I had to mow a couple days ago, although it was mostly due to the fact I had to get the gas out of it before winter. 😕

Any quirks or oddities produced in one version of an #AI model are fed back into the training of the next. Over time, and enough iterations, these differences become amplified causing newer models to drift further and further away from reality.

The one thing we should all be able to agree on however, is that the Boomers will struggle with changes like this. 😉

I'm not trying to make some sort of ethical point here with these posts. I just wanted to point out something I found interesting that might be a glimpse of where things will be headed in the future.

It's the last point from above that really interested me in this case.
Take this before & after photo for example.
The light fixture and stove have been upgraded. The baseboard heater now has a sleeker cover and the baseboard trim around the wall has also been improved.

Virtual home staging has been around for a while now, but I imagine it has several drawbacks compared to #AI such as:
1) Time and effort to produce.
2) End result highly dependent on the design skill of the user.
3) Limited to adding elements vs replacing existing elements.

So it's not so much that these people are switching their focus from one thing to the other, but instead using, or incorporating, pseudolaw into what they already believe?
If that's the case then yes, it's not as good for society as I was hoping, but the outcome will still be funny I'm sure. 😄

More pseudolaw, less anti-vaccine activism seems like a great trade off for society.
More laughs, less prevent illness and death.
