That human soul shyt only matters on passion or projects where you get self fulfillment. Clients don’t care about that shyt, they see the final product and they either like it or they don’t.
For example, this dude just gained a massive following for his portrait work that many assumed were real portraits, soul be damned.
A Photographer Who Found Instagram Fame for His Striking Portraits Has Confessed His Images Were Actually A.I.-Generated
Richard Whiddington, February 24, 2023
As the followers of Jos Avery’s Instagram account continued to increase so did his guilt.
His @averyseasonart account largely features black-and-white portraits of sharp facial features and blurred backgrounds. Oftentimes, Avery provided the subject’s name and a cutesy anecdote about their life, such as Lucy, “a strong woman from the Bronx,” or Jared, a Boston photographer,
The problem, one Avery struggled to disclose to his 28,000 followers, was that he was creating the images using Midjourney, an A.I. image generator. Avery made the images by entering a text prompt into Midjourney and then fine-tuning them using Photoshop.
Avery describes the work as “A.I-generated, human-finished portraits” and though the process of imitating photorealism is doubtless laborious, among the myriad hashtags that accompanied each image, not one mentioned A.I. art or generative art. A further issue stemmed from Avery having previously denied that the images were A.I.-generated and were, in fact, taken on a Nikon D810.
The popularity of the images, which he began posting on Instagram in October 2022, had wildly exceeded his expectations, creating an uneasiness that led him to contact Ars Technica, a technology publication. “Probably 95 percent-plus of the followers don’t realize [the images are A.I.-generated],” he told Ars Technica, “I’d like to come clean.”
The online response was varied with some criticizing Avery’s dishonesty and others acknowledging the quality of the work.
“Don’t call yourself a photographer, or an artist. All you’ve done is stolen from actual artists,” Ron Drynan wrote on Instagram, “You’re a prompter that finally grew some semblance of a conscience, nothing more.”
“It is A.I.-made portrait but yes it’s great,” read another response on Instagram.
The story is the latest beat in the ongoing furor surrounding A.I. image generators and their impact on creative professionals. In 2022, platforms such as Lensa A.I., DALL-E 2, and Nightcafe gained rapid popularity due to the ease and affordability with which users could create high-quality images. Artist pushback is largely based on the fact these image generators are built by scraping millions of online artworks without consent or compensation.
Avery did not respond to a request for comment.
If that’s not a sign that talented people shouldn’t be worried then I don’t know what is

All 30 Triple-A ballparks will use robot umpires to call balls and strikes for the 2023 season, according to a report from ESPN. The Triple-A affiliate for the Texas Rangers is the Round Rock Express, which plays at Dell Diamond.

What they need to do is put an A.I on our tax code and try to sort that shyt all out.
It should just be basic logic, right?
Then a government site should have it so it's citizens can make a query about the legality of something.
Make all that shyt translatable in plain English.

I still personally don’t think so
only time will tell
Even AI is going to be used to read ultrasounds and xrays. No need to wait for a radiologist to get your results

Yup and this is only the early stages, imagine in a few years as things get refine. Look at smartphones, 10 years ago this was the top of the line smartphone
Now you can take photos that look as good as dlsrs, 4k video that looks as good a cinema camera, pay straight from your phone no need to carry physical debit or credit cards etc. etc.
Soon we will get to a point where you can just write - write me a 500 page book based on game of thrones characters with a interesting plot and you'll have that ish in a few min in a ebook on your damn kindle
