honestly the best use of AI image recognition is to recognize illegal content. that spares humans the trauma. but you have to have a database of illegal content to train it on, so it's a catch-22. also AI (LLMs in particular, so it'd need to be some other kind of ML program) is notorious for being wrong a lot. which means it still needs more human supervision than an AI that does its function properly.
Yeah that last line is what I was picturing. Ive messed around a little with AI chatbots and the amount of things that I know from my professional life that it got wrong was pretty astounding.
which is why they just want you asking general shit. they know if you ask specifics that you already know the answer to, it will answer wrong a hell of a lot of the time. if you're an expert in the field, you know that it's wrong. if you're not, you just shrug and accept it.
which is why i get such a good chuckle out of vibe coders. that's their field. they should be able to recognize that the work the LLM puts out is shit.
i really don't want anyone to be an expert in recognizing CSAM though. ideal worlds and shit.
But thats just silly. AI is being touted as an intelligence machine.
I guess it's a stupid person's idea of "smart", it only knows general things, sometimes.
