- The Disney+ movie Prom Pact is facing criticism for using AI actors that look horrendous, which is exactly what striking actors are trying to prevent.
- A Tweet calls out Disney CEO Bob Iger for using digital scans of actors instead of paying them fair wages.
- Negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and AMPTP have collapsed, with the industry CEOs walking away from the bargaining table due to the significant gap between the two parties on important issues like protection against AI.

art vs industry
Sometimes I'm having a good day, but then sometimes I think about how industry is actively killing creative fields and that goes away. People no longer go to woodworkers for tables and chairs and cabinets, but instead pick from one of hundreds of mass-produced designs made out of cheap particle board instead of paying a carpenter for furniture that is both made to last generations and leaves room for customization. With the growth of population and international trade, the convenience and low production costs are beneficial in some aspects, but how many local craftsmen across the world were put out of business? How many people witnessed their craft die before their eyes? There is no heart or identity put into mass produced items; be it furniture, ceramics, metalwork, or home decor; and at the end of the day everybody ends up with the same, carbon copy stuff in their homes.
I'm a big fan of animated movies, and I see this same thing happening too. When was the last time western audiences saw a new 2D animated movie hit theatres? I can't speak for other countries, but, at least in America, I believe The Princess and the Frog was the last major 2D movie released and that was back in 2009. Major studios nowadays are unwilling to spend the time and money that it would take to pay traditional animators who have spent years honing their craft to go frame by frame, and to pay painters to create scene backgrounds. We talk a lot about machines replacing jobs, but when the machines come, artistry professions are some of the first to be axed (in part because industry does not see artistry as "valuable" professions). Art, music, and writing are no longer seen as "real" jobs because they belong to the creative field and there's this inane idea that anyone who goes into those fields will be unsuccessful and starving. I'm not saying that 3D animation is bad, it has its own merits and required skills and can be just as impressive as anything 2D, but it has smothered 2D animation and reduced it largely to studios that cannot afford the tech to animate 3D.
And now we have this whole AI thing to deal with, stealing existing artists' work to "train" it to take over those few professions that, until now, required actual people to do them. Internet artists have already been dealing with people complaining about the price of art for years and now have to face their work being stolen to train AI. With AI technology, anyone who undervalues the work of the artist can now get something generated at little or no cost to them, all at the expense of the artists themselves. Why would studios pay script writers when they could just get an algorithm to do it without pay? Why pay actors to bring characters to life or pay models to pose for ads when CGI has progressed enough we could digitally render humans and cut out having to pay people entirely? Why use practical effects or film on location when green screens and adding in-post is faster and so much cheaper? It's no wonder we had the SAG-AFTRA strike. AI has already been trained to write children's books and produce music, continuing down this road will replace authors and musicians too at the convenience of cost. How much longer until the actual, real-life people behind all forms of artistry become completely obsolete?
Industry is just driving the cost of people-made crafts up and up with every mass produced product and every streamlined shortcut to reduce costs, which only makes it harder and harder for artists of all kinds to make a living, as very few people want to pay for the time and skill of artists when they could just pick something off a shelf or feed AI a prompt and get something satisfactory enough, yet not what they actually wanted, for so much cheaper.

Detecting AI-generated research papers through "tortured phrases"
So, a recent paper found and discusses a new way to figure out if a "research paper" is, in fact, phony AI-generated nonsense. How, you may ask? The same way teachers and professors detect if you just copied your paper from online and threw a thesaurus at it!
It looks for “tortured phrases”; that is, phrases which resemble standard field-specific jargon, but seemingly mangled by a thesaurus. Here's some examples (transcript below the cut):
profound neural organization - deep neural network
(fake | counterfeit) neural organization - artificial neural network
versatile organization - mobile network
organization (ambush | assault) - network attack
organization association - network connection
(enormous | huge | immense | colossal) information - big data
information (stockroom | distribution center) - data warehouse
(counterfeit | human-made) consciousness - artificial intelligence (AI)
elite figuring - high performance computing
haze figuring - fog/mist/cloud computing
designs preparing unit - graphics processing unit (GPU)
focal preparing unit - central processing unit (CPU)
work process motor - workflow engine
facial acknowledgement - face recognition
discourse acknowledgement - voice recognition
mean square (mistake | blunder) - mean square error
mean (outright | supreme) (mistake | blunder) - mean absolute error
(motion | flag | indicator | sign | signal) to (clamor | commotion | noise) - signal to noise
worldwide parameters - global parameters
(arbitrary | irregular) get right of passage to - random access
(arbitrary | irregular) (backwoods | timberland | lush territory) - random forest
(arbitrary | irregular) esteem - random value
subterranean insect (state | province | area | region | settlement) - ant colony
underground creepy crawly (state | province | area | region | settlement) - ant colony
leftover vitality - remaining energy
territorial normal vitality - local average energy
motor vitality - kinetic energy
(credulous | innocent | gullible) Bayes - naïve Bayes
individual computerized collaborator - personal digital assistant (PDA)

