Comment on Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works
rdri@lemmy.world 9 months agoThey don’t reconstruct anything and they have no understanding of what the image contains.
With enough training they, in fact, will have some understanding. But that still leaves us with that “enhance meme” problem aka the limited resolution of the original data. There are no means to discover what exactly was hidden between visible pixels, only approximate. So yes you are correct, just described it a bit differently.

These models have spontaneously acquired a concept of things like perspective, scale and lighting, which you can argue is already an understanding of 3D space.
What they do not have (and IMO won’t ever have) is consciousness. The fact we have created machines that have understanding of the universe without consciousness is very interesting to me. It’s very illuminating on the subject of what consciousness is, by providing a new example of what it is not.

I think AI doesn’t need consciousness to be able to say what is on the picture, or to guess what else could specific details contain.
