This is why one of my first question is always:

That I can watch ad free on my PC at no cost, then be faced with anything from 2 x 6 second ads, or 3 hour ads (not even kidding) on Xbox youtube app is reason enough to be sus of their intent.
AI James Dyson trying to sell me an investment opportunity is evidence enough ads are not about quality.

There was one of those studies where you had to pick bodies / faces from a lineup and then they melanged them all together to create this prototypical "most attractive" - and there was a difference between men / womens perspective of their own gender (as normal people would expect).

I think using mass genocide type bloke as a "this is what our PM is doing right now by applying VAT" is neither compare nor contrast.

It happens in almost every industry to one degree or another, even heavily unionised ones such as nursing.
It isn't even the corporate level that is the issue (they all have polished brochures up there about equality and fairness), it's at managerial and store level where they do the dark arts.

We actually had practical examples in the UK with antivaxxers producing their own "consent" form mocked up with NHS branding etc that schools were to issue.
I called it at the time "misinformed consent".

You'll be pleased to know they made a new DuckTales in the late 20-teens to 2020's, so there's a whole bunch of kids who now get this reference!
You could briefly enjoy recreating the intro when the new series was announced...

Do I really believe Lord Rose (per article below) is informed on the subject? Not really.
Is Chris Goss just having some unquantified feelings? Probably.
Does Prof Bloom really think "mentoring" is just solved by working in the office? Probably not.
Many parameters.

Hindsight is 20:20.
I'm sure she didn't just go along with it repeatedly, and instead was publicly speaking up about the failings of the party in her role as oh... trade minister.

Doubtful, there are people online who just publish stuff to Amazon because there's no risk to them.
Takes a few minutes, use AI to generate the content, every one they sell is free money.
But the idea is someone is meant to check the advert / content etc.

That's my question though, like who gets to define - and how / where is it tracked and who is ultimately responsible.
Like is there is a big list of diseases tagged "Endemic" and then a bunch of country codes?
Is there "Extinct" status with details of last identified / found in circulation?

Gap between arms in both pictures the AI knows to add her in, but doesn't know how to handle putting her in AND keeping what is behind her in view.

I'm sure the UK wasn't alone in being adorned with these sweet reminders of paediatric disease.

From what I can tell, they use Second Life (after dress up, pose editor and so on) then may use a filter for some instances of post processing, but clearly use AI a lot of the time to make it photorealistic (because filters don't make arms & heads in gifs contort, or add fingers etc).