Me: AI art is bad because it steals from artists
Y'all: no, it's capitalism that's bad! It's not that simple!!
Me: yeah no shit, AI is actually kind of a cool technological leap and it negatively affecting creators is a direct result of capitalism and the consumerization of creative expression which has depreciated art into mere content, thus creating efforts to mass produce it while cutting labor costs and that harms the creative people who gave the arts value in the first place. AI generation would be awesome if it were being utilized ethically and the cost of living wasn't a massive problem. Due to these factors, AI art is bad because it steals from artists.

The union representing Hollywood musicians begins bargaining on Monday with demands for streaming residuals and protections from artificial intelligence.
The American Federation of Musicians kicked off the talks with a rain-soaked rally at the Sherman Oaks Galleria, home of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which bargains on behalf of the major studios.
The musicians’ top issues are the same ones that forced Hollywood writers and actors to go on strike last year, paralyzing the industry for six months.
Like the other unions, the AFM is not seeking to completely block artificial intelligence or “instrument replacement technology.” But the union wants to make sure that musicians can use it as a tool, and are not cast aside in the process.
“We’re not Luddites,” said Tino Gagliardi, international president of the union. “In fact, a lot of our people are developing this stuff. We need consent. We need compensation. And we need credit.”
The AFM represents about 70,000 members across the U.S. and Canada, including recording musicians as well as touring artists and orchestra and nightclub performers.

I honestly really do NOT understand how people make a connection between AI-generated artwork and AI vocal synthesis like????????
AI-generated artwork is meant to give you art. It's purpose is that it makes art for you. It generates an entire new image. Now, you could use this as a tool to create art, like, you can create reference images that you can use to create art, but it's overarching purpose is to fill the shoes of what an artist would use.
But like... AI vocal synthesis of any kind (commercial softwares like SynthV, VOCALOID6, ACE Studio, CeVIO, or those AI covers made using Diff-SVC, DiffSinger, or RVC) are nothing like that. They don't create anything for you. They give you access to a model that YOU apply to a music piece. Especially if you're using a commercial software, you are the one in charge, you are the one creating, it is, in every scenario, being used as a tool to make something.

prayer for the future
I hope to God that AI will train on itself for so long that it loses ability to generate anything accurately. I hope it gets sued into oblivion by artists, journalists, and mega corporations. I hope whatever it produces and those who use it to spit out creation instead of actually learning how to create are mocked roundly in every artistic measure.
I hope artists find hope for their work and being hired in the future. I hope people who have been replaced already get the chance to find better jobs with better benefits and bosses.
I hope this runaway industralization stops.

This is what the AI Hype is like: it's insidious marketing riding on peoples assumptions and the mantra of "inevitable technological progress" . Everything is predicated on that it "might" be "at some point" not what it is now. They are riding on peoples cultural understanding of AI in sci fi, the assumption of technological progress and our recent memories of computers and the internet changing our lives. When they say "this is the future: it's inevitable" everyone nods. Except outside some uses cases the shit doesn't work. They try and shoehorn it in everywhere but no one fucking wants it. And then they do the little song and dance saying it's the exact same thing as previous tech waves: "Tralala Gotta get in on it! gotta learn the tool! gotta teach it to the kids! gotta adapt! it might take some jobs but new ones will be created!" <- none of which makes any fucking sense.
