Reminds me of what happened when some junior animators attempted to show Hayao Miyazaki their AI-generated zombie animation a few years ago.
Not quite the reaction they were hoping for.
It definitely isn't the reaction they were hoping for, but it's also something that I'm not surprised by.
[EDIT] Apologies to Miyazaki, as the poster below me pointed out. I didn't mean to make him sound like his secretary would print emails out for him.
The poster below me is right on the money with Miyazaki creating pieces about technology & nature.
Miyazaki has a half century history of producing one groundbreaking speculative warning piece after another about the intersection of technology with human sin.
You make it sound like the guy wants a secretary to print his email for him.
(But FWIW: he's wrong here, that zombie thing was amazing -- creepy is the whole point, and the fact that the AI was unconstrained by human priors about how to move makes it even better.)
You're right on the money with his work. Makes me think of Princess Mononoke!
I for one beg to differ. I define the quality of the art by the emotions it evoques in me, regardless if man or machine made it.
They didn’t use the same words but the emotion was quite similar.
And now we all know AI does a better job than doctors at medical imaging. I wonder how he feels about it now.
“It's difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it”
When pitching an AI/tech product, choose the people you pitch to carefully. You’ll probably have a hard time selling to those you want to replace.
Pretty sure radiologists have their jobs secured for life regardless of the progress of AI image recognition. At least in Europe.
Most likely AI will be used as a tool, but the radiologist will have to sign off on the final verdict/diagnosis.
I could tell he was personally offended by the fact that some young computer nerd who knows nothing about medicine, can even suggest the idea that his decades worth of experience aren’t as good as a computer program.
He seems to not like it for that reason. The developers call the movement creepy and he basically says they can do creepy if they want, he doesn't.They also say their model doesn't understand pain and the movements reflect it, which he counters with an anecdote about disabled people he knows and how their muscles strain doing otherwise normal things and how not understanding pain is a problem.
It almost seems like they had no idea who they where trying to impress with their tech demo. I am far from an expert on his works but I don't see "creepy zombie animations" fitting in with any of his works.
And if there are some exceptions, we'll it will probably be plumbers.
