AI Knives

I was thinking the same thing. I guess the AI engine references thousands of images from across the internet and then interprets it into something. Apparently it is looking at the multitude of Budk, Pakistani knives, Gas station knives, etc. from across the web. It clearly had an influence on the images it develops. Funny how the computer interpretation comes up with features that are unusable, or in some cases unrecognizable. In playing around with it I have seen some weird stuff, spikey sawtooth objects on the end of a leather strap, etc.

It appears that the AI has no real concept of what knives actually are or how they function. What seems to have happened is the system searched the web for tactical knives, then looked at those images for common themes and shapes. It then interpolated what it found and applied its findings to make pictures of knives using form without regard to function. This is most evident with the placement of pocket clips. The shape is identified as a common design element, but it seems that the function of a pocket clip is not taken in to consideration and the AI is just placing them randomly as some sort of decorative piece.

This is one of the aspects of AI that makes it potentially scary to me.

Eventually we’ll probably have AI that SEEMS like it has a concept of what humans are and how they function, but it really still won’t.

The AI that is commonly available is not the same as the AI tools available to professional users. You also need to guide the process rather than just tell it to draw/paint something.

In other words, human designers still know best. AI is only a procedural shortcut.
 
Doubtful.

If you've ever used Adobe Lightroom's AI removal tool, you'd know it has many glitches. I use a stand that I made to suspend knives during photo shoots. I was photographing a knife and clicked the AI tool to highlight the areas of the stand that I wanted to remove. This does work 60-70% of the time.
However, this time it replaced the parts of the stand with a pistol grip and a trigger. Who knew AI was pro-gun?
 
I hate "AI" and everything it stands for. It's neither what the marketing claims to be and I hope with a burning passion that "AI" bubble bursts as soon as possible.
 
Consumer level AI is nowhere near the sophistication of real AI. AI is being used to save lives everyday by detecting cancers earlier and more accurately than skilled humans.
