Maybe once, but not over repeat occurrences. Then you have an arms race between consumers tuning their aesthetic preferences to certain quality signals, producers trying to exploit those preferences without actually delivering quality, consumers re-adjusting their preferences after getting burned, etc.
A closer comparison might be dating profile pics, which as I understand dating "shoppers" quickly learn to distrust, at least for certain angles or types of shots. This AI enhancement stuff would presumably cause some rapid evolution in that particular arms race.
- ben_w 8y agoSuch an arms race is likely until either the AI or the customer brains hit their limits. The in-principle limits of a synthetic mind vastly exceeds anything biologically possible — it’s like comparing wolves to hills, both in size and speed, and silicon has the advantage both ways. The only thing keeping us safe is that we don’t yet know how our minds work.
