it's worth pointing out that the US has a mass surveillance network in the form of the NSA/PRISM.
There is zero way you could convince me that AI, prone to hallucination, would be well served to predict crime or criminals. Even if it didn't hallucinate, it still wouldn't be possible to predict crime — only potentially anticipate a crime. We aren't 2D characters following a script — anything can happen.
Law enforcement is already very unhinged. Let's not cheerlead the addition of any tools that aid in psychosis to their arsenal.
It seems that the woman has a penchant for believing mystical guidance. "A few years ago, she visited an astrologer and it took a whole year for her to accept that none of it was real," the husband said.
That should've been the first clue. I can date someone who engages in fantasy for a bit, but if they never come back to reality then just put the relationship down humanely.
"I laughed it off as nonsense," he said. "But she didn't. She told me to leave, informed our kids about the divorce, and the next thing I knew, I was getting a call from her lawyer."
I'm going to take a risk and leave here the shortcut for Wikipedia's page on eugenics.
Next I'm going to add that a person acting/navigating their life based off stupidity or delusion incur in an incresead probability of, by their own actions and choices, remove themselves from the population either by isolation, self endangerment or any behavior that for some reasons makes them non eligible as viable partners.
This isn't about a group being labelled and targeted by another for forceful removal of society.
Eugenics is in itself not bad. You'd want to eugenics away sickle cell anemia disease, for example. But because of history, it is understandable that eugenics has gotten a bad rap. And drawing the line where you want to perform it is blurry. Should we do away with autism or Down syndrome?
AI tasseography – a form of divination that interprets shapes left by tea leaves (or sometimes coffee grounds or wine sediment) after a cup is drunk.
So. Instead of just, idk, feeding ChatGPT all known details of the SO and maybe a dump of their messages or whatever and actually have a chance of it giving you a proper answer...they... just gave it a pic of a drunk coffee cup‽ Wtf is wrong with people
