AI image slop vs physiotherapy!

@cstross — “there’s your problem.”

@cstross Damn these surgeons!

[pionir@masto.bike]

@cstross well I'm definitely not booking my appointment there!

@cstross
*Knack* Oh. Naja. Diese Ausbildung ist wahrscheinlich nicht so gut.

[byrnensorg@mastodon.ie]

@cstross Far too much faith is placed in ai for images. How on earth did we get to the point where people assume ai knows how bodies or clocks or indeed any devices move or work. It's only harvesting images, using recognisable sets of pixels in proximity to other pixels. The real surprise is how ai gets any image vaguely correct in the end, even with chance, but yet people are blindly assuming it knows everything about the content of the images it steals.

@cstross @GhostOnTheHalfShell I think there’s an amusing opportunity to physically create images that look AI-generated.

@FuturisticRobert

Nah, I think the reality is simpler and even sadder. I think they're banking on anti-AI sentiment to spread their ads.

[workshopshed@mastodon.scot]

@cstross two different sized socks, amateurs!

[ratel@mastodon.social]

@cstross No AI. Only two boobs.

Gotta be kidding...

@cstross you should learn some german to really appreciate it.

I'll guess that the person on the table did not have a bulge in their T-shirt when they entered the room.

@cstross reminds of when I subluxed my left knee and while recovering, read some books on knee surgery. Recalling a particularly evocative X-Ray of a downhill skier who jammed his ski in a tree trunk and consequently found his patella on the *back* of his leg.

@cstross While this is likely AI, having one’s leg surgeried on backwards is a real thing (even if surgeried is a word I made up) https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/procedures/rotationplasty

@cstross "No, no, I saw it online, this will *totally* work."

[graand@thecanadian.social]

@cstross This is like one of those puzzles ‘Find six things wrong with this picture’, except six might be selling it short!

[tobiwankenobi@kolektiva.social]

@cstross

It could be a very funny ad too, though, to be fair. The text above the picture says, "Find trainee positions that are actually suitable to you - with Azubiyo."

Showing a supposed trainee screwing up the physiotherapy would make sense here if it's supposed to be funny.

Also, we're talking about Germany...we don't really have AI yet. We just recently moved on from fax and modems to 3G and DSL /shrug.

@cstross @tomwwolf that left leg is pretty short too. Walks in circles with bad limp. No wonder she needs physio.

[zalasur@mastodon.surazal.net]

@cstross This raises *so* many questions
