That isn't AI though?
My 2017 S-Class has a drowsiness detector that does the same thing (scans your eyes to see if they are open and sometimes signals the alarm if my eyes are very narrow) and IIRC the S-Class before had it too. They just call every system AI now.
 
Out of interest, has anyone else downloaded Grok and had a play around with it?

It actually sickens me a little that an app that I've been creating funny vids with is being used in such a sick way by other people. I'll give a simple example of how I used it. I drew a with a marker pen a picture of a friend on my white wall at home when we were together. I then Grok'ed a phot of the wall it and put a funny message into the app. Grok then brought my scribbled face to life like a cartoon and in a dodgy American accent said the words I'd typed. We both found it genuinely funny.

There's always been these silly apps that put moustaches on photo's or do things like merge 2 faces into one. For me, it was just the new version of this. Then I see a national debate happening about deepfakes including nudity, pedophilia etc. I then read stories that Elon Musk's lot answer to their app enabling this horrible content is to just put that part behind a monthly subscription. I don't understand AI as well as others but I can probably see how it is just become a free-for-all and is not being properly regulated. That's always been the way with new tech.

I've obviously deleted the app now once I saw the bigger picture of what Musk's lot is up to.

Just wondered whether anyone else has any experience of Grok?

It's a tool that needs to be regulated properly and the providers need better controls.

You don't stop using knives because someone got stabbed though. In itself it is not evil and wasn't created with evil intent.

You're right, regulation is key but this sort of tool can do far greater damage than a single knife can. Yes, including death. Guaranteed to be suicides that come out of it.

Knives also have a higher purpose. Grok seemingly doesn't. We got by this far without it.
 
I spent 5 mins messing around on an AI song generator tonight. Produced 2 full tracks, including vocals indistinguishable from real vocals, and the songs were actually pretty decent in quality and imagination. It plagiarised the fudge out of who knows how many songs to do this, used copious amounts of energy and while impressive, I hated every second of it. fudge AI and horse it rode in on.
