Just for now, soon this practice will be normalized and widely used, after all we are in the late capitalism stage and all violations are relativized

“Just so we’re clear guys, fake evidence is not allowed”
Used to be that people called it the "CSI Effect" and blamed it on television.
Funny thing. While people worry about unjust convictions, the "AI-enhanced" video was actually offered as evidence by the defense.
"When we enhance the image and place a knife in the defendant's hand..."
How does this work when you have a shitty Samsung that turns a pic of a pic of the moon into the Moon by adding details that weren't there?
Yeah, this is a really good call. I'm a fan of what we can do with AI, when you start looking at those upskilled videos with a magnifying glass... It's just making s*** up that looks good.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A judge in Washington state has blocked video evidence that’s been “AI-enhanced” from being submitted in a triple murder trial.
And that’s a good thing, given the fact that too many people seem to think applying an AI filter can give them access to secret visual data.
Lawyers for Puloka wanted to introduce cellphone video captured by a bystander that’s been AI-enhanced, though it’s not clear what they believe could be gleaned from the altered footage.
For example, there was a widespread conspiracy theory that Chris Rock was wearing some kind of face pad when he was slapped by Will Smith at the Academy Awards in 2022.
Using the slider below, you can see the pixelated image that went viral before people started feeding it through AI programs and “discovered” things that simply weren’t there in the original broadcast.
Large language models like ChatGPT have convinced otherwise intelligent people that these chatbots are capable of complex reasoning when that’s simply not what’s happening under the hood.
