This is what GenAI is for

I'm an AI skeptic, gleefully saving stories of AI deleting a company's entire database, or diagnosing faked diseases, or just frankly turning evil.  Although it is more than happy to apologise for its poor behaviour, like after that time it set dinosaurs loose in Central Park.  

I'm waiting for the day it does something so extreme, the problem can no longer be ignored, the lack of any "intelligence" can no longer be overlooked.  Its use, including hallucinating a footall match that never took place, has already resulted in the "retirement" of a Chief Constable.  Check your citations, guys!

However, there are extremely skilled artists generating amazing material with GenAI that enriches culture. 

This LoTR disco movie is amazing:

And I soooo wish this Dr Who trailer was real:



I'm not sure how many gigajoules of electricity, or gigalitres of water, were involved in generating these.  But it is certainly energy and coolant well spent, compared to the standard AI slop inundating us.
