Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Thread

[Caduceus]

This is wild. Hollywood as we know it is a dead man walking. Even if AI technology fails to spread into the rest of the society (unlikely), the fact that it will soon decentralize and democratize the creation of audiovisual media will have profound and far-reaching implications for society. The entire idea of movie stars will soon seem as antiquated as a gladiators, and the massive cultural influence of film/TV will be open to independent creators. The fact that major movie and television production was, for decades, a carefully controlled realm guarded by an army of gatekeepers, will strike us as an unfortunate artifact of a more primitive time. There will soon be an indie revolution in movies/TV to rival what we've seen with music, YouTube, and computer games over the past decade (where in each of those spheres independent artists/producers have been creating content of much greater quality and originality than legacy studios).

To retain control of the official narrative, they will just put any AI movie or image making tool behind a very expensive paywall.
Problem solved (for them)

Here's a report from Deloitte:

The State of AI in the Enterprise - 2026 AI report

Explore the Deloitte AI Institute’s State of AI in the Enterprise report tracking AI investments, adoption, impacts on business, and challenges throughout 2025.

This looks like a powerpoint telling me how awesome AI is, based on surveys. https://www.deloitte.com/content/da...services/consulting/2026/state-of-ai-2026.pdf

It reads like this (troll?) tweet:



I didn't see anything on Apps it can create or concrete examples.

Also Deloitte's credibility is pretty low from this scandal and really want to shine AI in the birghtest possible light: https://fortune.com/2025/11/25/delo...arch-million-dollar-report-canada-government/

You asked for something about enterprise AI use that didn't come from an AI company, I provided it. Now you say it's not technical enough. If you want something more technical, it's probably going to originate from someone involved with AI development, given that those people are the ones most intimately familiar with the technology and its potential uses. I've provided that, as well, but you say it's biased and can't be trusted. It seems that your mind is already made up on the topic.

Seedance 2.0 can recreate your voice with only a photo of you

The model reportedly demonstrated the ability to generate highly accurate personal voice characteristics using only facial images, even without user authorization.

uploading a personal facial photo caused the model to produce audio nearly identical to his real voice — without using any voice samples or authorized data.

I didn't ask for "something", I asked for concrete examples. You haven't provided anything other than a powerpoint of survey responses from an ill-reputed consulting firm on AI who's trying to justify their $3B investment.

I work intimately with AI with work. It's not remotely close to what they are selling. It can copy code from elsewhere to build something simple (and they even get this wrong), but anything involving integration or complications fails miserably.

If you read my responses, my mind is not made up. I've stated repeatedly that it may be what they're saying.

However, I'm waiting to see evidence, real evidence.

It's interesting to see you believing the hype about this tech, but not Bitcoin (which I also agree with you about). I see the same type of techbros hyping HODL on AI. Just without concrete evidence.

Reminds of those old "password strength websites", where you type in your password to see how strong it is and to not know what happens to it.
