No, it looks like shit, like all ML art

Tbh part of my response to this is just knee-jerk reaction, this specific application might not be a bad idea, but I’m terrified of the surveillance state this type of stuff is warming us up for. There’s already talk of cops in US and China and probably other places planning to use ML like this to pore over security footage and find criminals/track people in general. To me this sounds like England’s first dip into that authoritarian pool, a proof of concept to see how viable it is keeping the entire country under 24/7 surveillance

Just because someone is in public doesn’t mean that they need to be under 24/7 surveillance by big brother. Isn’t England already infested with security cameras? The US is pretty lousy with them in some places and if I knew they were actively watching me I’d make a habit of breaking them, not praise them for helping to overpolice every square inch of the country

That might be the case tbh, but either way that would be bad and discriminatory. I might just be overthinking it, it might not actually be that bad, but I know discrimination like that is super common when it comes to how recognition-based ML is trained

Face recognition data sets and the like tend to be pretty heavily skewed, they usually have a lot more white people than poc. You can see this when ML image filters turn black people into white people or literal gorillas. Unless the data set properly represents a super diverse set of people (and tbh probably even if it does), there’s going to be a lot of race based false positives/negatives

I know exactly what AI is referring to. It’s referring to a process that has no intelligence behind it. There is no “field of AI” it’s a blatant misnomer, just like when they came up with “hoverboards” that still had wheels. Stop being a tech bro before you embarrass yourself and brag about your bored apes or some shit

Yes, obviously. Ffs how is this post so full of authoritarian assholes who think more law enforcement (not even done by real people mind you, but by a machine with no sense of nuance or anything) is the solution to anything other than strengthening a fascist government?

He’ll yea use machines to strip people of their freedom and privacy in exchange for “safety” and “security”, that could never go wrong

It’s going to disproportionately target minorities. ML* isn’t some wonderful impartial observer, it’s subject to all the same biases as the people who made it. Whether the people at the end of the process are impartial or not barely matters either imo, they’re going to get the biased results of the ML looking for criminals so it’s still going to be a flawed system even if the human element is OK. Ffs please don’t support this kind of dystopian shit, Idk how it’s not completely obvious how horrifying this stuff is

*what people call AI is not intelligent at all. It uses machine learning, the same process as chatbots and autocorrect. AI is a buzzword used by tech bros who are desperate to “invest in the future”

The only people that call it that are people who don’t get what AI actually is or don’t want to know because they think it’s the future. There is exactly nothing intelligent about it. Stop spreading tech bro bullshit, call it machine learning bc that’s what it actually is. Or are you really drinking the ML kool-aid hard enough that this is your hill to die on? It’s not even as intelligent as a parrot that’s learned to recognize colors and materials, it’s literally just a souped up cleverbot

There’s nothing intelligent about it. It’s no smarter than a chatbot or a phone’s autocorrect. It’s a buzzword applied to it by tech bros that want to make a bunch of money off it

ITT a bunch of people who have never read an ounce of sci fi (or got entirely the wrong message and think law being enforced by robots is a good thing)
