Not another 'AI' story thread.
We've seen too many threads here about fake stories, or accusations there of.
Someone here is using a fake face as an avatar. It's so fake, it's creepy, though if that face were real it might be outstanding. I've gotten so I can pick many of them out even without the mangled fingers showing.
One another thread I mentioned that CGI stopped me from watching new films. I could understand it in limited use for complicated stunts where the use of actors got them injured in many cases and caused insurance companies to clamp down. But they've taken it to the point of nearly making full films with it costing actors jobs.
Fakery goes back a lot further though. I'm not talking about animations and miniatures or models to replicate spaceships and monsters, but rather prerecorded images and sound effects used in later productions to 'cut costs'. In The Addams Family', they only blew the train up once. Every later episode used the same footage. SciFi was good for it, the same monsters and sequences were used over and over again. Sometimes they were altered a bit, but not always.
In multiple TV shows, we saw the same background footage, chase scenes and heard the same audio/sound effects. Rarely were new action sequences and scenes filmed in a way that made them seem real and even more rarely were new sounds recorded.
One notable example was the film 'The Driver'. Anyone that says the ultimate chase scene was in Bullitt has never seen this film. When I first saw it, one thing that struck me was the sound of the sirens that I recognized immediately as Federal Interceptors. I've been in vehicles with those and have rotated the selector switch to make those sounds. It's incredibly unique and the deep resonance created by transistorized amplifiers cannot be reproduced by computer simulation.
How long have we heard it in music? I'm not talking about synthesizers and electronica. Listen to a track on vinyl played on a 1970s turntable with associated components and you can almost 'feel' the music. That's far less likely with digital recordings played on all electronic equipment at least at the average consumer level. High end systems are somewhat better.
Machine generated content, whether stories, images, sound effects or music is not the same as original human created content, no matter how much effort goes into the programming and prompts.
I have no idea why I'm posting this, some damn bunny got up my nose I guess.
