I find this use of AI, like with 99% of the “uses” for AI to be not only disturbing as all hell, but shows that we are creeping closer and closer to bizarro world.
I'm not too worried yet. Took like 8 tries to generate an image and it kept coming out wrong. The AI acknowledged that it was wrong, correctly identified what was wrong and promised to rectify it. 8 tries later and I gave up and it actually thanked me for letting it off without further tries.
Does that mean that AI can successfully read handwriting? I have some very old family letters, but I think I'm the last generation that'll be able to read them.
They can also, with varying success rates, use a sample of a person's speech to resurrect a dead person's voice to say things. Which can be used for good or bad purposes, like any tool. I do think recreating someone's handwriting a lot more balanced on the bad uses than on the good..
