Learning Ai prompts to fix old photos. Here is one I just tried to fix a old photo of me out at camp in my boat my dad built for me in the early 60's. Although it did a good job i did not remember the name Boo on the boat LOL
Prompt:
Sharpen this blurry image, remove all blur, remove all scratches and marks,remove unwanted objects, enhance clarity and fine details, make it crisp and high-resolution and Colorize.

It is interesting about how AI has evolved. I'm only 41yrs old and the more tech evolves the more I am starting to dislike it.
Kind of not good when I make my living working and teaching people to use high end construction automated machine control and survey equipment.
 
My wife lost her job recently to AI. She was a writer from home.

I hate AI
Love it or hate it, it is here to stay so knowing how to use it makes my life easier. Heck we have vacuumes that vacuume everyday without our help, lawnmowers that mow the law on their own, cars that drive them selfs and now I see this advertised "Optical Grilling" guess charco BBQ's are on way out as well LOL.
 
I did a portrait of my dog who,lets say has a very active digestive system.

My daughter is working on her PHD in educational curriculum development, and she is piloting how to "use" AI in the professional world and how to use it for non-trademark with integration into trademark items i.e. when it's appropriate. She is teaching that AI is a tool that is only as good as the input parameters, and input parameters are what can make the difference between a cartoon and something unique and real. It's interesting to me because that's how I use to teach 3D modeling many years ago as the model software we have been using has been based on vector based mathematical AI programing for a very long time........

As a side note in my work the State AG has made legal interpretation that its not allowed in meetings (open meeting law and FOIA, etc).....IE if someone turns it on in a meeting we (even the consultants) stop the meeting till it's turned off and end the meeting if it's not.

I recently sat thru 2 hours of the most boring introductory classes on the uses of AI in the chip industry. Long, drawn out and not the least bit interesting. However It does get better!!! There are at least 5 more classes scheduled down the road. OH BOY

I believe it creates laziness .
 
ai can definitely do some really cool stuff like update that old photo, but I also think society is in for a some very dark times ahead because of it and no one seems to be slowing it down or creating regulations/guard rails around it. Glad I'm 53 and not 23. Trying to convince my 18 yr old son to go into a trade rather than get a BS in something that will be obsolete before he graduates.

Not a fan of AI… can it be a useful tool… maybe?! But NOT a fan of AI taking over our essentials.

Photo edits or biz creation labels… great! But it has created… some very negative impacts.

It takes someone’s job and livelihood! And does so daily!

I know Justin… he and his wife are hard working folks. Bust their ass to make a living and support their fam.

Then after he says AI cost them his wife’s job… zero compassion?! You talk about some grill… 🤷🏼‍♂️

Wait till AI bites you in the ass… then let me see another LOL!!!

AI affects real people…. real people lose jobs due to that crap!

I have not been on the forum much lately due to truly hard work both personal reasons and my job that averages 40-50 hours a week depending… sometimes 60-80…

Nothing wrong with hard work… it builds the work ethic, confidence and self worth of a person. You might get a blister… builds character!

Keep your AI…

I can smoke my own food, drive my own car… and mowing the lawn… grew up doing that.
The smell reminds me of mowing with my Grandpa years ago.

The appellate "specialist" at a local DA's Office just got her ass handed to her by the State Supreme Court. She filed a brief and the Chief Justice called her out for citing at least 5 cases that do not even exist in her brief, and other cases that do not mean what the brief said, along with direct quotes that also did not exist in case law.

It turned out she used A.I. to write the brief and apparently never bothered to check the cites the "genius" software came up with (literally out of thin air and bull-shitium). Her boss has been in the hot seat all over the news since then.

I presume the assistant will be disbarred and loose her job. Brings every case she has ever prosecuted into question, not to mention the questions of was she the only one?

A.I. "may" be fun to play with but people need to not accept on faith it is accurate and has your best interest in mind. With a photo, it's easy to see "nope not what I wanted" and tweak the instructions. With other stuff, not so easy and requires human thought to determine if it is correct.

It the wild, A.I. has proven it will make stuff up and has no eye to blink or not a single care to give.....

Here is a link to a news story on the Georgia case I'm talking about. Has video of the Chief Justice calling out the prosecutor for making it all up.... This was on a murder appeal which is about as serious at it ever gets.
