Grandsons introduced me to the NaukNauk app where they were busy photographing and animating their soft toys much to everyone’s delight. I wondered how it would work with garden railways or in particular, passengers who wouldn’t normally move. Not everyone’s cup of tea but if you want to experiment, download the app and have a play. You can follow me ”Chameleon” and see what you think.
 
Please don’t!

The cost to the planet (where ever you live) in energy and water use, not to mention land use etc., is so great. Every ‘fun’ use of AI is costing us all. Also the AI stuff is capturing every image you upload to ‘train’ its software - and you don’t get paid.

On another railway related board I’m there’s a member who daily posts many images he says he’s created. It’s getting boring and costing us all a huge amount.

Rant over.

Just seen your post - seems like I’ve strayed into a contentious area? Who would have thought that a little childish amusement could be so damaging to the planet? I’d better delete that app then!

Ah yes, but what if you permanently "delete" all those humans that AI is intended to replace ? Let's face it they drive a need for all that water and energy too. Then AI could take over the land their homes would have stood on. So, it will all balance out in the end. Anybody for a serving of Soylent Green. Welcome to dystopia. Max :fearscream::fearscream::fearscream::fearscream:
 
End of the day whilst normal thinking people hate the effect on the Environment it is sadly a fact of life that AI will be changing all of our lives. Much like Railways and the Industrial revolution changed the World forever. What needs to happen is an element of Environmental reality, AI Centres in Scotland where Windpower creation is regularly turned off due to excess. Water, perhaps some of the millions that will be created from AI could be used to capture and clean dirty water for use in AI cooling. But of course none of this will be even considered because the people pushing this are multi millionaires in fact billions that want to be even richer to run the World. Meanwhile you will have sen some of my efforts to create pictures eliminating garden fences and even people using AI, small beer in the scheme of things and much less use of power than say a vid would use. BUT it does tempt me to make a vid of me as a driver climbing into one of my trains and driving it down the line…..
 
SKYNET is coming (Terminator ;))
 
Oh yes I never mentioned that, SciFi often created reality remember Startrec Communicators the flip open type and the flip open phones? Plus iPads/Pad Computers so much like what they also use.

Most things we invent as human beings can get taken over and abused by those intent on criminal activity - it's more a comment om human nature than technology.

I think the difficulty for our generation is the exponential rate of change - we don't have time to settle down with one new technical advancement before another six come along. T'was never like that when we were kids :emo: :emo:

Just look at main line railway locomotive development in the 50s and 60s - technology was developing at a slower pace :smoke::smoke:

It will all balance out if the extra demand of AI equals the demand of the humans "deleted" which seems unlikely looking at the demand AI in its infancy already makes of these resources.

And remember, AI is basically a "trawler" of information and then an extractor and summariser of what it collects, and it can do this with huge amounts of data very quickly. But, unlike humans, I doubt it has the "hunch" factor, the ability to think, "There's something not quite right here" and act accordingly.
 
God help us, as soon as AI realises there is something 'not quite right' with humanity.....

Let's face it...
'We' have pretty much b*gg*er*d up the Mother-Ship Earth.. :worried:

Computers and AI can calculate along pre-determined lines at speed, and without getting tired, and without making silly errors, so in that respect they do things better than we can.

However, they cannot think or reason - they cannot make a judgement.

I remember Jeremy Clarkson doing a programme in the US where he was introduced to a robot that could answer any question.

Clarkson question: What do you think of the Doobie Brothers?
Robot: silence.

Clarkson 1: Robot 0 - in about 20 seconds :clap::clap:

Indeed so, just take a look at the garbage pics appearing on Facebook ‘enhanced’ by AI.

They can and do include invalid/irrelevant information in their selections, however.

The other point is exactly the one I'm making.
